Chevy Silverado LTZ vs High Country – How do I choose?
Performance and Power
Both the LTZ and High Country come with a 5.3L V8 engine that puts out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of power for everyday driving and tougher jobs. The High Country, however, offers an optional 6.2L V8 for those who want even more performance. Both trims also include a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and solid fuel efficiency.
Exterior Features
While the Silverado LTZ and High Country have a similar overall design, the details make a difference:
- LTZ: Chrome bumpers, grille, and mirror caps for a clean, upscale look. It also comes with 20-inch Sterling Silver wheels and LED headlights with signature daytime running lights.
- High Country: Body-colored bumpers and mirror caps, plus a unique chrome and bronze grille. It also gets upgraded 20-inch machined aluminum wheels and extras like a power-up/down tailgate and chrome recovery hooks.
Interior and Tech
Both trims offer plenty of comfort and modern tech, but the High Country adds a bit more luxury.
- LTZ: Comes with perforated leather-appointed seats, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built-in services makes it easy to stay connected.
- High Country: Upgrades include real open-pore wood trim, custom leather seating, and a premium Bose seven-speaker sound system. It also adds heated rear seats and a universal home remote.
Safety Features
Chevy packs a strong lineup of safety and driver-assist features into both trims.
- LTZ: Includes front and rear park assist, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and a safety alert seat.
- High Country: Adds even more safety tech, like adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking, and a bed view camera.
Price and Value
The High Country is the more expensive of the two trims, reflecting its added luxury and exclusive design touches. The LTZ is a more affordable option while still offering premium features.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you want a well-equipped truck with a premium feel but don’t need all the extras, the LTZ is a great option. If you’re looking for top-of-the-line luxury, more advanced tech, and exclusive styling, the High Country is worth the upgrade.
