2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ: Monroe Buyers Guide

2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ full-size pickup at Speedway Chevrolet in Monroe, WA

Quick Answer: 2026 Silverado 1500 LTZ

The LTZ is the Silverado's first premium step, starting at $58,000 MSRP plus the $2,795 destination charge. Chevrolet lists front perforated leather-appointed seating, 20-inch painted aluminum wheels, the 13.4-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch driver display, an available eight-camera system, and Chevy Safety plus additional advanced safety technologies. The 5.3L V8 (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft) is standard; the 6.2L V8 (4x4) and the 3.0L Duramax diesel are available.

Leather and a V8, without the High Country price

The LTZ is where a Silverado stops being a truck you decorate and becomes one you sit in on purpose. The front seats are perforated leather-appointed, the chrome shows up on the grille and trim, and the standard engine is the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 rather than the four-cylinder that starts the rest of the lineup. Chevrolet calls it premium style and capability, which is brochure language, though the seats and the engine do back it up. You still get the big screens from the LT, and you pay $5,200 less than the High Country, which is the trim that adds wood trim and the option of Super Cruise.

The 5.3L, and the two engines above and beside it

The standard 5.3L V8 makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft with a 10-speed automatic, and the EPA rates it at 16/20/17 mpg city/highway/combined in rear-wheel drive and 15/19/17 in 4WD. If you want more, the 6.2L V8 (420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft; 15/20/17 in 4WD, premium fuel per the EPA) is available on 4x4 LTZs. If you want to spend less at the pump, the 3.0L Duramax diesel (305 horsepower, 495 lb-ft) is available too, rated 23/28/25 in rear-wheel drive and 22/25/23 in 4WD. The sticker on the truck tells you which one it carries, because trims in stock vary.

Long drives, towing and cameras

Seats and screens matter more the longer your drive is, and people living in Monroe tend to have long ones: down 522 to Bothell or Woodinville, over the trestle on US-2 toward Everett, or up the Skykomish valley to the mountains. The LTZ makes those hours easier with leather-appointed front seats and a driver display you can set up the way you like. For towing, the camera technology Chevrolet advertises with up to 14 camera views can help when you're hitching or backing a boat toward a ramp at Lake Stevens. Chevrolet's towing range for the Silverado 1500 is 8,700 to 13,300 lbs, and your exact rating depends on the engine and equipment on the truck you buy.

Deciding on the LTZ

The LTZ is a good place to stop if you want leather and a V8 as standard but not the full luxury package. Compare it with the LT, the LT Trail Boss (which costs $2,000 more) and the High Country, then look at the current Silverado 1500 inventory at Speedway Chevrolet.
