Is there a Chevy High country under $50K?

According to Chevy's website, the 2016 High Country 2wd starts at $50,935.

They're also missing the F150 Platinum too.

I just bought an F-150 XLT, not a fancy one at all, and the sticker was over 50K. Luckily I didn't pay near that, but it's crazy expensive for a truck.

You're short selling the features if you got an XLT up to over $50k MSRP.

Fair enough.

ETA: I don't see too much of a difference, although the Denali grille insert is a bit much.

I wanted one of these trucks but I didn't want to wait for it so I picked up the Platinum Edition instead (it had just arrived at the dealer that day). I've had it a couple of months now and I can tell you that you will love that Limited.

How so? Mine has the 302A "luxury" package, XLT sport package, towing package and tailgate step. that's it, and it was over $52K on sticker. Crazy. No leather.

I'll take with with the Duramax Diesel. Probably a lot more than $50k unfortunately.

Trucks have gotten expensive.

Leather is basically the only thing you're missing from the higher trim lines. You made it sound like your base XLT was over $50k, which is not close to true.

As expected, the Yeti was unscathed.

I like the front end on the GMC Sierras without the Denali package. Their most recent updates look very nice.

I'm not about to separate myself from $50K or more for a new truck right now, but if I wanted one this year, I'd probably get a Sierra.

Looks good in silver IMO. I'm apparently a boring person though. I like that, for a fairly reasonable price, you can get them with a Duramax diesel, locking diff, 7,000+ lbs towing, and 30 mpg highway in a mid sized package designed to compete with the Hilux overseas.



I think the trucks with the more upright grills and exaggerated fenders are kind of overdoing it. The Silverado, F150, and Tundra are nice vehiciles.....but they look like caricatures of what some marketing person thinks truck people want. It's too much chrome and bulgy sheet metal for me. I like the new Colorado or the previous generation Tacoma much more than those trucks.
