Specialty trucks dedicated to volunteer first
responders and ultimate survival
DALLAS – Chevrolet is using
the 2014 Silverado full-size pickup to explore the extremes of preparedness
with the Volunteer Firefighter and Black Ops concepts shown publicly for the
first time Friday at the State Fair of Texas.
Chevrolet
developed the Silverado Z71 Volunteer Firefighter concept truck, which
honors the service of grassroots first responders, with input from the National
Volunteer Fire Council. The concept vehicle features a full complement of
rescue equipment incorporated on a new Silverado Double Cab equipped with the
Z71 Off Road suspension.
The
sinister-looking Black Ops concept is based on the Silverado Crew Cab
4x4, building on its strength, performance and safety with features designed to
turn the wasteland into an oasis, including custom-fabricated lower body armor
and a lockable, bed-mounted Truck Vault storage unit. It holds a solar power
pack, a pair of gas masks, gloves, military First Aid Kit, folding shovel and
rope.
