Which full-size truck is more your style, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country or LTZ? Both Silverado trim models deliver a long list of luxury features. And they’re also powerful workhorses, making it all the more difficult to choose just one. But let’s take a closer look at how each truck is different. Ultimately, that’s the best way to know which Silverado is right for you.
Price
Both Silverado trim models are luxury-oriented, but the High Country is the top-tier option. Therefore, it has a higher starting price, $61,200. The LTZ, which doesn’t come standard with quite as many high-end features, starts at $55,900.
Body Styles
Here, there’s really no difference between the Silverado 1500 High Country and LTZ. Each truck is available with two different body configurations. The standard model features a crew cabin that’s paired with the short, 5-foot-10-inch bed. Four-wheel-drive models are also available with the crew cabin and the standard 6-foot-7-inch bed.
Powertrain Options
Once again, the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country and LTZ have everything in common. Both come standard with a hefty, 355-horsepower V8 engine. For more power, a bigger, 6.2-liter V8 engine is optional.
Then there’s the Duramax turbo-diesel engine, which blends a very tow-friendly performance with the Silverado’s best EPA ratings. Depending on body style, trucks with this engine can earn up to 26 mpg combined.
- Standard 5.3L Ecotec3 V8 engine (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft of torque)
- Optional 6.2L Ecotec3 V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- Optional Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft)
