What are the Silverado trim levels?
The Silverado lineup is organized into seven main trims spanning from a practical Work Truck to a premium High Country. The core trims are WT (Work Truck), Custom, LT, LT Trail Boss, RST, LTZ, and High Country, with availability varying by year and region and optional off-road or luxury packages.
How the trim ladder works
Chevrolet structures the Silverado trims to progressively add features, technology, and interior comfort, while also offering off-road and luxury variants. The exact lineup can shift by model year, market, and cab/bed configuration, so it’s wise to check current Chevrolet guides for your region.
