A few days ago, GM Authority was first to report that GM plans on bringing to production the Chevrolet Silverado HD Z71 Sport Concept for the 2021 model year. And now, we’re here to report that the Silverado Redline Concept will also be brought to production for the 2021 model year. Both Chevy trucks were shown at the 2019 SEMA show.
The Silverado Redline Concept would “match the lineup for ’21,” Chevrolet Silverado Marketing Director Hugh Milne told GM Authority at the SEMA Show. In that regard, Milne is referring to other Chevrolet models that currently offer Redline Edition packages, which include the Camaro, Blazer, Colorado, Equinox, Traverse and Trax. Previously, the Cruze and Malibu also offered the Redline package, but it has since been discontinued on the Malibu, while the Cruze has (infamously) been discontinued as a model.
In fact, the previous-generation, K2-based Silverado also offered a Redline Edition package on the LT and LTZ trims. The concept version of that truck was shown at SEMA and the package was brought to market a year later, for the 2017 model year.
The Silverado Redline shown at the 2019 SEMA Show is based on the 2020 Silverado 1500 RST, which means it’s rocking body-color front and rear bumpers, LED fog lamps, LED lighting for the cargo area, and a power tailgate.
Up front, the Silverado Redline concept adds a new black grille that stretches across the nose, connecting the headlamp housings. The Redline concept also features high-intensity LED lighting elements fitted inside dark bezels. Lower in the fascia, it features a pair of red recovery hooks set inside black lower surrounds.
Moving on to the side, the Silverado Redline Concept features a red accent on the wing mirrors, black door handles, and black four-inch tubular side steps, along with Silverado badging on the fenders finished in a black script with a red outline. The corners are fitted with 20-inch black wheels with the trademark red striping. The concept is equipped with a front and rear lowering kit, giving the truck an additional dose of street style.
Out back, the 2020 Silverado Redline Concept has black dual exhaust tips with a trapezoidal shape, along with a black font and red outline Chevrolet and Silverado badging on the tailgate.
The show truck is also wearing several Chevrolet accessories, including the illuminated Bowtie emblem – the “Glowtie” – on the grille, red six-piston Brembo brakes, plus floor mats with red accents. There’s also a Performance Exhaust and Cold Air Intake kit from Chevrolet that adds 12 horsepower.
In all, the addition of the Redline Edition package to the all-new, T1 Silverado models will bring a tasteful addition to the full-size pickup, and we welcome its arrival for the 2021 model year.

” Performance Exhaust and Cold Air Intake kit from Chevrolet that adds 12 horsepower.”
Is that confirmed for the 5.3L, or just on the 6.2L?
And will the 2″ lowering be included with the production Redline?
The Performance Upgrade Package (exhaust/intake kit) can be optioned for the 5.3L V8 L84 or 6.2L V8 L87 engines.
Currently unclear whether the lowering kit will be part of the package.
I believe they specifically only call out performance gains on the 6.2 though. Was just looking to clarify if GM was now also spec-ing gains for the 5.3 like they’ve done in the past for things like running e85 through the 5.3
Correct, the performance gains are cited for the L87.
I’ll circle back on gains for the L84.
Nice to see a lowered truck. Maybe side steps are unnecessary? Now put the package on a reg cab short box for U.S.
Omg would it cost them a arm an a leg to put more into these trucks really when you think about it it has a lot of outside appearance as a silver trail boss black grill red tow hooks black wheels come on Gm grow a pair
Chevrolet / GMC needs to spend more money and time on developing a transmission… Go to any Chevrolet dealership such as mine… 25 trucks 1500 waiting to get Transmission Service done they know they have a problem but avoid yet.. on my third transmission in my 2015 Denali… With 61000 miles on it still under warranty thank God
I would like to see a mid size V8 with a Roots type of supper charged option on a full-sized pick up with a paddle shift transmission. They would sell fast.
Maybe it’s just me as I prefer the headlight cluster found in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD more appealing and it’s something every Silverado should feature.
I agree with the growing a pair comment what happened to the chevys that people had to just get even when they knew they couldnt afford it, but made it work cause it was just that bad ass come on blow the others out of the water put something out that even Ford or dodge boys can respect come on chevy take charge and show what you guys are really capable of building some American made bad ass shit
2021 wow, way to put in so much effort on another boring attempt. What about the interior? Maybe that should be fixed first. I have an 18 Sierra and was just looking at an RST a couple days ago. And now I see why all the hate for the new truck interior. How can my 18 be so much nicer than the 19’s? The hard plastic dash vs the padded dash in my 18 is unacceptable.
But at least we have this 2021 red line concept. Lolololol.
I would have to agree….as the exterior of my new Trail Boss is easy on the eyes, yet the interior in comparison to my ‘17 GMC Sierra interior (very similar to Silverado that generation) is apples to bowling balls. Just feels very cheap. (The new GMC is no picnic either) Between all the hard plastic, poor instrument cluster design, Chevy isn’t as bad as GMC IMO (GMC instrument cluster made me say “no” as that’s the part I have to look at every drive), point being by the time you spec either trucks interior to be aesthetically pleasing, even with the poor design in some areas you are almost at price point of a Raptor, which the interior/exterior can rival any Chevy or Denali. Point being the interior matches the exterior aesthetics on the Raptor, as a more performance driven truck line. I just think Chevy really cheaped out on interiors, could have done a little more to follow the aggressive tone the exterior sets.
What a nice looking ford, o wait
The frontend is butt ugly. Weird design and yes the 2500HD is better looking. This weird tabbed fender extensions and the black plastic gap at the ends of the front bumpers make them look weird. Get rid of the disaster of a front end.
BFD what’s GM going to do about power (or the lack of)
Trucks are starting to really look like crap. Being a Chevy enthusiast, I can remember when trucks were made of steel, not plastic or tin. And the price! Really?!!! Am I buying a freakin’ home or a truck? Get rid of all computerized crap, and start making trucks again. Tired of China’s influence on America’s #1 and best truck.
Is Chevy planning on bringing back the Avalanche? If so when? If not, why? If not why don’t they design the new trucks with the fold down between the back seat and bed of the truck to extend the footage of the bed? This is an awesome feature and I don’t understand why Chevy wouldn’t promote this. I can’t tell you how many times I have used this feature and all the great comments I get from people when they see it. They are absolutely shocked. Yes I love my Avalanche and would love to see them brought back.
Is this a joke? So…they lowered it, gave it the same crap 5.3 or 6.2 options theyve got for everything else and splashed some red on it…Was GM just super desperate for something to show off at SEMA? What a waste, maybe you start trying.
bring back the warranty put the 60,000 back in or better yet show the world you are the best and stand be hind your line up 10 year 180,000 warranty 5.3 L 400 HP and stop showing what you can do with a pencil and paper and make some of these kick ass trucks the paper has to offer YES GM IS GOING TO FAD AWAY not what we want as long as the big boys line there pockets oh wait if people stop buying the crap they are make and move on no more pocket lining time to make Nissan my new truck buy for ever GM RIP.
