    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.

      There is one thing that Im most worried about.  A desperate, down on his luck, meth addict will resort to violence when his cash is low. The usa is this eventual desperate, down on his luck, meth addict.  Already, the usa has threatened Canada's sovereignty a year ago before when the usa still had strong economic power. That economic power is fading away real fast.   1. trump relied on his 51st state rhetoric again and called Carney governor when he and his idiot cabinet realized the big words Carney used against the usa at Davos. Blames the China deal though as to disguise the fact that when Carney was speaking, he and his posse did not understand one spoken word.  2. Scott Bessent, born in south carolina, goes to show you HIS intelligence level regardless if he is a Yale grad, also flaps his lips in bravado...a full phoquing week  past by when he realized what that speech from Carney meant.  Still though...words of full of fight from Bessent to Canada though.   3. Pete Hoekstra talks tough of sending the us airforce into Canada if Canada does not follow through with the F35 purchases. 4. trump verbally attacking not only Greenland's sovereignty, but Denmark's and even Europe as a whole... 5. trump kidnaps Venezuelan's leader along with his wife stealing or trying to steal Venezuela's oil.  Bet you though that trump's friends are reaping from that operation... 6. innocent americans are losing their life murdered by trump's gestapo army called ice.   And all that when the usa is not suffering yet. When it comes to that, the usa is still a powerful military force, what WILL this administration do?     This situation is very alarming more so than the Cuban missile crisis.   And that is why news leaked out that Canada is preparing for a usa invasion and how Canada is to deal with it...

      trump threatened 100% tariffs on Canadian products again as a result of this deal.   Well, trump does not want a free trade deal between China and Canada.  Many things wrong with that thought process...but... The EV trade deal  between China and Canada is not by ANY means a free trade deal between our two countries. Its just a deal regarding a few products that China and Canada agreed to eliminate or reduce our respective tariffs on our respective products that we trade with each other.    But...only focusing on the 100% tariffs that trump likes to speak of... At THIS juncture, I dont think Canadian politicians and finance ministers care all that much anymore. I mean, they care, but they arent afraid of the potential down falls of the Canadian economy as it once was threatened 8, 9, 10 months ago.  Carney has had the time to renegotiate trade deals with the rest of the planet to sell our goods to our existing partners. It was easy to do as trump also threatened Canada's allies...  The WORLD was under the same phoquing threat.  The world just united together AWAY from the usa.  Also...Carney was able to talk to countries OUTSIDE of Canada's usual trading partner's to reach NEW markets to sell our goods to...  What is really frightening to the usa's future is that  1. trump has alienated usa's allies AWAY from the usa. 2. trump has also UNITED usa's enemies with usa's former allies...  3. usa's enemies remain usa's enemies.  China and Russia and North Korea arent exactly usa's friends. trump , family and friends get to profit from Russia, but not americans...    Licknut, or Nutlick or whatever this grifter's name is keeps on harping on the fact that Canada's  75% of exports are to the usa. 1. While true...Carney and Canada have now NEW trading partner's to sell to. It looks like a good chunk of that 75% is now going to go to other markets...  CUSMA is still important though.  But Mexico and Canada could now actually live without the usa.   2.  And THIS IS MORE important... While true that 75% of Canada's exports are to the usa...tariffs are paid by the country that IMPOSES these tariffs.  75% of Canada products are a HUGE amount to BOTH countries... A) That 100% tariff on Canada's products will cost americans dearly... B) 75% of those products NEED to be purchased elsewhere...like potash and aluminium and wood... Where in the phoque is Licknut/Nutlick going to replace all those Canadian products?  At least Canada has new markets going on...  Is Licknut/Nutlick busy on the global stage trying to get new products in?  All I know is trump keeps on threatening the world with tariffs...  Hence why the world gave Carney a standing ovation when Carmey said that the world SHOULD just ignore the usa and let the usa just wither and die...

      When the deal was announced about 49 000 Chinese entering Canada and increasing every year up to 75 000 or whatever it is in the next 5 years... no details were announced about where these Chinese EVs would be built.  Hints and allegations but nothing announced in the media. I guess the would be plans have been announced now.  Dougie Ford, a conservative Premier of Ontario... was not happy about it. But why is it that ALL conservative/republican and right leaning politicians in North America always get their panties in a twist and ALWAYS NEVER work with solutions that benefit ALL and ALWAYS go against the phoquing grain?  But I digress...  Dougie Ford was upset and publicly denounced the move.  Why is that bad? 1. Canadians NEED to stand together in face of the threats that are coming from the usa. 2. Carney...is a conservative leaning leader himself, but is heading a liberal, left leaning party but I digress again...Carney is not a politician. He is a finance guy. Was THE finance guy in Steven Harper's cabinet when Steven Harper was Prime Minister, yes...CONSERVATIVE party...and was THE finance guy in the UK when he took the job there when the Canadians conservatives shat the bed again...and took the UK finance job when asked by the UK torries just when the Brits were talking about Brexit. He advised the UK CONSERVATIVE party NOT pursue Brexit...but I digress again...  Carney is a smart FINANCE guy. Carney does deals between countries.  He knows what is good for the country he represents...in other words...Carney would NOT phoque Canada up... and Dougie Ford should have known that instead of causing a public riff to which trump could exploit.  Big oil and fox news and right wing parties from the usa and Canada already have their claws in Alberta...  Some Albertans are diseased with this shyte that is going on with right wing bullshyte... 3. Like I said...hints and allegations were winked at that Chinese EVs would eventually maybe be built in Canada and the way Carney spoke BEFORE Davos, is that Canada is ready to decouple from the usa.  And eventually Carney and Dougie Ford spoke and this is what Dougie had to say yesterday or was it today?   4. Carney then went to Davos and spoke with words that trump's administration could never understand, he used bigly words and what was said was that Canada and the rest of the world should and could and will decouple from the usa and that the usa will be irrelevant to which all the political leaders there applauded Carney with a standing ovation.   And of course China WANTS to build their EVs here in Canada: Your link also suggest that Canadian finance leaders and trade makers TOLD the trump administration what WILL happen with China BEFORE China and Canada met to draw up this EV deal...   " Canada didn’t take the U.S. by surprise, the official said. When asked about Canada detouring from matching American tariffs on Chinese EVs, Trump said Carney was doing the right thing."   And of course when the deal was done...trump said publicly:   “That’s what he should be doing. It’s a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that," the U.S. president said.   And of course China WANTS to build their EVs here in Canada:   Canada cut tariffs on Chinese EVs from 100 percent to 6.1. Trump threatened 100 percent tariffs in response to deal. China now wants to build EVs in Canada with local partners. Canada’s recent trade deal with China was bound to cause controversy. The agreement slashes tariffs on Chinese EVs from 100 percent down to just 6.1 percent, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to threaten 100 percent tariffs on Canada if the deal proceeds. Still, China insists the arrangement is meant to benefit both countries and isn’t a zero-sum game.

      Had a coworker who just bought one as the VW dealership had the fully loaded ID.Buzz with MSRP of $72,595 marked down to $29K with a butt load of VW discounts and the dealer wanted to get rid of it. He said the same thing you did, but at the price, he thinks it will be an awesome local use auto for the family and kids. Totally agree that my EV9 is a far better purchase than this for the original prices.
