The Silverado Centennial Special Edition is available in LTZ Z71 trim and Crew Cab configuration and features several cosmetic enhancements that evoke the rich history of Chevrolet Trucks.

Since the beginning, Chevrolet Trucks have focused on making the best possible vehicle to meet every customer’s needs. After building specialized trucks to serve its factory, Chevrolet introduced its first trucks to customers in 1918. They included the half-ton Light Delivery and the 1918 One-Ton truck. Both were offered with an open chassis behind the windshield that allowed customers to choose between purchasing or building a specialized body best suited for their vocation.

A century and more than 85 million trucks later, Chevrolet Trucks continues to be driven by customer needs. The Silverado offers a host of choices, in terms of body configurations and trims, along with a full line of special editions, giving customers more options for the perfect truck to fit their needs and personal style.

“Brand loyalty runs deep for Silverado owners, and the centenary celebration of Chevrolet Trucks is of great importance to our customers, too. By bringing this commemorative model to the region we are reiterating our commitment to answer our customers’ needs. I am confident Silverado fans will flock to our stand at DIMS to see this exclusive model in the metal,” added Ahmed Soudodi.
