Everything You Read About the 2020 Chevy El Camino SS is Fake!

A Super Sport truck in 2020? You must be joking. Well, El Camino used to be a very popular truck. But, nowadays, it wouldn’t last a season even if the redesign modernizes the famous vehicle. The 2020 Chevy El Camino SS is even less likely to happen because of many reasons.

Let’s see – the last edition of the pickup truck was in 1987. But, its Super Sport version didn’t make the last generation. So, it’s been 40 years since the last appearance of this special package. Mid-size trucks wiped el Camino and similar pickups. Now, the only model that comes with the SS badge is a legendary pony car – Chevrolet Camaro. Well, this iconic vehicle still exists thanks to the army of fans.

Finally, there is a price. The 2020 Chevy El Camino SS would be too expensive for most fans. There are mid-size models, big rigs, and heavy-duty mules, ready to work and tow a lot. The only sporty truck in the market is Honda Ridgeline. But, it is not among the best-selling models. The new el Camino SS would face the competition in modern SUVs. Their versatility offers the comfort of a luxury sedan, the performance of a pickup truck, and the safety of a minivan.

2020 Chevy El Camino SS is a Myth that Survives

For many seasons now we can hear rumors about the comeback of the Chevrolet El Camino. It’s been five or more seasons since “GM is considering the return of the legendary truck”. Well, we can say it is not going to happen. Even if it does, the nameplate is not going to have anything with its predecessors. The 2020 Chevy El Camino SS might be a limited edition of some of the existing trucks and nothing more.

Chevrolet’s lineup is pretty crowded. They have mid-size Colorado, which is a very versatile truck with premium and off-road packages. Silverado 1500 is the flagship model. We don’t have to waste words about it. The Heavy-duty lineup expects upgrades. GM is not selling these like full-size Silverado 1500, but this is the most profitable class. Finally, Chevrolet is bringing back the light-duty Kodiak and TopKick. That is not all. General Motors twins is an expression that tells a lot for itself. Most Chevy’s models are appearing rebadged as GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Sierra HD, or GMC Canyon. So, where would 2020 Chevy El Camino SS fit?

We Would Give Another Shot to El Camino SS

The concept of the sporty truck is very attractive. Well, the company has no interest in it, since it wouldn’t make enough profit. But, the performance-oriented pickup would be a refresh for the market. Actually, it could shake things up. There are a lot of fans who can’t accept the truth. On the other hand, there are a lot of collectors who still hunt for a unit that will be part of their collection. The new 2020 Chevy El Camino SS would be another item. A limited edition of these trucks can boost up the price and pay off the development. However, all these rumors are without foundation. Chevrolet is not even bothering to deny them. We all know the comeback is not going to happen.
