Chevrolet isn’t stopping anytime soon with its special editions surrounding its pickup trucks. The latest news, however, is in regards to Canada.
The United States won’t be the only market to receive the latest, upcoming special edition, as Chevrolet has announced the Silverado Realtree edition will launch in Canada come spring of 2016.
“Working with the team at Chevrolet on this new Realtree Edition Silverado really brought home to me just how important the right truck is for outdoor enthusiasts,” said Realtree Designer and President Bill Jordan. “You just don’t realize how much goes into building a true performance vehicle until you look behind the scenes. The men and women at Chevy truly delivered on this project. This truck has the perfect combination of features, comfort and safety – whether you’re driving around town, on the highway or off road.”
The Chevrolet Silverado Realtree edition adds camouflage graphics from Realtree on the exterior, and Realtree logo embroidered on the front-seat headrests. Additionally, interior attributes feature the Realtree camo logo and graphics.
Completing the look are blacked out bowtie badges, blacked-out trim, black, 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires.
The Realtree edition will join the Silverado Special Ops edition in the U.S. this coming spring.

“This truck has the perfect combination of features, comfort and safety – whether you’re driving around town, on the highway or off road.”
So camo, black badges and some interior emboriderly, makes this the “perfect combination” over any run of the mill Silverado? Ok on all terrian tires (assuming they’re not the stock Z71 package tires that is), but then that’s only good for off road, not “around town or on the highway”.
Listen, I know GM loses nothing from this; gets basically free advertising from a brand like Realtree and its followers, and gets talking points when one of these sits on a show room floor, and all they have to do is get their supplier to make some of this semi-customized stuff and Realtree probably pays a big chunk of the promotion, but let’s not insult buyers by saying there is something that this truck can do that any others can’t…at least The North Face Avalanche from 2002-04 (RIP) has some custom features that were actually useful and not found in the GM parts bin (or used thereafter in the GM parts bin).
