Fox Factory, the company that built its billion-dollar reputation helping trucks survive desert jumps and mountain descents, now wants to nail a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to the asphalt. The new Lowered Silverado Black Widow SR drops the truck three inches, wraps 22-inch wheels in 305-series rubber, and offers a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 making 675 horsepower. Starting price: $84,685. Supercharged? North of $101,000.
This is the same company that makes shock absorbers for Baja 1000 competitors and World Cup downhill mountain bikes. Building a lowered street truck is like a sushi chef opening a steakhouse. But Fox already tested these waters with a lowered Ram 1500 last year, and apparently the market responded.
The base truck runs a 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8, which feels almost quaint. The real draw is the optional supercharged 6.2-liter making 675 horses and 655 pound-feet of torque. Fox reinforced the suspension specifically to cut wheel hop on hard launches, which tells you exactly how they expect owners to drive this thing.
Despite the slammed stance and street-fighter posture, Fox kept the Silverado’s utility intact. Payload holds at 1,980 pounds. Max towing stays at 13,300 pounds.
You could theoretically tow a race car to the dragstrip, then embarrass it with the tow vehicle. The body gets flared fenders to cover that wide rubber, a custom grille, and a cat-back exhaust that Fox describes as “rowdy,” a word that does a lot of lifting in the marketing copy.
Inside, things get predictably lavish. Quilted diamond leather, embossed black widow spider logos on the seats, the full luxury truck treatment. And the options list is where Fox really opens the wallet.
A Brembo brake upgrade runs $4,895. A retractable tonneau cover adds $2,895. Certain paint options climb past $9,000. A fully loaded supercharged model could push well beyond $110,000 before tax.
The math here is interesting. A standard 2026 Silverado 1500 LTZ with the 6.2-liter V-8 starts around $58,000. Fox is charging a $25,000 to $45,000 premium for the drop, the blower, the bodywork, and the branding. For context, that premium alone would buy a nicely equipped Camaro, if Chevy still made one.
Factory support sweetens the deal. The truck can be serviced at any Chevrolet dealership and comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. That separates it from the dozens of aftermarket shops offering similar builds without the dealer network backup. It also removes the headache of voided warranties that plagues anyone who bolts a supercharger onto their own truck.
Fox is reading the market correctly in at least one respect. The lifted truck craze has saturated every suburban parking lot in America, and most of those trucks never touch dirt. A lowered street truck is simply more honest about how these vehicles actually get used.
Whether anyone needs 675 horsepower in a full-size pickup that sits two inches off the deck is a different question. But “need” left the pickup truck conversation about $40,000 ago. Cadillac killed the Escalade EXT years back, and nobody has filled that luxury-performance truck void with anything this aggressive.
Fox is betting there are enough buyers willing to write six-figure checks for a Silverado that launches like a muscle car and corners like something much smaller. Given what people are already spending on trucks they never take off-road, that bet might not be as wild as it sounds.
