Ford has the Limited, Ram has the Limited too, and Chevrolet? High Country is the highest tier for the half-ton pickup from the golden bowtie, and it’s not the cheapest truck out there considering the $54,495 sticker price.
Another downside to the Chevy is the quality of the plastic materials used throughout the cabin. Speaking of which, the cluttered design of the dashboard doesn’t help either, nor does the high-gloss trim on the door panels, steering wheel, and center console.
Car & Driver takes things one step further, slamming the Silverado 1500 High Country in a comparison test against the Ram and Ford. The biggest offender of them all? “This truck shakes and vibrates so much that, bombing down a rough road, we expected to get a call from OnStar asking if we’d been in an accident.”
The motoring magazine’s editors also took a jab at the plastic materials mentioned earlier. Equipped to the brim to the eye-watering sticker price of $70,000, this pickup has plenty to learn from its arch-rivals.
Turning our attention back to how the Silverado 1500 High Country rides on the road, General Motors used “mixed materials” to develop short/long arm suspension up front and carbon-composite second-stage springs for the live-axle rear suspension. The platform is also all new, replacing the K2XX of the Silverado from the 2014 to 2018 model years.
The previous generation is still available to order, but not for long because General Motors will need that production capacity for the T1XX platform by this time next year. The new Silverado is $29,745 for the Work Truck excluding destination, and depending on the trim level, the current generation can be up to $700 cheaper than the old Silverado.
As for the GMC “I Am Not A Chevy” Sierra in 1500 configuration, pricing starts at $35,100 in the United States for the latest model. As opposed to the Silverado, the GMC is available with the versatile yet over-the-top MultiPro tailgate.
