Callaway Performance is a well-known purveyor of supercharged upgrade kits for the Chevy Corvette and Camaro, but the Connecticut-based tuning company also has programs for General Motors trucks and SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Silverado.
Callaway recently announced a new tuning program for the T1 platform Chevy Silverado that it is calling the SportTruck. In a post on its Instagram page, the company said the new SportTruck will launch as a “Signature Edition” which will be limited to just 100 units, with reservations open now.
Callaway did not say if the SportTruck will be based around 6.2L L87 V8 powered Silverados, or the less powerful 5.3L L84 V8 model. All will feature an Eaton TVS R2650 supercharger, however, which will be flanked by a set of matte carbon fiber valve covers. Other upgrades include a carbon fiber grille bar, a cat-back stainless steel exhaust system and available wheel, tire and suspension packages.
Inside, the Chevy Silverado-based Callaway SportTruck will feature an Alcantara-covered steering wheel airbag/horn cover, hard-anodized aluminum door sill panels, billet sport pedal covers and a signature-build placard.
More details on the Callaway SportTruck will be released in the near future as its official launch approaches. The tuning company is already taking reservations for the upcoming supercharged pickup and is encouraging interested parties to reach out to it at [email protected] or 866-927-9400 to reserve their production build slot.
It’s worth pointing out that Callaway-built vehicles do not void the factory GM warranty and can be ordered from and serviced at GM dealerships. They also come with their own separate three-year, 36,000-mile warranty for all Callaway-installed parts and an optional five-year, 50,000-mile warranty. This gives customers the performance of a tuner pickup truck without having to worry about voided warranties, reliability problems or servicing convenience.

Whats Callaway website?
Welcome to the internet. That would be Callawaycars.com
iT WOULD BE NICE IF GMAUTHORITY WOULD LEARN HOW TO LINK TO SOURCES. WE’VE ONLY BEEN ASKING IT FOR 10 YEARS.
A rumor I’m trying to start says there will be a model designed for mold research laboratories.
It is to be called the SporeTruck.
😂 that is definitely a typo, or a recollection of the VW “caddy” SporTruck..! We described is as a “SportTruck”in our teaser post, but the actual name is “Callaway Silverado Signature Edition”…
With the leaky rear window seals in rear sliders, they may need this model.
Unless they build a regular cab short box, who would want one?
Should come with manual Transmission
Me cause I like the crew cab
It will sell.
That is the exhaust that GM should be putting on their trucks…
I think Chevy decided that the regular cab with the stnd box (6 1/2 ft bed) wasn’t quite a profitable as the double or crew cab and quit building them Shame on Chevy. I always loved the ones I had. GM is going strictly for profit and that’s all. I think GM has lost interest in return customers.
GM dropped:
Reg cab stnd 6 1/2 ft box
Step side pickups
Malibu Coupes
Impala Coupes
Next it will be pickups that are el stripper or luxopig. Only choices.
Or, the reality that design/validation/production costs make the low volume models mentioned unprofitable. What would you prefer, special unprofitable models that bankrupt the company for good or models that sell in sufficient quantities to justify their existence?
Well as an Australian I agree. GM classified our entire market as non profit so shut it, down a division of the company that traces its origins back to 1856 when it started as a coach building company. Holden has built some of the best hero cars in the world some now selling at auction for over 1 million dollars (AU), some of these cars were banned in America and the lesser models were rebadged and a half hearted effort was made to sell them no real push or advertising so I’m sorry that you guys missed out , so just for fun google Holden Torana, Monaro, Commodore SS, Sandman, Statesman, Caprice, Ute, then Google HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) these are the ones that were banned in USA, Maloo, Director, Club Sport, Senetor Signature, Grange, Club Sport Wagon, GTS R, Coupe 4, GTSR W1. And so Ford followed suit and closed down AU factories as well, needless to say we are very disappointed but hey life goes on. I love Asian built rice burners anyway.
Better buy your favorite gass Chevy before 2035 when electric crap blow fuses going thru puddles.
As a company with investors why would they focus on a unprofitable model
I love it best truck yes I am buy one my chevrolet
Why?
Because every human on Earth is different and some people may be interested in a truck like this.
You’re welcome.
GM lost customer care a few years back when they started ripping off us by charging for “ONSTAR”. I bought 4 GMs in the last few years and the onstar keeps going up. You pay $60 grand for a top of the line, then thy stick it to you so your features will work. I love the 6.2 or I would go back to Dodge
A cell phone pretty much covers everything On Star provides anymore
You get free onstar then cancel. No money spent and you still get onstar emails with diagnosis
Thanks Tom could not have said it better all the bad mouthing GM gets at least they are based in America…as for onstar I think that was outdated years ago Ryan is right just get a cell phone plug it in or if it’s wireless use bluetooth then there is no need for onstar…who nowadays does not own a cell phone??
Tip: 25% or 35% off OnStar if you have a Costco membership.
Just think a 5.3 or 6.2 super charged. Nice to have that foreign owned Ram in GM sights.
I’m impressed by Silverado’s grill how the name is presented with large letters.
There seems to be enough people out there who do not need their truck to be a family hauler who would create a significant demand for the regular cab, 6.5′ bed in the US. I have one, an ’07 with 150,000 miles that is in pristine condition. I paid $17 K for it in 2009 with <20K miles and I've been offered $15K for it within the past year. 4.8L V-8 and LT interior. I wouldn't sell cause I can't replace it with a new one unless I want a WT with rubber bumpers and floor covering or to import one from the middle east where GM still makes them,
Will it have a top speed of greater than 140 MPH, the highest number on the speedometer?
I understand that the regular cab, stnd box is a nich vehicle and the profit margin isn’t as much but they did sell a lot of them. Basically what GM did is go for only the vehicles with the max profit margin. About the only difference in product is a shorter frame and driveline. Everything else is off the shelf items for all other trucks. If Chevy keeps this up you will get one choice – maxed out crew cab with one box.
