In November, GM Authority was the first to report that the Chevy Silverado Redline Concept shown at the 2019 SEMA Show would go into production for the 2021 model year. And now, we can exclusively report that Chevrolet will open order banks for the production version of the pickup truck in January 2021.
Silverado 1500 Redline Concept at 2020 SEMA Show
Though specifics about the new 2021 Chevy Silverado Redline package have yet to be announced, it is likely to be similar to that of the concept vehicle. That truck had a new black grille which extended across the front end, connecting the headlamp housings and providing a contrast to the silver paintwork. Those headlights features high-intensity LED lighting elements fitted inside dark bezels. Below the bumper, red recovery hooks stand out against the background of the black lower insert.
The black-and-red theme continues along the sides. The door handles and four-inch tubular side steps are black, and there are red accents on the side mirrors. The Silverado badging on the front fenders is in a black script with a red outline, while the 20-inch black wheels feature red striping. The Silverado badging on the tailgate is similarly black with red outlining. The tail of the Silverado Redline concept also has black dual exhaust tips with a trapezoidal shape.
Other features on the Silverado Redline concept include red six-piston brake calipers, floor mats with red accents and the illuminated Bowtie emblem known as the “Glowtie” on the front grille.
The concept vehicle is based on the 2020 Silverado 1500 RST, and has both front and rear lowering kits along with Chevrolet’s Performance Exhaust and Cold Air Intake kit. In the case of the 6.2L V8 L87 engine, the kit raises the power output by 12 horsepower from the stock 420 horses. It’s highly unlikely that the 2021 Silverado Redline will feature these suspension and powertrain enhancements, which are mostly available as standalone upgrades.
The production vehicle will not be the first Chevy Silverado Redline to go on sale. Chevrolet offered a Redline Edition package on the LT and LTZ trims of the previous-, K2-generation Silverado in the 2017 model year, having previously shown a concept version at SEMA.
Last-generation, 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Redline Edition
The Silverado will therefore rejoin Chevrolet’s list of vehicles offering Redline Edition packages, joining the Blazer, Camaro, Colorado, Equinox, Traverse and Trax. The Redline package was also offered on the now discontinued Cruze, and has been discontinued from the Malibu.
Chevy’s bread-and-butter truck will also offer a special edition called the Silverado Realtree. As GM Authority was first to report, it will also become available to order in January. Pricing has not yet been confirmed for either of the two special editions.

The 6.2l has 420hp not the 460 you indicated in the article.
Indeed. Corrected now.
How much lower are the front and rear lowering kits? Are they in parts catalog?
I like the drive train and power but it looks like it was beat up by a ugly stick.And i am a GM guy ive owend six in the last 15 years but dam …horrible looking
I think they were trying to appeal to the demographically younger but GMC is more traditional looking and there sales have been up and chevy sometimes down but you have to pay a little more especially if you do not want fire engine red,plain white or plain black
When is it available in Saudi Arabia
Great looking truck
Just another gimmick to sell a truck Yawn
More stickers and paint, higher price.
I’m curious, wondering if these Redline vehicles of various models are even available in Canada. Because I have never seen one on the road here. Also this would make more sense for cars or suv’s. How practical is a overdosed, gas guzzling truck really worth having?
Well Roy, if people who really didn’t need a truck would quit buying them the prices probably wouldn’t be so high. As for gas guzzling run time should be to the job, on the job and back home, they were never meant to go pick up groceries or anything fancy but a insecure generation saw them as an extension of their manhood or something I don’t understand.
Back in the day Dad had truck to take to work,trailer toys and pickup materials etc.etc.etc. and mom had a nice size to big car for her needs today not many families can afford 2 car notes that are more than a mortgage plus so many people are co-parenting today so they need something that will do everything. I do not think there are as many people as you think that buy trucks without a use for them,If you look at used ones the boxes are usually scratched up, a lot of them so bad dealers throw a cheap plastic liner in them. I will say there are a lot of people getting the off-road models for no reason.
@Joe Berkley:
Couldn’t agree more. Sad that American masculinity is so fragile it needs to have these vast, cartoonish vehicles to bolster it. I see them around town all the time. Lifted. Polished to a bright shine. Taking 2 parking spots. Their bed liners pristine…..because they’ve never had anything in them.
My dad used to say what the hell did they buy it for, to haul flowers for the funeral home…
I like the concept, but what would be really cool would be a nicely equipped two-door some of us still like two-door pickup trucks, and the market for the classic ones prices just keep going up so why not make it two door.
On the last gen they had some pkgs. on reg.cabs but at the end of the day the option content was low,pricing did not offer value,rebates where not there.instead of placing tools and provision in the back seat need a weather proof and lockable cover and resale value is far less and it has been that way starting 20 or so years ago and got worse. Who can you blame the oem”s or the market? Got a 1 year old used,low mileage GMT800 reg.cab step box every available option plus it came with a spray in bedliner and an ARE fiberglass cover.price half of MSRP and that was 15 yrs. ago, would I have bought it new, not a chance. Will never part with it,to me it is like a child
I need the regular cab long bed truck, but Chevy quit making the 1500 in a long bed LT. All you can get it in is an ugly work truck. I wish they would bring back the LT in a regular cab long bed I have 285,000 miles on my 2011 and want to buy a new truck. I am going to wait until the 2022 model comes out and if they don’t offer a regular cab in the LT trim I might have to go to Ford.
I know, I agree. Not everyone wants or needs 4 doors. I myself would like a 2 door trail boss truck. But GM continues to only think of their profits and not what the people want. So I might just have to go elsewhere as well. Wake up GM before it is to late
This truck looks Awesome as is. I, have a 2015 Chevrolet 1500 53550 miles, garage kept, 24” wheels, Flow master 50 Resonator, muffler taken off,; Mobile One accessoried the inside; when I saw this truck I am definitely going for this one. 😉😎
Is it possible to order a new GMC 2500 with a factory installed supercharger on a 5.3
not a chance 2500s only come with a 6.6 and only supercharged engine is a 6.2 only available in a big buck camaro
I love SILVERADOS but when will Chevrolet add performance to these trucks instead of just appearance package if I drive a redline edition I want more to the truck then just the look.
I would like for them to bring back the single cab 4 wheel drive short bed V8
I would too if the priced right which they have not been for a long time plus they were lacking in options. I do not think it is worth it to them to even design about a 120 inch wheelbase frame anymore
Right on with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish they would bring back the averlance Ltd it rides very quiet a lot power and I like the looks of my 2007 it’s been a high mileage truck for 2 years now .and still not afraid of going any where in it . still has a lot of power in my 5.3. The only thing don’t leave out both tool boxes
A nice 2 door LTZ 1500.2500.3500..
Gilles. Yes they are available here in Canada , although they are rare. I have a 2018 Silver Redline Crewcab LTZ . I added duel catback exhaust, 3 inch level kit , BF Goodrich K02 off-road tires and a Range Technology AFM disabler. They where available in Silver , Black and White in both crewcab and Double cab versions. I’m confident the all new 21 model will be available back up here in the new year.
I Am 60 Years Old GM Trucks is all i have ever Owned 4×4 short bed single cab if GM does not start macking
them again my next truck will be a Ford single cab short bed 4×4 wake up GM
X2 I agree I’ve been buying the regular cab shortbeds for years now they tell me they quit making them I’m sure not interested in the smaller trucks either
I think you are going over to the ford family, if they are not making a GMC reg. cab and only a chevy in long bed W/T unless they have a change in heart after they have 3 plants making trucks.
Chevrolet basically quit making cars and are focused on SUV’s and trucks, Seems like they would make a nice truck for the working man. I am a contractor and need a regular cab long bed, I am in my truck hauling materials most of the day, I like a nice truck with some features and looks, as of right now the work truck is ugly. If they can make this truck in the LT version I will be in the market to buy one!
They still do I bought a 2021 regular cab LT and love it
Was it a 1500 or 2500? I can’t find a 1500 even on GM’s build and price web site.
Its a 2500 Z/71 I don’t think the 1500 longbed version is availible anymore
It is, but only in an ugly work truck version.
