The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will start at $24,585. That includes the $995 destination fee. The double-cab model is priced at $28,610 and the crew cab model is priced at $32,710. Just add $500 to get to the price of each corresponding model of the 2014 Sierra.
GM has not yet released information about the base 4.3-liter V-6 or 6.2-liter V-8. The company it expects its new 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine to power three out of four Silverado 1500s.
But a pretty surprising development in that storyline is the 23 mpg highway rating which was recently announced. As GM pointed out in the announcement, that V-8 fuel rating “beats the EPA estimates for the 2013 Ford EcoBoost turbocharged V-6 for both 2wd and 4×4 models” by 1 mpg.
The V-8 will get 22 mpg on the highway in the Silverado and Sierra 4WD models.
In terms of power, the 5.3-liter V-8 is certified at 355 horsepower and 383 pound feet (lb-ft) of torque, “with more than 300 lb-ft of torque available from 2,000 to 5,600 rpm for responsive performance under a broad range of real-world conditions.”
Both the Silverado and Sierra have a maximum payload of 2,102 pounds and a max towing capacity of 11,500 pounds.
