The Chevy Silverado can be a confusing truck. On one side, there are people who prefer the original functional design of a truck. You know the type, 4×4, high load, high clearance, tough. On the other side, there are people who have discovered the joys of turning a pickup truck into a lowrider. This particular Silverado is based on the latter group, albeit with a small twist. As normal lowriders would have had their utility taken away from them, this one is still able to load up a bike onto it’s bed. At least, that’s how Fraser Campbell designed this beast. And a beast it is, as it still retains the dimensions of a full-sized truck when placed side-by-side with standard cars.
I have the yellow Silverado with the black striping and ‘Silverado’ on the side, which came from the Car Culture, Trucks series. Chrome and black RR5SPs are the wheels of choice here, and honestly, they fit the truck well. The lowered stance highlights the huge wheels used for this truck. The 5 spoke design is very American, like classic Mustang American. And that’s good. The bike on the bed looks like a Hayabusa, though, or one of those Japanese sports bikes. There is a good splattering of chrome on the bumpers and the front grill. It’s just a shame that there are no details at all on the headlights and taillights. The tailgate handle could also have gotten some love here. The truck bed also shares the chrome of the bumpers, and if you remove the bike, it would be just as shiny.
The overall look and stance of this truck is something that I like. I am not a lowrider enthusiast, but I am not an overlanding person either. I am basing this on my own personal preference, but if ever I do get the chance to own a truck, it would be a functional workhorse. But this one is to keep.
