When I was trying to qualify for an AMA National this summer in Binghamton, NY, to my surprise, Chevy brought their Fox Motocross Concept truck for all to see. Seeing as I'm a motocrosser, I'm obviously biased...but if that truck see's the light of day for under $45k, the L will be up for sale and I'll be a buyer.

I wish I could find the link to show you guys (it has been brought up before here), but basically its a Chevy 2500-based 4x4 extended cab, with:

Four real doors
Four bucket seats
Two sunroofs
6-foot bed (with cutouts in the tailgate to hold 2 bikes)
"Custom" dual exhaust with 4" tips through the rear bumper
Slide-out ramps built underneath the bed
Tool boxes built into either side of the bed with pull out drawers
Front passenger side of the bed had a "door" that swung open
YELLOW tinted windows
~35" tires on 17' rims, and and most importantly...
a Whipple supercharger!

I remember reading a while back that it had like 429 hp, but the "tech" guy there didn't know much else (boost, tq etc).

I was across the pit when I heard it start up (it sounded pretty nasty), but by the time I had made my way over there again they had shut it off.

Obviously it wouldn't be nearly as fast (or fun) as an L, but since it does have a supercharger, I think I'd be willing to sacrifice the extra L quickness for the Chevy's extended cab, 4x4 (the L is currently my year-round daily driver), and al the little motocross amenities. I don't see them ever having the ***** to make it, but I can always hope. Just figured I'd throw it out there.

Later...

nice truck..

It provides some nice acceleration in the much lighter Dakota, but I think I saw an article somewhere where it said in the Ram it can't even maintain more than 70 mph on slight highway grades.

 

This is probably a more likely version of the SS. What I can't figure is, why we're not seeing them on the streets.

Chevy SS 1/4-mile time: 14.12 @ 100.22 mph
Chevy SS 0 - 60 mph: 7.08 seconds. The L will have its number. http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/stor...oys/toys4.html

 

LOL, ROFL, LMAO, I can't stand this anymore

You and BBQ would make a great Vaudville Team, you should start a Ad Service Co for the net. Call it "Saint Buckaneers Advertising"

 

I want the dual JL intake, and I want it NOW!

 

Look no further than the SSR. Where's the 6.0 liter all aluminum motor that was promised? Instead it gets the standard issue Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban 5.3. Big mistake...

 

100 more HP to tote the xtra cab, no doubt.

Those tones must be awful smelly.............Methanolic?
