Chevrolet Silverado RST Off-Road and RST Sport Concepts Debut
Pickup owners love customizing their trucks, so naturally, modified pickups are a common sight at the annual SEMA show.
At this year’s SEMA show, General Motors is showing off all the different ways you can customize the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado using genuine GM accessories. The automaker today debuted four concept trucks it plans on bringing to the show, each with a different theme.
We think Chevy fans will be most interested in the Silverado RST Off-Road and Silverado RST Sport concepts. The RST Off-Road is based on the standard Silverado RST and builds on the package with a two-inch suspension lift and a new off-road appearance package that will available through Chevy dealers. The appearance package consists of a sport bar, a soft tonneau cover and assist steps. The truck also gets 18-inch wheels with off-road tires, black exterior trim, a cold air intake for the 5.3-liter V8 engine, an LED light bar, a side-mounted bed storage box and other small add-ons.

The RST Sport, meanwhile, places on emphasis on street performance instead of off-roading. As such it gets concept body side graphics, a hard tonneau cover, gloss black 22-inch wheels, a cat back Borla exhaust with carbon fiber exhaust tips and faux carbon fiber mirror caps, door handles and interior trim. There’s also small performance upgrades, such as a cold-air intake for the 5.3-liter V8 engine, six-piston Brembo front brakes and a lowered suspension.
Completing the lineup of SEMA Silverado concepts are the Silverado High Country Concept and Silverado LTZ Concept. These trucks show off the various ways you could customize the well-equipped Silverado High Country and Silverado LTZ models. The High Country gets bronze exterior accents, bronze 22-inch wheels, a two-inch lift, a cold-air intake for the 6.2-liter V8, a catback exhaust from Borla, an illuminated Chevy bowtie emblem and a rear-seat infotainment system. The LTZ, meanwhile, gets a cold air intake for its 5.3-liter V8, 22-inch wheels, an illuminated Chevy bowtie, a cat-back exhaust and other dealer-installed Chevy accessories.
