Chevy Silverado Black Widow SR Packs 675 HP

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Black Widow SR combines a three-inch drop, 22-inch wheels and an available supercharged V8 producing 675 horsepower.

A Silverado built for the street

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Black Widow SR takes a very different approach to the full-size pickup.

Instead of adding more ground clearance, Fox Factory Vehicles lowers the truck by three inches. The result is a street-focused Silverado with a lower center of gravity and a more aggressive stance.

The package also brings wider performance tires, custom wheels and suspension hardware. It is designed for drivers who want a pickup that spends most of its time on pavement rather than trails.

The Black Widow SR uses a lowered suspension, wide tires and custom 22-inch wheels for a sportier road-focused look.

The suspension uses a Ridetech performance coilover system. Fox Factory says the setup is intended to improve handling, launch control and everyday road manners.

The truck also gets performance rear sway bars and traction bars.

Those changes are especially important when the available V8 sends substantial torque to the rear axle. The goal is to reduce wheel hop during hard launches and keep the truck more controlled.

675 horsepower from a supercharged V8

The standard Black Widow SR can be equipped with a 5.3-liter V8 producing 355 horsepower.

The headline option is much more serious.

Fox Factory offers a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 675 horsepower and 655 lb-ft of torque. The setup uses a Whipple Gen 6 3.0-liter supercharger and an oversized heat exchanger.

That gives the Silverado the kind of power normally associated with high-performance sports cars.

The truck also retains a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Fox Factory says the 675-hp configuration is available through its Black Widow package.

There is one important restriction for some buyers.

Fox Factory lists the supercharged package as 49-state legal and unavailable in California.

The lowered Silverado SR has also been shown on a track, highlighting the road-focused suspension and wider tire package.

The Black Widow SR also keeps the Silverado’s practical side.

Fox Factory lists a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds and a 1,980-pound payload capacity for the truck.

That is a significant part of the package.

The Silverado can therefore combine its lowered street-truck setup with the utility expected from a full-size pickup. The result is not simply a cosmetic conversion.

Wider tires and a lower stance

The exterior changes are equally important.

The Black Widow SR uses 22-inch wheels with high-performance tires. Body-color fender flares provide additional clearance for the wider rubber, while a custom grille and hood vents give the truck a more aggressive appearance.

A performance exhaust system is also part of the package.

The system uses black exhaust tips and adds a more aggressive appearance at the rear. Fox Factory also adds a tailgate spoiler and Black Widow exterior badging.

The result is a Silverado that looks very different from the standard truck.

The Black Widow treatment adds custom bodywork, wheels and exterior details to the Silverado 1500.

The cabin can receive its own upgrades.

Fox Factory offers diamond-perforated leather seats, custom-stitched headrests and additional Black Widow details. The available interior package gives the truck a more upscale character without changing its basic Silverado layout.

The company also says its factory-upfitted vehicles are engineered as complete systems. Safety equipment and factory functions are designed to remain operational after the modifications.

How much does the 675-hp Silverado cost?

The current Fox Factory listing shows a base package price of $82,690, plus a $1,995 delivery charge.

The 675-hp supercharger package adds $16,895. That puts the truck above the $100,000 mark before additional options.

Other upgrades can push the price higher.

Fox Factory lists options such as Brembo brakes for $4,895, a retractable tonneau cover for $2,895 and several premium paint choices.

That makes the Black Widow SR a specialized purchase rather than a conventional Silverado trim.

It is aimed at buyers who want the practicality of a full-size pickup but also want the stance, grip and power of a street-oriented performance vehicle.

Factory-backed support adds another layer

One of the biggest differences between the Black Widow SR and a typical aftermarket build is the level of factory integration.

Fox Factory describes its vehicles as fully engineered packages rather than collections of independent bolt-on parts. The company says its complete builds are tested for safety, performance and compatibility with the truck’s original systems.

Fox Factory also backs its vehicles with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, according to its own engineering information.

The Chevrolet Silverado Black Widow SR therefore takes the familiar full-size pickup formula in a new direction. It combines a lowered suspension, 22-inch wheels and street-focused tuning with an available 675-hp supercharged V8, while preserving substantial towing and payload capability.
