2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD LTZ: Douglaston Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Silverado HD LTZ at a Glance
LTZ starts at $63,300 MSRP before the $2,795 destination charge, and it's the trim where the Silverado HD's technology actually changes rather than just its trim level: a 13.4-inch touchscreen running Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium with Google built-in, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto instead of a cable, and an available Head-Up Display. The standard 401-hp gas V8 and optional 470-hp Duramax diesel carry over from every other trim. LTZ is where most buyers land when they want the full technology suite without going all the way to ZR2's off-road hardware or High Country's top-shelf trim. East Hills Chevrolet of Douglaston has LTZ configurations available on the lot and to order.
The trim where the screen gets bigger and the cable disappears
Every trim below LTZ — WT, Custom, LT — runs an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. LTZ is where that changes: a 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch reconfigurable digital Driver Information Center, running Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 Premium system with Google built-in (real Google Maps, Google Assistant, and compatible apps built into the truck rather than mirrored from a phone). Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both go wireless here too, which sounds minor until you're the one who no longer has to plug in a cable every time you climb into the cab. An available Head-Up Display rounds out the technology jump.
None of that changes what the truck can do under load. The standard 401-hp, 464-lb-ft 6.6-liter gas V8 and the optional 470-hp, 975-lb-ft Duramax Turbo-Diesel are the same two engines offered on every Silverado HD trim, both paired to a 10-speed automatic. LTZ buyers who need the diesel's towing ceiling get it without giving up any of the technology upgrade, and vice versa — the engine and trim decisions are independent of each other.
What buyers say about the dealership
East Hills Chevrolet of Douglaston carries a 4.49-star average across roughly 2,700 Google reviews. connor gilroyc's review captures the kind of deal-making that goes into a higher-trim purchase: "Cody and Jason hooked me up with a new Silverado, got me out of my Ram lease and made concessions on their end to get deal done and keep me happy. Only time I've ever enjoyed working with a dealership. Will definitely be a return customer." Victor Castellanos described a similarly smooth process: "Tyler was amazing! We bought a Silverado from her and she made the whole process so easy! The GSM Joe S was also super helpful. He saved me a few dollars."

Frequently asked questions
What's the main upgrade on LTZ?
The 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto — the biggest technology jump anywhere in the Silverado HD lineup, since everything below LTZ runs a smaller wired-only 8-inch screen.
Is the Duramax diesel included on LTZ, or is it extra?
The Duramax 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel is an option on LTZ, not standard — the standard engine across the whole lineup, LTZ included, is the 401-hp gas V8. Diesel adds cost and Diesel Exhaust Fluid maintenance in exchange for the higher 975 lb-ft torque figure.
How does LTZ compare to High Country?
They share the same 13.4-inch/12.3-inch technology suite. High Country adds a step up in interior materials — premium leather appointments — and unique exterior trim and badging, for roughly $10,300 more than LTZ's starting price.
