You probably have already heard about how eight-speed automatic transmissions are going to find their way into the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks, along with other features such as the “GearOn” cargo management system and SAE J2807 tow ratings. The slew of updates won’t stop there, or anytime soon, for that matter, as we’ve just confirmed with dealer sources that General Motors will be gracing its breadwinning trucks with a new, black-out appearance package.
For Chevrolet Silverado customers, this package will be called “Rally.” It’s expected to entail a blackened grille frame, blackened mirror plates, black running boards, black wheels, and a black Bowtie logo. The package will also feature carbon fiber “appearance” decals. Meanwhile, the GMC version will get the “Carbon” designation.
These packages are expected to become available for 2015-model-year Silverado and Sierra 1500 pickups later this year.

Just give me a ZR2/SS (that would be power and suspension upgrades Ethel) Colorado option to put pin to!
Amen to that. But, these other packages may just help the public warm up a little more to a truck that is just fine contrary to media bias to them. BTW I’m starting to see a lot more of them on the roads lately too.
Black bowtie? It’s about time. The chrome and gold is hideous. Bravo Mary.
Appearance packages? I can dig it. Did GM confirm the availability of the new 8-speed tranny for the 2015 model year?
Only with the 6.2. The 5.3 and 4.3 will still use the 6 speed.
Looks like someone has dropped a little too much LSD…
Manoli,
I have a break down of the packages if you like the details.
Of course.
I have a PDF for the Silverado Rally and Sierra Carbon if theres a way to send it. Here’s the break down (In Canadian Prices) of the Silverado Rally. Essentially, the Rally 1 Pkg is just a $610 option on top of a True North edition truck (Not sure if you guys have that State side; option code PDU). Rally 2 edition is a $3890 option on top of the True North edition. Rally 2 Edition gives The Rally 1 equipment plus 22″ wheels and tires and 4″ round running boards.

These will be built for 2014 in the Double cab only. The 22″ wheels are a LPO so you should be able to get the 17″ wheels in addition to the 22″s from the dealer (this is unconfirmed though).
Well, My formatting didn’t work on that post so its a little jumbled. But I hope it helps.
Rally trucks have been on dealer lots in Los Angeles and San Francisco for the last week
