The Kinetic Buzz Of an Unprecedented Concept: Montana Compact Pickup In the Works From GM


Just a few sizzling summer weeks after officially announcing the plans for development for Chevy's upcoming compact pickup, Chevy released the first teaser image of the new vehicle. The Chevy Montana will be manufactured in Brazil, and is not yet available in the United States. 

GM believes heavily in Brazil, and we predict that a massive overhaul of the plant will provide innovative new concepts and tools to ensure the best results in a quality build and sustainable vehicle life. These images show the silhouette, which will sport a double cab configuration with four doors and ample seating for five. The Montana will in essence become Chevy's first compact-sized unibody pickup, boasting many notable advancements when it comes to the all-important architecture. 


This will allow for much better driving dynamics, and what we see from a glance is a small-stanced truck that is designed for tight spaces and urban driving, yet still has the bed to move the big stuff and the stature to quickly jump off-road if needed.


Another event that truck lovers are bound to get excited for is the ZR2 treatment coming to the Silverado. The truck that’s “celebrating those who love the mud” adds a 2.0-inch lift, 3.5-inch wider track, front and rear locking differentials, and Multimatic's spool-valve dampening technology. If you are thinking about a very “Montana” themed outdoor weekend coming up soon, the available Bison package for the ZR2 is ideal, as you get expertly-crafted AEV front and rear bumpers, and off-road-ready 17-inch wheels. 




The 2022 Silverado gets a brand new look with fresh dashboard design, gauge cluster, and optional digital cluster display. The classic column shifter setup has been removed, and the addition of GM's Super Cruise will allow the coming Silverado 1500 to drive in a semi-autonomous mode. Edmunds.com provides a comprehensive review database of customers who have had great experiences with Chevy trucks, and one very satisfied buyer was ecstatic about a 9,600-lb towing capacity, and the superbly economical 19 city and 22 highway EPA-rated gas mileage!
