The 2014 Silverado High Country will expand their Chevrolet portfolio in the premium pickup segment when the vehicle joins the LTZ and Z71 models in the Silverado lineup this coming fall.

Silverado High Country features a unique chrome grille with horizontal chrome bars, halogen projector headlamps, and body-color front and rear bumpers according to a company press release. Unique 20-inch chrome wheels with all-season tires, chrome body side moldings are standard as well.

"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."

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

Standard engine for the new Silverado is the 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8, SAE-certified at 355 horsepower, with class-leading V-8 fuel economy of up to 23 mpg highway. The new 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8 also will be available according to GM

Both engines feature: direct fuel injection, continuously variable valve timing, Active Fuel Management, proving that customers can expect refined power in the new truck. Both engines can switch to four-cylinder mode to save fuel during "light-load driving" according to GM.

The High Country model will offer only a few options due to the high level of standard equipment. Along with the 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8, the truck includes a chrome rear bumper with CornerStep, sunroof, navigation, and a rear-seat entertainment system.

The High Country Premium Package also includes heated steering wheel, adjustable pedals, integrated trailer brake controller, and a driver alert package.
