As we've mentioned before, GM traditionally uses the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas to test upcoming special editions for cars and pickup trucks. And that's why we want to show you this 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 concept truck that could become a new special edition soon.
The 2018 Silverado 3500 NHRA Safety Safari concept is packed with fire suppression and driver extrication equipment, strobe lighting and first-responder gear, making it ready for life-saving rescue missions at racetracks. But it comes with more than that. Look closely and you'll see that this one-ton hauling machine is also the first 3500 to be dressed in the Midnight Edition special trim package. It offers body-color bumpers, a black-mesh grille and horizontal bars, blackout 22-inch 10-lug wheels, black-bezel headlights and taillights, blackout mirrors, side steps and blackout badging.
The Midnight Edition is currently available on the Silverado 1500 and 2500 as well as the mid-size , but it has not been offered on the 3500 yet. If the concept's reception at the recent 2017 SEMA Show is any indication, we're guessing we'll see a 3500 Midnight Edition as soon as 2018. Whether all the bed gear or LED strobe lighting will be part of the heavy-duty package remains to be seen.
