How much are Chevy trucks going for?

Chevrolet’s truck lineup covers the compact Colorado, the full-size Silverado 1500, the heavy-duty Silverado HD (2500/3500), and the electric Silverado EV. Prices vary widely by model, trim, and options, with base models starting in the low to mid $20,000s for some configurations and top-tier or electric versions climbing into six figures. In short, you’ll find a broad spread depending on what you choose and where you shop.

Prices change with new model years, incentives, and regional differences, so this overview focuses on current starting MSRPs for new pickups in the U.S. as a practical reference. The rest of the article breaks down price ranges, what drives those costs, and how to secure a good deal.

Current price ranges by model

Below are approximate starting prices for new Chevy trucks, listed in MSRPs before destination charges. Actual prices vary by trim, options, region, and dealer incentives.

• Colorado — Starting around $29,000 for the base WT 2WD; higher trims typically begin in the mid-$30,000s and can reach the $40,000s depending on features and cab configuration.


• Silverado 1500 (gas-powered light-duty) — Starting around $38,000; common trim levels push into the $40,000–$60,000 range, with well-equipped or performance-oriented models approaching $70,000–$85,000.


• Silverado 2500HD/3500HD (heavy-duty) — Starting in the low to mid-$40,000s for base configurations; mid-range builds often land in the $60,000s, and high-end rigs with diesels or luxury packages can exceed $70,000–$90,000.


• Silverado EV — Base models start near $39,995 before destination charges; mid-range trims typically run higher, and top configurations or special editions have pushed prices toward the $60,000–$100,000 range, with early First Edition versions around six figures.

Prices above reflect the U.S. market and are subject to change with new model-year introductions, incentives, and dealer pricing. Always verify current MSRP with a local Chevy dealer for the exact configuration you want.

Other price factors and how to shop

Several elements can influence the final out-the-door cost beyond the sticker price. Understanding these can help you negotiate and save.

• Destination charges and handling fees — These are added on top of the MSRP and vary by vehicle and dealer.


• Dealer incentives and rebates — Availability depends on the model year, region, and your eligibility.


• Financing and loan terms — Interest rates and loan length affect total paid over time.


• Trade-in value — Your current vehicle can impact your effective price through a trade-in deal.


• Optional equipment and packages — Safety, technology, orientation packages, and off-road or diesel options can quickly raise the price.


• Taxes, title, and registration — These vary by state and locality and add to the out-the-door cost.

To maximize savings, compare offers from multiple dealers, check Chevrolet’s official incentives page, and consider timing like end-of-month or end-of-year sales when dealers are more motivated to hit targets.

Buying tips: how to land a better price

Armed with price ranges, here are practical steps to secure a competitive deal on a Chevy truck.

• Get quotes from several dealers in your area to compare pricing and incentives.


• Ask about current offers, loyalty programs, GM Advantage, or conquest rebates that could apply to you.


• Negotiate the price before discussing financing or trade-ins to avoid mixed incentives.


• Consider a previously-owned or certified pre-owned Chevy truck if you’re open to it; you may save significantly while still getting warranty coverage.


• Factor in total ownership costs (fuel/electric charging, maintenance, warranties) when evaluating price versus value.

A bit of shopping savvy can shave several thousand dollars off the sticker, depending on timing and availability.

Summary

Chevy’s truck lineup spans affordable base models to high-end and electric configurations, with prices that reflect trim levels, options, and market conditions. Colorado starts in the high $20k–$30k range, Silverado 1500 typically ranges from the high $30k to the mid-$60k zone, HD models push higher, and the Silverado EV can start around $40k but stretch into six-figure territory for certain editions. Always verify current MSRP and incentives with a local dealer, compare multiple offers, and consider total ownership costs to determine the best value for your needs.

What is the cheapest month to buy a truck?

The cheapest months to buy a truck are generally December and November, as dealers offer year-end and holiday discounts to clear out inventory, especially at the end of the quarter. Another good time can be January, after the year-end rush, which is often a slower sales month for dealers. 
End-of-year sales (November and December) 

• Year-end quotas: Dealerships are motivated to meet sales quotas and clear out remaining inventory from the current model year before the new one arrives. 
• Holiday and seasonal incentives: Automakers often roll out special rebates, cash-back offers, and financing deals during this period. 
• End of the month: The end of a month, and particularly the end of the quarter (March, June, September, and December), is a common time for sales staff to offer better deals to meet their personal and dealership targets. 

Post-holiday period (January)

• Slow sales: January is often a slower sales month after the holiday spending, which can put pressure on dealerships to offer deals to stimulate sales. 
• Model year changeover: While the newest models are available, dealers are still motivated to sell the previous year's models to make space. 

Other factors to consider

• Model year changeover: Dealers start receiving the next model year in late summer and early fall (around October). Waiting until the new models arrive, then focusing on the outgoing model year can lead to significant savings. 
• Black Friday and holidays: Many holidays, like Black Friday, are consistently good times for deals on both new and used vehicles. 
• Used trucks: The period between late November and late January is frequently cited as the best time for buying used trucks, according to some analyses.
