The 2019 Chevy Silverado is a Boss
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is all new, and comes in a new Trail Boss model that's jacked up and ready for the rough stuff. Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu got his dirty boots and checked it out.
There’s a new boss in town.
Hennessey Performance has revealed the first production version of its new Chevrolet Silverado-based Goliath 6x6.
The Texas-based company starts with a Silverado Trail Boss Z71, stretches the frame to add a second rear axle, installs a custom bed with giant wheel openings and gives the truck a sky-high eight-inch lift.
It rides on a set of 20-inch wheels with 37-inch tires and its 6.2-liter V8 is boosted to 450 hp courtesy of a cold air intake and performance exhaust. Hennessey-designed bumpers, roll bar and upholstery round out the package.
The truck is one of 24 Hennessey is offering and was sold to a potato farmer from Wisconsin, but we’ll be surprised if he bought it to haul spuds to market because it has a list price of $375,000.
And while that seems like a lot, there's a market for this sort of thing. Hennessey has already built 14 of its Ford F-150-based VelociRaptor 6x6 that sells for a similar price.
