The 2022 Lineup
The 2022 refresh has seen a redesign of the front end, giving the truck an even sleeker and sturdier look. This is coupled with the option of three new exterior colors, Dark Ash, Sand Dune, and Glacier Blue Metallic, and a revamp of the interior on trims from the LT up.
Torque
The 2022 Silverado Ltd saw the deletion of the V6 engine. As a result, the 2.7l turbo engine became standard on the base level WT and meant that all trims became available with 8 or 10-speed transmission.
Enhancements to the crankshaft and cylinder block casting have meant that this engine now delivers 430 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 20% on previous models. Taken together, these upgrades mean that the Silverado now delivers the highest spec on a base-level engine. And thanks to improvements to the chassis, the 3.0l Duramax diesel engine is now capable of towing up to 13,300 pounds on a RWD,:a boost of over 30% on forerunners.
Trims
While the existing WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country, remain available, Chevrolet’s ninth Silverado trim was unveiled in 2022. With DSSV MultiMatic dampers, steel bumpers, and skid plates among its special features, the ZR2 features the 6.2l V8 engine and has been specifically designed to maximise the truck’s off-roading capacity.
Tech
WIth the upgrades, all trims now come with Chevy Safety Assist as standard. This package of active safety features includes Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Forward Collision Alert. Super Cruise driver assistance technology has also become available on the High Country trim.
Trims with the interior redesign now come with a 12-inch digital gauge cluster and a 13.4-inch touchscreen, with a system that connects to smartphones with Google services, Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
With its assertive styling, debonair interior and even greater range of choices and cutting-edge tech, the new Silverado is certainly an exciting prospect for loyal customers and new fans alike.
