2022 chevrolet silverado 1500 high country configurations

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

2022 chevrolet silverado 1500 high country configurations

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.
