    Chevrolet Adds Custom Sport Package to Silverado

      If you think the current Chevrolet Silverado has too much brightwork, the 2015 Silverado Custom Sport package might be for you.

    If you think the current Chevrolet Silverado has too much brightwork, the 2015 Silverado Custom Sport package might be for you. As a special edition package available on the LT and LTZ models, the Silverado Custom Sport package swaps out the chrome front and rear bumper, and grille surround for body colored versions. Chrome is added to the door handles and side mirrors. You can have any color of Custom Sport you like as long as it is white, black, or white diamond (LTZ only). The package also includes projector beam headlights, tow hooks, and heated mirrors.

    Chevy says this special edition pays homage to the 1967 Chevrolet Custom Sport that was available with bright trim and bucket seats.

    The Custom Sport package will cost between $1,950 - $2,950 with the higher number likely applying when selecting the white diamond tricoat paint.

    2015 Silverado Offers Custom Sport Package

    Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups

    DETROIT – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados.

    The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors.

    “The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s,” said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. “Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado.”

    The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today.

    For the 2015 Silverado, the Custom Sport package will be available as LT and LTZ models, including Z71s. LT models will be available in black or white, while LTZs will come in black or White Diamond Tricoat.

    Package prices will vary from $1,950 to $2,950, depending on the model. Dealers can place orders starting this month.

    One thing I was fan of post-MCE GMT900 Silverado 2500s was the Z71 package with body colored bumpers.

     

    GMC has the body colored bumpers in the All-Terrain package on the new Sierra. It does have more color choices than the ones offered for the this Silverado, though. The truck genuinely looks good.

    I generally by GMC for the lack of the chrome.

    I just wish they had an option where you could opt for Chrome or painted bumpers and grills on what ever truck. I am not a big chrome guy.

     

    Also with a lot of the chrome plastic anymore it just get dinged up anyways. That is my only real complaint on our Terrain is the chrome over the grill. I plan to replace it next year as it is looking crappy while the rest of the nose is pretty clean.

    A Terrain with body color grill would look really hot  especially on a black one.

    It would be better than the Denali. I am not a big fan of the Denali grill even if many others are. It is just my own thing.

    As for TTV6 you would have to cut some weight and lower it if you can. It is too top heavy for any real performance and needs to drop down below 4000  pounds to make the best of it. Maybe the next gen.

     

    I love my Terrain but I am realistic. As it is now it is not a good performance platform and it is not an off road vehicle as some want to think it is. It is basically a SUV like Minivan that my wife likes and I am not ashamed to be seen in it.

     

    Now in the next gen if they could lower it properly to where it still handles and once they remove some weight it might make for an appealing package. The other considerations is How Much. The Denali now is over $41K loaded. How high can you go and people will still buy?

    Got to give Ford one thing, they offer a lot of truck-related packages that allows for a lot of individualization.
    The more Chevy & GMC offer, the better for the consumer.

    The 2nd truck is not a LTZ, it's the 2014 LT w/ Z71 option. As Bill pointed out, 2015 Z71's have a silver painted grille ('14s have black colored grille).

    The truck in the original post is not an LTZ Z71, it's an LT Z71.  The '15 LTZ Z71 has a silver grille.

    Not a 2014 LT Z71, but a 2015 LT Z71, it has the body color door handles and mirror caps.  The 2015 LT Z71 has body color handles and caps, but retains the special black Z71 grille.  The 2015 LTZ Z71 has the silver grille, and I am not sure, but I think it has different wheels too.

     

    Hey Drewbert  :P  :AH-HA:

    For what it is worth we have a 2015 LT Z71 and it looks just like the second one posted with the chrome grill with the black inserts. It also has the same wheels. We lack the lower chrome on the front bumper. 

     

    The bigger difference is the leather on the inside and some detail items.   

     

    Unless  you know what to look for you can pass a LT off at a LTZ pretty easy on the outside.

    Love the look of the crew cab in Summit White in the press release. Too bad I can't actually get one that looks like the pic in the press release. Summit White is only offered in Double Cab and White Diamond is the alternative in Crew :(

    I really do like this, this makes me feel like I get a say in what gets placed on my vehicle, and how it looks. Makes me feel like I am building my own dream car.

      Yup. I wanna know though, where is the pushback from americans. You know, the riots...  Because the ONLY thing that can get americans out of this is violence...  If not, well...look at how real deal every day Russians and real deal every day North Koreans cope with their realities and that is the life that americans will have going forward for the next whatever years UNTIL you phoquers fight back... trump is weighing in on not even having mid-term elections...   (because he knows impeachment is heading his way if republicans lose the mid terms...not that will stop him from anything anyway...)  trump was hinting on running for president...again...for a 3rd term in 2028... Im mean...what other hints do you phoquers need to phoquing actually revolt???!!! yet here is another reason.  2 phoquing reasons. Forgetting that he caused an insurrection full of FALSE claims... 1. An actual invasion of a country with a KIDNAPPING (I do not care of this man was also a dictator, its NOT up to the usa to settle this...because the REAL reason is to steal THAT country's oil) 2. AN ACTUAL KILLING of an american CITIZEN...  A MOTHER. A 35 year old MOTHER.   oh....I KNOW how deep this is...  CANADIANS KNOW....how deep this is. It seems the ONLY phoques that do NOT know how deep this is... is americans...   Do I have to post Elbows Up or Gloves Off pics? Do I have to post phoque the usa with pics of burning american flags? Well... PHOQUE THE usa!!!    And in the garbage where the american flag belongs!!!

      I understand your concerns on ICE, but their EVs have been pretty rock solid as a standalone group. As I posted here, the savings and reliability have been impressive. So many coworkers are taking advantage of buying value powered EVs as we have moved into a large return period this year on EVs coming back off lease. I will say this, the latest coworker who has joined the Kia family picked up a 2yr lease return of the EV6 GT, powerful 4 door hatch that was $78K new and with only 18K miles on it he paid out the door $32K for the auto and it still has full warranty. He loves the 18 minutes to 80% fast charging as he is awaiting the install of an L2 charger in his home. Great deals to be had on EVs that can go the distance.

      Interesting that You Tube is terminating accounts that report real news about what companies are doing including moving out of the U.S. for greener stable places like Canada. Interesting read, the focus is shifting to what the computer can do rather than AI this, AI that as people especially those that have lost their job to an AI bot are fed up with AI. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/dells-ces-2026-chat-was-the-most-pleasingly-un-ai-briefing-ive-had-in-maybe-5-years/ "we don't actually care about AI PCs"  Because 1.) PCs without a 2000 dollar video card can't do any decent AI 2.) Shuttling all your stuff to cloud to perform AI is creepy AF.  NOBODY wants that. In 10 years, when AI silicon is cheaper then local AI will be great. But right now, your PC can get AI by either being really really expensive, or super duper insecure....

      Loki, the god of chaos, never ends it for humans who are willfully stupid, but rather inhibits their stupidity so it is never terminal. People just keep enacting the means of their own suffering.

      Yeah, the Maverick seems like a good little truck, my Ranger has been fantastic, but thinking Toyota for the next vehicle for a lot of reasons. Terminal rot inside of Ford being one of them.  ...I see the US eventually have to become more urban, and every prices can't stay cheap forever. At that point, the legacy Japan, Korea and China have in building affordable vehicles on an EV chassis will make Ford as obsolete as a steam locomotive or typewriter.  Still absolutely unsold on the reliability of Kia ICE, and would probably avoid Kia EV based on ICE reliability. Although I really like Kia EV products.  There is poetic justice with Ford and GM collapsing in terms of product quality alongside the United States cratering, ethically and legally. We will have a much messier, more rapid fall than Rome.
