2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD High Country: Monroe Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Silverado HD High Country
The High Country is the top trim of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD, starting at $73,900 MSRP on the 2500HD before the $2,795 destination charge. Chevrolet lists a chrome grille, 20-inch polished wheels, a power-up/-down tailgate, Bed View and HD Surround camera views, premium leather seating with an exclusive perforation and stitching pattern, open-pore wood trim, heated front and second-row outboard seats, and Rear Cross Traffic, Front and Rear Park, Trailer Side Blind Zone and Safety Alert. The 6.6L V8 gas engine (401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft) is standard and the Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 is available. Speedway Chevrolet in Monroe, Washington, sells the High Country.
The cabin that sets it apart
Everything mechanical in the HD lineup is available to the High Country, and the difference is the space you sit in. Chevrolet specifies premium leather seating with a pattern exclusive to the trim, open-pore wood and heated seats in the front and for the outboard second-row passengers. On a long drive over Stevens Pass in January, heated rear seats are the kind of detail that gets mentioned afterward. The cabin is the closest an HD gets to a luxury vehicle, and it still has a Durabed and a trailering package behind it.
Cameras and safety for heavy trailers
This trim is also where the camera and alert list gets long. Bed View lets you see the cargo bed from the driver's seat, which helps when you are lining up a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch. HD Surround gives a wider view around the truck. Rear Cross Traffic, Front and Rear Park, Trailer Side Blind Zone and Safety Alert round out the list. For a driver who tows a long trailer around tight spots, from the fairgrounds in Monroe to a campground off US-2, those extra eyes reduce stress. The power-up/-down tailgate is a smaller convenience that you notice when your hands are full.
The Midnight Edition
If the chrome is not your style, Chevrolet offers a High Country Midnight Edition. It is available only in Black and adds a Black Ice grille bar, black skid plate, badging, mirror caps, door handles, hood vent and bumpers, black power-retractable assist steps and 20-inch high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels, with 22-inch black wheels available. The look is dark and imposing, and it suits a buyer who wants the High Country interior without the bright trim outside.
Engine choice and pricing notes
Like every Silverado HD, the High Country uses the 6.6L gas V8 as standard, with the Duramax diesel (470 horsepower, 975 lb-ft) available. Chevrolet's top towing figure of 36,000 lbs belongs to a properly equipped diesel configuration,, and the High Country can be ordered with it. The $73,900 starting MSRP is for the 2500HD, and a 3500HD configured with a dually and the diesel is priced higher, so ask the Speedway Chevrolet team for the exact build. Compared with the ZR2 at $73,500, the High Country costs just $400 more, so the choice often comes down to what you want from the truck's character.
