Video: Chevy Builds Outdoors-Inspired Suburban Concept to Mirror a Certain Country Artist’s Lifestyle
OutdoorHub Reporters 11.03.17
Country music star Luke Bryan is all about “Huntin’, fishin’, and lovin’ every day,” so it’s only fitting that he and Chevrolet work together in collaboration to build a Chevy Suburban that encompasses that mindset for the 2017 SEMA Show held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Instead of just simply jacking this bad-boy up and slapping a coat of paint on it, let’s just say Bryan and Chevy had other plans for this beast.
Let’s take a look under the hood and see what we’re dealing with here . . .
Accordign t0 The Drive, this 2018 Suburban concept features the standard 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 engine making 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Don’t go entering any drag races, though, the 35-inch off-road tires and significant lift on this baby slow it down a tad.
Chevy also added six piston Brembo brakes to the front, a Baja Designs LED Light bar to the top, as well as a roof rack and running boards to further add to this country machine’s adventure capabilities.
For the finishing touches, Chevy threw an orange mesh grill, a bad-ass ‘Hunter Bronze’ custom paint job, and dark carbon accents – of course, don’t forget the “HFE” decals, too!
As much as we’d love to cruise around in this vehicle, Chevy says they have no plans on producing it for the public.
