Default Chevy copied my idea!!!

they just made it a Diesel


pretty cool IMO





Modern diesel-powered trucks are obliterating the stodgy, dirty image created by diesels of yesteryear. Powered by the acclaimed 6.6L Duramax, this short-box, four-wheel-drive 2500 Silverado hits the road with more than 700 lb.-ft. of torque. The results are impressive and match the heavy-duty character of this Chevrolet.

Intercooler added to turbocharging system
Improved engine breathing with new air box and massive exhaust system
Allison heavy-transmission utilizes reprogrammed shift schedules
A 11.5-inch rear axle assembly handles the additional power from the drivetrain
Grill and hood from the 2500 Silverado HD
Suspension lowered, and custom wheels and tires fill wheel wells
Customfour-piece tonneau cover protects the short box and its cargo while allowing gooseneck trailering with removal of the center panel.
Integrated towing package features a folding mounting ball, brake controller and auxiliary gauges
Custom trim pieces for instrument cluster and doors

Those wheels look like they belong on an H2 but I still like it, 700 lb/ft's , thats more than the new Dodges?
