Silverado ZRX Mule

SEMA

The Silverado ZRX - reports of this off-road version of the new Silverado began circulating a few weeks ago and these photos may show an early mule of the vehicle.

In its original report from September, GM authority stated that the rumoured Silverado ZRX will slot above the current Trail Boss in the lineup and “feature a more robust suspension, DSSV dampers from MultiMatic, front and rear electronic lockers and modified bumper treatments for improved departure and approach angles.”

The model seen in these photos features a modified front bumper that is noticeably shorter than anything currently offered on the Silverado, resulting in massive improvements in the approach capability. There’s also a piece that juts out from that shorter front bumper. It all looks very much production and the rest of the vehicle appears stock, though it certainly seems to be an early development effort at the Silverado ZRX.

It was also reported that GM had trademarked the ZRX name in both the United States and Canada, lending more credibility to the speculation.
