Welcome to Argentina: two Chevrolet Silverado 2020 arrived

[Inkriql]

-Description of the load?
-Two Chevrolet Silverado.

-I see. Reason?
-Temporary importation with exhibition motive.

-It was time. Go ahead, welcome to Argentina.
-Thanks, Mr. Gendarme.

This dialogue, probably unlikely, would have occurred in the Andes Mountains, on the border between Argentina and Chile. In a customs warehouse in the province of Mendoza, an Autoblog paparazzo discovered them.

The photos published here were sent to info@autoblog.com.ar by Malbec, paparazzo Mendoza from Autoblog. And they show the arrival of two brand new Chevrolet Silverado in the country.

This is the recent evolution of GM's famous full-size pick-up. According to Malbec, the sender of the shipment was in the name of GM Chile. The recipient was GM Argentina.

The two copies of the Silverado correspond to the LT TrailBoss version. They are equipped with V8 5.3 gasoline engines (355 hp and 518 Nm), with eight-speed automatic transmission, 4 × 4 traction and gearbox.

The probably unlikely dialogue with the Gendarme would have continued like this.

-Why do they come from Chile if these pick-ups are manufactured in the United States?
-Because they are already on sale in Chile and logistics were much simpler from that country, taking into account that they are for exhibition.

- Does this mean that GM Argentina will launch them for sale at some point?
-There was no official announcement yet. But, given the good sales that the Ram always had, which just released the new generation 2500 (read note), and the success of the presale of the Ford F-150 (read note), it was logical that Chevrolet could not Stay out of this phenomenon. Also, let's not forget that because they are commercial vehicles - no matter how luxurious, powerful and exclusive they are - the pick-ups do not pay internal taxes.

-If they are for exhibition, where will they be exhibited then?
-GM Argentina has not announced it yet, but some clues and coordinates have already been published in this section of Autoblog (enter).

-And how much will they cost?
-You ask too many questions, Gendarme. Circle, circle ...
