After the first three months of the year, the American car market looked almost the same at the end of last year, with the Ford F-Series on top and the Chevrolet Silverado in hot pursuit.
The best-selling nameplates for the entirety of 2023 were, of course, the Ford F-Series with almost 751k, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado with over 543k vehicles and the Ram pickup trucks with nearly 445k examples. According to the Q1 of 2024 tally, Ford remained on top even though it slipped 10 % with almost 153k units, and Chevrolet's Silverado followed swiftly with a rise of 2.4%, close to 130k. Obviously, the Silverado needs a gentle nudge to surpass its all-time foe, right?
However, there's trouble on the horizon – Ford has updated the best-selling F-150 for the 2024 model year with many thoughtful upgrades, and the Super Duty is an all-new generation. Ram Trucks is also bringing out the deeply refreshed 1500 series with subtle design tweaks and massive technical changes as the V8 departs the brand's most popular series, and instead, Ram relies on the V6 with eTorque, the 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo Hurricane mills, as well as the range-extended Ramcharger plus the all-electric Ram 1500 REV.
Obviously, the easiest way out of the predicament for Chevy would be to put the Silverado through the mid-cycle facelift, too. After all, they have already updated the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban cousins with new styling and features. However, if you ask the rumor mill's imaginative realm of digital car content creators, there's another viable solution. Aside from (finally) launching the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST on the market later this year during the summer season, they could also consider expanding the Silverado family with a reborn Avalanche model.
The idea comes from Jim, a virtual artist better known as jlord8 on social media. He loves messing around with all things CGI from the automotive realm and dreams of a Chevy Avalanche RST revival based on Chevy's current styling. This full-size pickup truck would be the direct successor to the original, built over the course of two generations from 2001 to 2013. The best part is that it wasn't retired so long ago that people have completely forgotten about it.
With it, Chevrolet could have a more stylish option for those who are in a predicament about needing a Silverado workhorse or a Tahoe/Suburban family hauler. It's a quirky idea, indeed, but maybe it's time for Chevy to think outside the box a little bit more if GM wants to surpass Ford and earn the title of America's best-selling nameplate. So, what do you think? Do you like this reborn Chevy Avalanche RST and believe it could succeed in the real world?
