No, it just means we’re gonna rally against it.

I can get behind this

I don’t understand the point of painting the door handles and side mirrors gloss black. They’re already black when they aren’t painted, like on the base models that cost half as much as this truck probably does.

The mix of chrome details and black accents and black plastic parts make NO sense.

Fog lamps and rear locker are the most rally thing about it but the same thing can be added to a regular truck. 22s are the least rally thing. A curb would ruin them and if they cleared the curb the “tubular assist steps” would get in the way.

What’s its towing capacity? Maybe it’s for towing your rally car to the rally.

Supposedly the rally edition package only adds about $7,000 to the price, but that’s still a lot of money for very little substance.

Same as a regular Silverado 1500 LT, near as I can tell

I expressed my dislike for Chevy’s “sport” packages.

It doesn’t even have an upgraded navigation system.

locking rear differential

I ignored everything else.

Might as well just ignore the whole thing

So, that being the complete list, what’s “rally” about it?

I think they just have to dig into the parts bin adn the paint shop every single time that they want to make a special edition vehicle. It would be a lot more special with like off road wheels, reinforced undercarriage bits and other truck stuff.

“Only adds about $7,000 to the price.”

Where?! What on that list justifies that price hike? If I were to see that truck on the road, there’s nothing that would make me stop and think that anything on it was part of a fancy options package. The black bow tie? The “tubular” steps? Ok... And? This is Texas, where everybody and their mother’s lapdog drives a truck. Mods like that are a dime a dozen.

Where’s the suspension upgrade? The better tires? Something more original than a tacky as hell red, black, and chrome color scheme?

Try again, Chevy.

You may as well take that 7k and put it in a bong for roughly the same gain.

Those glossy black handles, bruh. /s

But it has the trailering package, so you can trailer your actual rally car to the track!

FOH chrome is the best. Although gold is a very close second.

I know 1999 is cool and all but you should join this century.

I find it hilarious that, with motorsports becoming more accessible to people regardless of income, that manufacturers are still trying to get away with this crap.

Gotta love a $7,000 price tag for something that’s probably a glossy clear coat over the base matte black door handles it already comes with.
