Fox Factory’s new Chevy supertruck has app-adjusted suspension

Suspension specialist Fox Factory has created an incredible limited-edition 700hp Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck.

The Fox Factory Truck promises huge performance, both on the road and over rough terrain, thanks to the latest in suspension technology.

This includes the ability to adjust shock absorber settings from inside the Chevrolet Silverado, and also refine them by using a smartphone app.

Suspension via smartphone

Fox’s Live Valve suspension dampers have become renowned as the setup of choice for off-road performance. They appear as standard on ultra-capable trucks such as the Ford F-150 Raptor. 

The ultimate Chevy Silverado uses Fox Factory’s latest 3.2 Factory Race Series Live Valve shock absorbers. These are combined with new technology from software company Valtech, which allows adjustment of the suspension settings via the Fox smartphone app. 

Drivers can create bespoke suspension settings to suit different surfaces, along with viewing data and telemetry from previous drives. The app can receive over-the-air software updates, too.   

Inside the Silverado is a dedicated switch panel to tweak the suspension on the move. It can swap instantly between modes as needed.

Serious off-road performance

Trick suspension is only one part of the enhancements for the Fox Factory Silverado. Its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 produces a more-than-healthy 700hp, with a Borla stainless steel exhaust fitted for good measure. 

There is also the extensive use of lightweight carbon material for the bodywork, special BF Goodrich rubber on 17-inch wheels, plus 60,000 lumens of forward-facing LED lighting.

On the inside, you will find custom orange stitched two-tone leather seats with Alcantara suede inserts. The Chevy has steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, too. 

Fox is taking expressions of interest for the truck now, with a hefty asking price of $209,999 (£162,000). This does include a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty, at least.
