If you’re having a hard time deciding between the LTZ vs High Country, this guide is here to help. We’ll go over what you can expect to find with each, and then give you our thoughts. Following that, stick around to learn about Ultimate Rides and how we can help you get behind the wheel of one of these trucks in no time.
Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ Standout Features
The LTZ is the second most expensive trim level of this model year, behind the High Country. That means you’ll find a huge list of features in this truck, as it encompasses most of the previous trim level features as well as all the standard features. The standard engine in this and the High Country is a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine, which can reach up to 355 horsepower with 383 lb.-ft. of torque. The LTZ is also available with a 6.2L upgrade, as well as a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel I6 engine. The 6.2L can get you as much as 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, while the turbo-diesel engine offers 277 horsepower with 460 lb.-ft. of torque and a diesel exhaust brake system among other advantages.
This model also includes a set of heated power-folding side mirrors with driver side auto-dimming, an available Intellibeam light system, a 120V power outlet in the bed and a Multi-Flex tailgate. On the inside, you can find another 120V power outlet, along with exciting features like front and rear park assist, a high-definition rear view camera, and the special LTZ Convenience Package. This suite of features includes lane change alert with cross traffic assist, a universal home remote, heated and ventilated front seats and even heating for the rear outboard seats. It helps the LTZ make a name for itself as a premium Silverado trim level.


Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country Highlights
The High Country is a step up in price from the LTZ, and is the most expensive option for the 2021 model year. With that, you can expect to find some really exciting features. It features the same engine options as the LTZ, but comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission rather than an eight-speed. This model also features a two-speed transfer case for enhanced performance.
In terms of standard safety features, the High Country vs LTZ are just about identical. The only difference is that the High Country comes available with a special High Country Deluxe package, which you can ask about. This selection includes lane keep assist with lane departure warning, a safety alert seat, and an adaptive cruise control system. The package also features a power sunroof and 22-inch all season tires.
There are other features you can find standard inside every Silverado 1500 High Country this year, though. That includes perforated leather front and rear seats, a standard wireless charging station for your smartphone, and front and rear carpeted floor mats. One of our favorite features that only the High Country can offer is the premium infotainment system. It includes navigation as well as enhanced voice recognition and Bluetooth streaming for two phones at once.
Our Thoughts on LTZ vs High Country
When it comes to these two truck models, it can be hard to pick a winner. The real thing to measure is if the extra thousands will be worth the features you get. It’s up to each individual consumer to come to their own conclusions. A lot of that will depend on your available budget, as well as what kind of features you’re used to on your previous vehicles. We really do like the features that the High Country has to offer, especially the upgraded transmission and infotainment systems. Whatever you decide between the LTZ vs High Country, count on Ultimate Rides to help you find one of your own.
