Fox Factory has introduced the Black Widow SR, a lowered street truck based on the Chevrolet Silverado. This vehicle balances high-performance upgrades with utility, targeting drivers who want a customized look without sacrificing standard towing or payload capacity.
Why it matters
The vehicle addresses consumer interest in performance-tuned trucks that prioritize street handling and aesthetic modifications. It allows owners to pursue a sports-truck experience while retaining the functional benefits of a standard light-duty truck chassis.
Base models start at $84,685, while supercharged versions exceed $101,000, both backed by a three-year, 36,000-mile factory warranty. The truck offers a 1,980-pound payload and a 13,300-pound maximum towing capacity.

If you are considering this vehicle, confirm that your home garage height can accommodate the modified suspension profile and vehicle width. You should also verify that your regular maintenance provider or local Chevrolet dealer is equipped to service specialized 22-inch wheels and supercharged engine components.
The takeaway
