Pricing for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is unchanged from 2013.

Truck buyers in the market for a new Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra got some good news today as General Motors it announced that base prices for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks will remain unchanged from 2013.

In addition to the prices, the fuel-economy ratings and performance figures for truck siblings also stay the same. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the new 2014 Silverado regular cab will start at $24,585, and pricing for the regular cab GMC Sierra starts at $25,085. Both include a $995 destination freight charge.

The price for the 2014 Silverado regular cab, which starts production this summer, will include the more powerful, more efficient EcoTec3 engine, six-speed automatic transmission, a quieter cab with an all-new interior and four-wheel disc brakes with Duralife rotors as well as a new bed with standard box rail protectors.

The base starting prices for the Silverado crew cab, the first model to launch later this spring, and for the new double cab Silverado, which replaces the extended cab, also will be the same as for the corresponding 2013 models, GM officials said.

Prices for the Silverado double cab version will start at $28,610, while the crew cab version begins at $32,710. Meanwhile, pricing for the Sierra double cab is priced at $29,110 and the crew cab is priced at $33,210.

“The 2014 Silverado is new from hood to hitch,” said Alan Batey, vice president, U.S. sales and service. “When you combine the innovative features of the new Silverado with base pricing equivalent to 2013 models and standard scheduled maintenance, Silverado becomes a great choice for pickup customers, helping them save money when they buy – and when they drive.”

In addition, buyers of any 2014 Silverado will receive a standard scheduled maintenance program for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. Up to four maintenance visits are included in the price of the vehicle, each one of which includes a regularly scheduled oil change, oil filter replacement, tire rotation and multi-point vehicle inspection.

The new 2014 GMC Sierra adds a standard 4.2-inch radio display, a locking tailgate, projector headlamps, a CornerStep rear bumper, cloth seats (compared with vinyl in other trucks), Sierra also will be available later this year with an all-new 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 with even more power, torque and capability than the 5.3-liter. Additional specifications for the 6.2-liter will be released later.

The new 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8, which is expected to power three out of four Silverado 1500s, has an EPA rating of 23 mpg highway for two-wheel-drive models, and 22 miles per gallon highway for four-wheel drive models. That is better than any V-8 competitor, and beats the EPA estimates for the 2013 Ford EcoBoost turbocharged V-6 for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive models.

Silverado’s 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 is SAE certified at 355 horsepower and 383 foot-pounds 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.

The 2014 Silverado and its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 engine, double cab two-wheel drive models equipped with the available max towing package, available later this year, will have towing ratings of up to 11,500 pounds, according to GM.
