2025 Chevy El Camino SS - 6.2

[Orange Juice]

Looks interesting.

“The 2025 Chevy El Camino is expected to be released in 2025 and will blend classic charm with modern innovation. Key features include:
Familiar lines with modern design: Long, sculpted hood, bold character lines, and LED lighting technology1.
Powerful engine: Improved V6 3.6-liter engine producing up to 330 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque2.
Transmission and drive: Equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive2.”

Looks interesting.

Other than it's someone pipe dream, and looks like a variant of an off the shelf pickup

At least that is based off of what would be a car, closer to El Camino heritage.

 

[BajaMike]

I like it!

I like it!

A 4-door cab is a plus.

This looks more like it the other looks like any other small truck and big meaty tires don't belong on an El Camino.

 

[Mr. C]

Meh. Just make one that looks like a late 60’s early 70’s and throw in all the new electronics and interior and you’d have something.

 

[Big B Hova]

That's a silverado

You’re describing the new bronco

With a 6.2

not really

What 6.2?.the article said v6.....booooo

 

[Aces & Eights]

Fail. To me it appears that they gave it an off road type of look. Not what an El Camino is or should be. Would’ve been better with a lower wider stance with a street car type of style.

All of the above crap, and that's what is the deal breaker?

They were based on the Chevelle body, they never were a truck,

 

[oldman]

This is what it should look like.

Ahhhh gotta love a Holden GTSR Maloo

The sedan version, I love it..,.

Mine has the cast wheels, not the better forged ones from earlier years.

Looks more like a Colorado

A Colorado with a 6.2 could be fun!

Lame!!!!

Yep.
And why does it have off road tires and a high stance? Looks almost 4 wheel drive.
They could call this many names, but looks nothing like any version of el Camino .
El Colorado

Colorado is just a slightly smaller silverado with less power, less towing capacity, same or less fuel mileage, less room, and about the same price tag....

Ute or bust!

 

[stonehenge]

4-door is 2 doors too many!

4-door = ghay


Besides, that ain't no el camino, lame ass 4 door fugly truck or something.

Is rarher have an S-10 Cyclone than this El Wannabe.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Its amazing how many people fall for these AI "promo" videos. Its the same things as the CAT truck that was circulating around a couple months ago. Nothing more than click bait that gets the person sitting in their parent's basement some money from the views and algorithm.

There is not a single credible source backing this at all.

S-10 had better mileage and way cheaper lol

 

[DLC]

Silverado - With new El Camino badges - Lame


Just like a US General tool box w/ Snap On stickers - the stickers don’t make it a Snap on

Nice! Glad to see someone else has one. Here’s mine - built 900hp streetcar

She’s a beauty! Please keep her locked up tight, I get sick of seeing all the stolen and stripped ones.

 

[HBCraig]

I'd rather have my 1970

 

[FreeBird236]

Looks too much like a SXS, I'd rather have what you were expecting.

Guilty! I fell for it like a dumbass. They're all just AI generated bullshit. Cool concept tho, even though they will never be produced

Dude, that is sweet, I know a couple guys with built ones. They are runners.. This is my wife's daily, much more tame.

What kind of times are you running? Full body, full interior? 4000LB car.

 

[PlumLoco]

Serious question here, as I thought the Avalanche was long discontinued. But I saw something today that had the newest generation of front end and the sidepanel area blending cab and bed like the Avalanche and El Camino. Did they resurrect the line? My buddy had one that was getting 25mpg on high speed river trips and rode really nice.

 

[PlumLoco]

I think I found it.

 

[Taboma]

I think I found it.

The F*ckin automotive industry is selling us Anti-EV car guys out. Every new cool design I see is an upscaled RC car for shit's sake. Same with the car lots, filled with EV inventory and only one or two ICE examples. Now, what I don't know is this ---- are there only a small sampling of the gas-burners available because folks are buying out their inventory, or because they're only ordering and stocking EV's ???
So yes, it seems as if nobody is designing any new cool ICE cars, all the design and R&D has gone EV

 

[TPC]

Did GM ever solve the piston wrist pins coming loose and running wild in the 6.2?
Faulty snap rings?

 

[2Driver]

LOL YVEHC … seems legit

i

 

[Chili Palmer]

This is blasphemy - an El Camino is car based this is just a tweaked Silverado. The closest they’d be able to do now would make an El Camaro. But Chevy doesn’t have any rear wheel drive car platforms in their lineup anymore, they’d have to use the Cadillac CT5 as their platform.

This is an obvious AI fake. I saw one like in the vid I posted actually driving around town. It clearly said Silverado on the tailgate.

I only ran it twice as it was built for the streets. Yes untouched stock car. Only heads, cam, blower, fuel system etc. Ran 10.3 at 133 on 20" rubber band wheels and 9.90s at 141 on a radial but Im no drag racer. Mostly 60 - 160 roll racing in Mexico. Super fun car, Im waiting for @jetboatperformance to start that burnout thread he was going to lol

I believe so? Ive added HP to a dozen LS based engines. anywhere from 500-1000hp. Fuel type, tune, maintenance matters. Alot of them are still alive

9.90's is not bad for a full interior drivable street car.

Mine is nowhere near that being stock. But even that, they are a great freeway flyer.
