2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is available in an astounding nine trims: Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country. Starting at the base WT, you'll find black bumpers, a blacked-out Chevrolet graphic grille, and a dozen in-bed tie-downs. The Custom trim rolls down the road on Bright Silver 20-inch aluminum wheels and comes with LED taillights. A 2-inch suspension lift and high-gloss 18-inch black wheels await you on both the LT and Custom Trail Boss.

In addition, the LT sits atop 17-inch Bright Silver wheels and adds a chrome center grille bar and LED headlights. Upgrading to the RST adds bed lighting and a center grille body-color bar. Opting for the LTZ adds features such as high-intensity LED headlights and a power liftgate. Lastly, the premium High Country features upgrades such as a unique grille with a two-tone bronze and chrome finish and 20-inch machined-face wheels.

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has four engines, depending on the trim you pick. A 2.7-liter turbocharged engine is the standard engine of choice for the WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, and RST and is coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This combo puts out 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.

For the LTZ trim, the standard engine is the ever-popular 5.3-liter EcoTec3 engine, churning out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The Custom Trail Boss offers a beefed-up 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine that cranks out 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Last but not least is the optional Duramax turbo-diesel engine producing 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.

Rear-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain on most trims, with all trims offering four-wheel drive as an option to handle those bigger tasks and rougher terrain. With a properly equipped Silverado 1500, you can pull over 13,000 pounds. The StabiliTrak electronic stability system with traction control helps make sure you stay in control when your car loses its grip. If you want to head off the beaten path, opt for the off-road-ready ZR2, which adds multimatic DSSV dampers, a high-approach bumper, and a front/rear electronic locking differential.

An advanced infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless phone connectivity are among the interior features offered for the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Optional features include a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and luxurious leather upholstery.

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has many standard features, including automatic emergency braking, an advanced airbag system, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision alert.
