Everybody knows the feeling of excellent customer service. Maybe you’ve experienced it at a five-star hotel or with a first-class airline ticket. It almost seems like someone read your mind and anticipated your needs. Some mastermind walked through every step of the experience you were going to have, identified the inconveniences and hiccups, and fixed them before they could even become a problem. That’s the feeling you get when you drive the Silverado 1500 High Country. No detail is overlooked in this luxury trim of Chevy’s full-size pickup. Almost any issue is eradicated before it can even begin, thanks to the thoughtful and brilliant details found throughout this truck.
Any driver looking for a Chevy Silverado for sale and who only accepts the best of the best should check out the High Country trim. We have full confidence that even our most demanding and discerning customers will be impressed with it. We never stop marveling at all of the ways the minds at Chevy thought to enhance the driver experience. Here are five reasons you should consider the High Country trim of the Chevy Silverado 1500 when you visit us at Parkway Chevrolet.
1 – A Living Room-Like Interior
The interior of the High Country resembles an important politician’s private office. It has genuine wood trim throughout, like over the door handles, besides the gear shift, and above the glove compartment. It also has real leather seating surfaces and chrome detailing around the cup holders, along the dashboard, and in other eye-catching places. All of this attention to detail creates a cabin that looks and feels undeniably upscale. It’s the perfect space to slide into after a long day of work on a job site.
The Silverado even boasts a center console filled with surprises, like reconfigurable cup holders so you and your passenger can keep your beverages just where you want them, and a cell phone storage compartment for storing this precious device. Plus, it has power cord management to keep the area tidy and wireless charging to cut the cord completely. The center console has a removable storage tray for odds and ends and even has file holder capacity, so professionals can organize and store important documents in their trucks. You’d expect these types of details in the armrest of an expensive sectional sofa, and that’s what makes the High Country’s interior so welcoming.
2 – Unbeatable Climate Control
Achieving the perfect temperature, head to toe, is easy in the Silverado High Country. It not only has front-row heated seats with three levels of warmth––you can program the seats to pre-heat before you even get in the vehicle. That means no seconds are lost between coming in from the unforgiving cold weather and being instantly cozy in your truck. The High Country also has a heated steering wheel to loosen up your fingers after a long day out in the cold. We cannot recommend the High Country enough based on these features alone.
As for hot Texas summer days, the Silverado High Country also boasts ventilated driver and front passenger seats to provide a nice, cool breeze when the sweat begins to drip. Of course, this is in addition to dual-zone automatic climate control, with knobs that show your temperature settings on inset digital displays. As you can see, when we say that Chevrolet thought of everything in designing the High Country, we mean it.
3 – Impactful Touches in the Bed Area
If you load and unload your truck bed often, you’ll appreciate the automatic up/down tailgate. You can activate it using your keyfob, a button right on the tailgate, or a control on the instrument panel inside the truck. This is quite convenient when your hands are too full to manually drop the tailgate. Chevy also knows that hard work takes place even when the sun isn’t in the sky. A long day could mean hitching your trailer in the dark, but luckily, the Silverado High Country boasts hitch area lighting to illuminate your work in this critical area.
4 – Trailer with More Confidence
Many drivers have already come to love the available Super Cruise feature from Chevrolet. It offers hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of compatible roads across North America, including Highway 249 here in Tomball. Now, on the Silverado 1500 High Country, you can get Super Cruise with trailering. This enhances the capabilities of Super Cruise to account for a trailer, adjusting important factors like braking distance.
It also has Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, which extends the blind zone monitoring area to account for a trailer. This will notify you via side mirror alerts if a vehicle is detected in the blind zone of your truck or trailer, so you can avoid collisions due to poorly-timed lane changes. When you have a trailer hitched to your vehicle, you have a lot more to monitor and control. The High Country is built to consider the specific struggles of trailering and give you more peace of mind.
5 – Three Powerful Engines
You’re going to get three powerful engine options in the High Country: the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. They all come with 10-speed transmission and electronic precision shift. For those unfamiliar with electronic precision shift, it works a little differently than a standard mechanical gear shifter. You will have a park button on top of the shift lever and paddle shifters behind the steering wheel for manual gear changes, giving you more control over your truck when desired.
The standard 5.3L V8 engine is a capable option with its 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. However, if you want the maximum horsepower available for the High Country, you can opt for the 6.2L V8 and enjoy 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Finally, there is the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. With an incredible 495 lb-ft of torque, it is up for the challenge of your toughest trailering and hauling jobs.
The High Country Is All Class
We always get excited to walk a driver through the features of the Silverado High Country. We’d be lying if we didn’t say we heard a lot of “Woahs!” and “Wows!” This luxurious trim has features that fix problems you didn’t even know you had. Maybe you learned to live with a fogged-up rear-view window, but now you don’t have to. Perhaps you thought accepting freezing cold seats was just a part of life. Not in the Silverado High Country. This trim was designed to eliminate driver inconveniences and nuisances.
We will warn you of one thing: once you experience the High Country, you can’t go back. It introduces you to a level of luxury and comfort that you can get used to quickly. Luckily, it’s still a Silverado, meaning it’s still a powerful truck with impressive capabilities. Even if you want to treat yourself to genuine wood trim, reconfigurable cup holders, and ventilated seats, you can still have a truck that’s ready for rugged work environments and tough projects. You’ll just instantly forget about your hard day the moment you slide into that living room-like interior.
