Chevrolet is known for the numerous special editions and options available on its full-size pickup truck, the Silverado 1500. For the 2020 model year, the automaker is adding the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Midnight Edition and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Rally Edition to their lineup.

Available on LT Trail Boss and Custom Trail Boss models, the Midnight Edition truck is off-road ready. It comes with a 2-inch factory suspension lift, the Z71 Off Road Package, Rancho mono-tube shocks, an automatic locking rear differential, and skidplates. The truck rides on 18-inch painted black wheels wrapped in Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires. There's a host of black accents including its Silverado badging, exhaust tips, and off-road assist steps. It sports red recovery hooks.

LT models get high intensity LED headlights with dark bezels and full-curtain signature daytime running lights.

Buyers of the Silverado Custom Trail Boss Midnight Edition can choose between either a 5.3-liter V8 engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission or a 6.2-liter V8 power plant that is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Silverado LT Trail Boss Midnight Edition models are exclusively available with the larger engine.

Hyundai gives hints about what to expect from Santa Cruz truck in new video

The Hyundai Santa Cruz will debut next week but ahead of that, the design department is giving a closer look at the truck in a new video.

We'll see the Hyundai Santa Cruz in full for the first time when it debuts on April 15 but ahead of time, Hyundai is setting the stage for expectations with the model. To help with that, the company released a video today featuring the truck's design manager discussing the inspiration for the utility vehicle.

The quick one-minute video is hosted by Brad Arnold, design manager at Hyundai North America. The Southern California native is the leader of the team that created the Santa Cruz, a project that began years ago. He's joined in the video by Senon Franco, the lead designer at Hyundai North America.

As Arnold explains in the video, the design of the Santa Cruz started with a simple premise: "this is not a typical truck". Based on how Arnold describes the capabilities of the truck, that sounds true. It is meant to "thrive in dense urban environments and the open outdoors". One could argue that no full-size truck on the market today does that. Neither do most of the midsize models, though their sizing is better for that landscape.

Arnold says that the Santa Cruz is "small in size", a call that serves to remind viewers that the Santa Cruz isn't a big truck. It's more similar in size to the forthcoming Ford Maverick, a small truck that slots below the Ranger in Ford's lineup.

However, the company isn't even calling it a truck. The new model is being referred to as the Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle. This sounds a lot like how Kia is referring to the new generation of its Carnival minivan as a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

Arnold says that the design is meant to make the Santa Cruz not look like a truck. Rather, it's supposed to look "like a Santa Cruz". Part of that includes the front end, which looks like a carryover from the fascia of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson.

Among the other secrets Hyundai is giving away ahead of the product's reveal is that there will be more than one "efficient" powertrain, a flexible bed, "cutting-edge" connectivity, and all-wheel drive.
