SILVERADO IS RATED AS HAVING THE BEST VALUE IN PICKUP TRUCKS!

It easy to see this when comparing our Trail Boss trucks to, in my opinion, the closest competitor, the Ford F-150 Tremor. To me the Tremor's pricing has gotten out of control and appears to me to be missing a true apples to apples trim level to the LT Trail Boss.

While there are a few conveniences I still think the LT Trail Boss should come with at its price (notably - auto dim driver side and center mirror, memory for power driver seat, and power folding mirrors), the High Equipment trim of the Tremor is more that $10k over the LT Trim even when the Trail Boss is fully loaded and with the 6.2.

Now I will admit that the Tremor high group, in addition to some other niceties (it really is more like an LTZ), comes with the Raptor T-Case and the Torsen Front diff, which is an upgrade for sure, but one that would be a mandatory choice for me given it appears the base Tremor doesn't have 4 Auto (which is a must for me with winter driving and why I didn't/won't even consider a Tundra or Rebel) and even if it does, from my experiences with the regular Ford 4Auto T-Case in the Lariat/Platinum, that transfer case is junk). But 10K is a lot of money, and approaching $80k is ZR2 Bison territory.
 
A base Custom Trail Boss with no options , is a great value. The 2.7 motor is also a 3k discount ! Not a bad motor if you plan not to tow heavy stuff. An LT with a V8 was 10k more. I hate the center console, love a bench seat.
