• New crew cab model to compete in premium pickup segment
• Unique exterior appearance, saddle brown interior
• Standard 5.3L V-8 with 355 horsepower, up to 23 mpg highway

SAN ANTONIO – The 2014 Silverado High Country will further broaden Chevrolet’s portfolio in the premium pickup segment when it joins the LTZ and Z71 models in the Silverado lineup this fall.

Silverado High Country is distinguished by a unique chrome grille with horizontal chrome bars, halogen projector headlamps and body-color front and rear bumpers. Unique 20-inch chrome wheels with P275/55R20 all-season tires are standard, as are chrome body side moldings, door handles and mirrors.

Inside, Silverado High Country features an exclusive saddle brown interior, with authentic materials throughout. Features include heated and cooled perforated premium leather front bucket seats with High Country logos on the headrests, Chevrolet MyLink connectivity with an 8-inch touch screen, Bose premium audio and front and rear park assist.

“High Country will be the top model in the Silverado lineup, with a higher level of premium features and materials with a rich, Western themed appearance,” said Maria Rohrer, Silverado marketing director. “But at the same time, High Country is 100-percent Chevy truck, with the capability and dependability customers have relied on for more than 95 years.”

Standard engine for the Silverado High Country is the 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8, SAE-certified at 355 horsepower (250 kW), with class-leading V-8 fuel economy of up to 23 mpg highway (2WD models). The all-new 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8 also will be available. Both engines feature direct fuel injection, Active Fuel Management and continuously variable valve timing, proving the refined power and torque truck customers expect. Both seamlessly switch to four-cylinder mode to save fuel during light-load driving.

Because of the high level of standard equipment, Silverado High Country will offer only a few options. In addition to the 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8, they include a chrome rear bumper with CornerStep, integrated trailer brake controller, sunroof, navigation, and a rear-seat entertainment system as well as a High Country Premium Package which includes heated steering wheel, driver alert package, adjustable pedals and integrated trailer brake controller.

Jesus Christ, what is up with those square fender wells

Not a fan of the double headlight. Reminds me of the Griswald's station wagon.

Still extremely a major fail in the looks department by GM. I'll be sticking with the 2500s until GM screws up their looks. What a shame because I'm sure everything else about them probably makes for a very good truck.

I agree, I was looking forward to a restyle, but there is no way I will buy that.

like the new Ford model better..another 'failed' refresh GM?

[05stram]

Let's see King Rancher - Ford
Longhorn Edition - Dodge
High Country - Chevrolet
Denali - GMC

I like the Longhorn Edition the best - still ahead of the GM offering and it is going on its 4th or 5th year.

Yeah I don't know how someone green lit this one. This Is why ford continues to out sell them with the f150.

[menendez1293]

I kind of like it.

[bw26ss]

Everything looks good, except you have round wheels, with a perfectly squared fender well? WTH

The interior is nice, but the exterior gets a big

[Thrillz]

Huge improvement in the interior but dam that exterior is bland and boring. I'm bias here but the dodge ram is a much better option imo. I'm really disappointed with the new GM trucks,SS sedan and the 2014 camaro refresh.

Not sure how anyone could consider this a refresh when it has completely new bodywork, new interiors, new powertrains, etc.
