Chevy Trucks by Price

There are four main categories of Chevy truck models to choose from, from the light-duty Colorado to the heavy-duty Chevy commercial lineup. Get a brief overview of the Chevy truck prices and models below:

Chevy Colorado | Starting at $29,200 MSRP

Even as the smallest and most affordable Chevy truck, the Chevy Colorado refuses to compromise on capability. Offering more towing and hauling than any standard SUV, and several trims boasting impressive off-roading prowess, the Colorado is a great choice for drivers in need of a recreational light-duty truck for all their Cary adventures.

Chevy Silverado 1500 | Starting at $36,300 MSRP

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of the most popular Chevy truck models on Chapel Hill streets. Versatile enough to handle both work and play, the Silverado comes with several engine, cab, bed, and tech options to make towing and hauling around town a breeze. Drivers who choose the Chevy Silverado 1500 will receive more power than the Colorado at an affordable Chevy truck price.

Chevy Silverado HD | Starting at $41,500 MSRP

For those needing a truck to fit into their commercial fleet, or drivers needing a heavy-duty truck to manage their land or farm, the Chevy Silverado HD models are built to get the job done. The HD models include the Silverado 2500 HD and Silverado 3500 HD, both powerful trucks with different capacities and capabilities so that you can fine-tune the power you need. 

If you need even more performance, or a commercial Chevy truck that can be upfitted to do a specific job, consider browsing the Chevy commercial lineup. Featuring the same rugged engines and capabilities as the HD models, these trucks are built to work as hard as you do around Durham.

Chevy Silverado EV | Price to be Announced

The future of electric pickup trucks is nearly here, with the Chevy Silverado EV! This all-electric Chevy promises to be a powerful, yet fuel-efficient, addition to the Chevy truck models’ lineup, with similar performance and capabilities as the current gas models. Keep up to date with the Silverado EV as more information is released at our Research Hub.

Chevy Trucks Towing Guide

One of the most important features when considering a new Chevy truck is its towing capacity. Knowing whether you can safely tow your favorite boat, trailer, or worksite gear is a crucial point in your purchasing decision. Luckily, the Chevy truck models make this easy by offering impressive towing power across the lineup so Raleigh drivers don’t need to settle. How much can Chevy trucks tow? Find out below.
