Taking
cues from Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s “Big Red” Silverado
that debuted at SEMA in 2006, the ’08 Silverado HD Crew Z71 Big
Red demonstrates how that expressive concept’s unique features
would look with production-type components. It combines numerous GM Accessories
inspired by Earnhardt’s Big Red and features additional custom
touches. It also supposes the popular Z71 off-road package on the Silverado
2500HD – a model not offered by the factory. It’s powered
by the 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 and a six-speed Allison transmission.
