TUCSON, ARIZONA — The Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson look like something out of a Coyote vs. Road Runner episode: orange colors, giant boulders parched on rock spires, twisted roads. Beep, beep!
I stomped on the throttle of my ride with my size 15s and the V-8 roared. Hard into a downhill S-turn, the adaptive dampers stiffened to reduce body roll. I flicked my steed left, then right, then went hard on the brakes before exiting the turn on full throttle. Exiting the state park into Tucson’s suburbs, I engaged hands-free driving and let my leather-lathered chariot drive me through thickening weekday traffic.
“Hey, Gemini, change driver temperature to 70 degrees,” I barked to the 16-inch digital display.
Was I driving a Mercedes? Cadillac? Tesla Model S?
Nope. I was behind the wheel of the 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 truck, the new standard for American luxury.
With up to 60 inches of digital displays in front, tasteful interior materials, and more rear-seat room than a limousine, pickup trucks like Silverado have been slowly encroaching on the traditional luxury market for years.
