The Most Expensive Chevy Trucks

by Gabrielle DeSantis

Chevy offers three different types of trucks in 2021. The Chevy Colorado WT starts at $28,295 and offers the LT and Z71 trims. All have either 2WD or 4WD. The Silverado starts at $29,300, and the Silverado Heavy Duty (HD) starts at $35,300. Whatever the budget may be, there’s a Chevy truck that fits it. Any bed fits with any cab, and Chevy offers many different packages including a power package and a safety package. These are the most expensive starting configurations for each Chevy truck.

The 2021 Chevy Colorado Z71 with 4WD, a crew cab, and a long box has two engine choices. The 3.6-liter V6 pairs to an automatic transmission, and produces 308 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque. This brings the price of the truck to $36,495. The second option is a 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-four, which produces just 181 horsepower, but 369 lb-ft of torque. While the horsepower figure is unimpressive, the torque makes hauling much more pleasant.

Chevy offers a $1,850 power package for the V6, which includes a performance air intake system as well as a cat-back performance exhaust. Leather interior sets the buyer back $950, and a safety package including forward collision alert and lane departure warning costs $395. The truck also comes with an integrated trailer brake controller. With a crew cab, long box, and the diesel engine on the Z71 trim, the Colorado costs $43,920.

The most expensive Chevy Silverado has the High Country trim, equipped with 4WD, and the crew cab with the standard bed. This configuration starts at $56,595 when equipped with the 5.3-liter EcoTec V8 and 10-speed automatic transmission. The other two options are a 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel inline-six or a 6.2-liter EcoTec 3 V8. The 6.2-liter sets the truck at $59,090. 

The High Country Deluxe package comes with a power sunroof, adaptive cruise control, and all-weather floor liners for $4,300. There’s a safety package available as well for $1,095. That includes a distance indicator, high beam assist, lane keep assist and forward collision alert. The High Country also has an $850 option for trailering. That has a lower gear ratio, brake controller, a bigger rear axle, automatic locking differential, and heavy-duty suspension.

The Silverado HD series is where Chevy trucks bound for ultimate utility. Chevy offers a 2500 HD and a 3500 HD, which starts at $36,500. The 3500 HD can have either single or dual rear wheels. Its High Country trim with dual wheels comes with a 6.6-liter V8 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and starts at $67,395. The other option is a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 with a 10-speed automatic, starting at $77,145.

The 3500 HD’s High Country Deluxe package comes with safety and technology packages. The technology package includes a rear camera mirror, bed view camera, and HD surround vision. The High Country Deluxe also includes the gooseneck/5th wheel package, which has a hitch platform with tray and bed-mounted 7-pin trailer harness. The High Country Deluxe package costs $2,465.

Chevy trucks have an answer for just about anything. The prices start out reasonably, and each package is priced fairly as well while also being comprehensive. Chevy trucks cover a lot of bases all at once, so a wrong decision can’t really be made. As a recommendation, more power in a truck is always better, so opt for the Silverado over the Colorado.
