The ultimate hunting vehicle?

Jointly created with Realtree (an outdoor clothing company), the model is based on the Silverado 2500 HD and features a Champagne Silver exterior with a custom front bumper, a winch and 35-inch off-road tires.

Inside, the cabin has camouflage accents and Dark Cocoa leather seats with orange stitching.

Silverado Realtree Concept Debuts at SEMA

2500 HD tailored to be the ultimate hunting pickup

LAS VEGAS - Chevrolet has teamed up with outdoor outfitter Realtree to create the ultimate hunter's truck - the Silverado Realtree Concept.

The specially equipped 2012 Silverado 2500 HD will be on display at SEMA Show 2011, November 1-4, in Las Vegas.

Based on the Silverado 2500 crew cab, the Silverado Realtree Concept features a custom Champagne Silver Metallic exterior with Realtree graphics. Inside is Dark Cocoa leather seating with camouflage piping and blaze orange stitching, as well as Realtree AP pattern accents throughout the interior.

Off-road capability of the four-wheel-drive Silverado is enhanced with aggressive 35-inch off-road tires on 18-inch wheels and a custom front bumper with an integrated winch.

A Duramax diesel engine with 397 horsepower (296 kW) and 765 lb.-ft. of torque (1,037 Nm) provides the power for towing and off-road driving, while a custom rear cap securely stores outdoor gear. Power-actuated running boards improve entry and egress.

"This truck is a celebration of the seven-year partnership between Chevrolet and Realtree. It's only natural to combine the dependable, long-lasting Silverado HD with Realtree, the best gear for the outdoors," said Tony Truelove, marketing manager for Chevrolet pickups. "Like all great outdoor gear, the Silverado Realtree Concept is designed to get the job done - and look sharp while doing it."

This could be the dumbest idea yet for SEMA, and this isn't an easy crown to capture. I live in Montana, I work for a large natural resource management agency, and I hunt. Not only is there absolutely no practical use for a camouflaged truck, but not being able to readily see your truck from a distance, in poor weather, could be dangerous. Maybe announcing your redneckness to the world is more important.

I think it's a great idea, what do you mean no practical use? its just a cool design on the outside of a truck. its not going to hide it from the human eye.
