Looks like even Death Valley provides no escape from spy photographers.
A heavily camouflaged, diesel-sipping Silverado was photographed at a fueling station there at Death Valley National Park.
Looking at the pictures posted on autoguide.com, it’s plain to see that the truck is getting fueled up on diesel. (You’ll also notice the infamously high fuel prices at the park’s station.) AutoGuide notes that the next generation 1500 “is expected to heavily use aluminum, although another recent set of spy shots confirmed that GM won’t go to aluminum for the bed of the trucks.”
Who knows what’s under the hood. A 2.8-liter Duramax is available for GM’s midsize Colorado and Canyon pickups.
