We won’t hide it, when we imagine ourselves dreaming about our next vehicle, we imagine it very well equipped so that we can live excellent moments aboard it.
With pickups, this was less the case in the past, because we were mainly looking for capabilities. These are of course present in today’s models, but they are no longer enough to differentiate a brand. That’s why, for the past few years, every manufacturer in the segment has been coming up with versions that are just as luxurious as the others. The goal is to impress the gallery.
At Chevrolet, we won’t lie to you, we were impressed with the High Country variant of the new generation model. However, we were doubly impressed with its features.
The big luxury
With the High Country model of the Chevrolet Silverado, you’re getting your hands on nothing less than luxury. This is evident when you climb aboard, as you sit on high-quality leather seats not usually found in a full-size pickup. Then, if you let your fingers roam the interior, you’ll notice that the leather is enhanced by the presence of high quality stitching.
Of course, there are plenty of adjustments for these seats and the driving position is perfect.
Once you’re behind the wheel, you can also tell you’re somewhere else by the open-port wood trim on the dashboard. I don’t need to tell you how much this adds to the nobility of the interior. Add to that the impeccable assembly quality and you realize that you are on board a product of great luxury.
The equipment
Of course, all this quality would be futile without the equipment worthy of the name. There’s nothing to worry about here, because the Chevrolet Silverado High Country has everything you need, starting with a complete technological package. That starts with a 13.4-inch screen in the center console, which houses one of the easiest-to-use multimedia systems in the industry. This of course offers compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto apps, but it offers wireless connectivity with them. Also, there’s no need to use a wire to charge your cell phone. And once you’re plugged in and settled in, you can enjoy your favorite rooms in peace thanks to the high-quality Bose sound system. The system hides seven speakers throughout the cabin.
An interesting detail is the sliding window that separates the cabin from the bed, which is electrically operated in a High Country version. It is also possible to enjoy a sunroof with this model. When we say that nothing is missing…
Under the hood
Finally, one of the things that goes unnoticed and that is interesting with the Chevrolet Silverado High Country is the fact that you have the choice between two engines under the hood. You’re not forced into one powertrain. If you want the full package, you can opt for the 6.2-liter V8 and its 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. That’s your decision.
However, if you want a very powerful engine with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, but a little more economical at the pump, you can also take advantage of the 5.3-liter V8 that comes standard with this model.
But that’s not all. If it’s the diesel powertrain you’re after, you can opt for the 3.0-liter inline-6 (turbo). With 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, towing has never been easier.
Choice like never before, unmatched quality and equipment to spare, that’s what you get with a High Country version of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado.
Powertrain Choice
What’s better than having a little choice? That’s what you get with the High Country version of the Chevrolet Silverado. As standard, the vehicle is served with the 5.3-liter engine, the most economical V8 block in the class. If its 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque are to your liking, you’ll be pleased. If you want more, you can opt for the 6.2-liter V8, a block that offers 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
