In creating the Cheyenne, Chevrolet has taken a standard-box Silverado, lowered it, and put it on a diet by replacing the bumpers, tailgate, and inner cargo box with carbon fiber, cutting 200 pounds off the curb weight in the process. Chevrolet also ditched the trailer hitch, the spare tire, the center console, and some sound-deadening material, while stuffing a new 6.2-liter V8 under the hood to replace the 5.3-liter V8. The former is good for 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, an improvement of 65 hp over the 5.3-liter unit. The effort to save weight paid off in the form of a better power-to-weight ratio, and just so that the power doesn't get out of control, Chevrolet fitted the truck with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes.

This looks like it means business. I haven't checked out U.S. performance pick up market lately but if my memory serves me right, Chevy needs a proper muscle truck to take the battle to Dodge and Ford...
