I couldn't find pictures of the Texas Edition listed on Chevrolet's website anywhere but it lists it as a $1,995 option that says it includes:

 

  • Texas Edition badging
  • Chrome mirror caps and chrome door handles with LTZ trim
  • Trailering Package, locking differential and 20" polished-aluminum wheels on LT models
  • 20" chrome wheels and Bose® Sound speakers on LTZ models

 

I have the LTZ model with everything it mentions but lacking the badging because I both lease and drive it in NY and to the best of my knowledge it's an option only avilable if delivered in Texas. I thought it would be a cheap add on to separate mine from others around here without doing anything crazy that would affect my lease terms. There are sellers on eBay and Amazon selling them. Since I have all the equipment anyway, why not?

 

The 2015 Texas Edition's removes 'S I L V E R A D O' from the front driver and passenger side door and replaces it with the emblem. The 2014's have both the Texas edition logo and Silverado spelled out. I think I'd do the 2014 setup so it's an easy remove if I decide not to buyout at the end of my lease and the dealership gives me any crap about it.

 

Does anyone know the proper placement/measurements of where it's to be placed? I can't find a good close up picture. I would want it to look as authentic as possible if I decide to do it.

If I spot one I'll snap a couple myself but for now, here you go.

My 2014 LT ,DC Texas Edition does not have "Silverado" on the doors.

Guess I was mistaken. Maybe they changed it later in the model year.

They Changed it around October 2013. My neighbors Sierra is a Texas Edition and has Sierra and Texas Edition on the doors. His is a 07/13 build. Mine is a 10/13 build and only has the Texas Edition badge on the doors.

"Badges.....we don't need no stinkin' badges!"

 

Leave them off, besides why make your truck look like something it isn't?

Yup, exactly...mine is a Texas Edition LTZ built in August 2013 and I HAD both...at my first oil change noticed they were delivering without "Silverado" and liked the look, so I removed it and only Texas Edition remains. However, mine is unique because I just removed "Silverado" and did not reposition the Texas Edition badge. :chevrolet:

Here's mine before mod...

From your picture it would appear the 'S' in Texas is lined up with the 'O' in Silverado. From what you can remember, is that an accurate statement?

 

Then on the driver's side the 'T' was lined up with the 'S' in Silverado?

FYI, the same package outside of Texas is called the All Star Edition.

 

Sorry bigsapper, according to the Silverado builder there are clearly differences. Plus the All Star Edition is not available on the LTZ trim.

Yup...Take another look at my post above. I found the driver side pic to match the passenger side for you...

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
