Review
Full-size pickup trucks are reserved for brand loyalists, and the 2022 Chevy Silverado is for the supporters (and lovers) of all things heavy duty. Recently, the Ford F-150 has been remodeled and now offers the section’s only hybrid trim.
The Ram 1500 may have the high caliber ride, but the 2022 Silverado comes back with a modern cabin in addition to an original self-driving feature that’s compatible with a trailer.
The Chevy's plethora of motor choices is as rugged as ever, from the powerful turbocharged four to the torque-powered 6-cylinder petrol to the hardy 6.2-liter V8.
Furthermore, its capacity for towing can hit an astonishing 13,300lbs and comes with many technical trailer assists.
What's Expected for 2022?
Chevy has made many alterations to the Silverado for 2022. All models now possess modified fronts, however, the LT trim and up are the only ones in possession of a brand new interior composition. This, blended with upper-class cabin materials and a more present-day design, makes them stand out from the rest.
Moreover, these trims have a 12.3-inch virtual gauge troupe with a large 13.4-inch touchscreen docutainment system.
All Silverados come standard with high-functioning safety properties. Additionally, the modern High Country trim comes with Super Cruise – GM's no-hands riding tech.
Cost and Which Trim to Purchase
The Work Truck (base-level), as well as the Custom models, are great for those in the trades or who are on a strict budget. The LT trim is where the more luxuriant interior can be found. We'd also tailor our Silverado with the additive of the crew cab and traditional-length bed for max cargo and rider capacity.
On the low end – starting with the Work Truck base level – the price is a cool $30,095. The LT, however, is where luxury is emphasized. And that is reflected in the price at $40,920. And on the upper end – with the High Country trim – the cost is $56,345.
Motor, Performance, and Transmission
A sweep of motors—together with a supercharged 4-cylinder, two V8s, and a Duramax petrol 3.0-liter inline-six—communicates that there's no job or task that a Silverado 1500 can’t manage. From the two eight-cylinder motors, the 420 hp 6.2-liter is the most high-speed, pushing the High Country to 60mph in less than 6 seconds. In contrast, the tinier 355 hp 5.3-liter requires a little over 6 seconds.
The supercharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder is now loaded with 420pf of torque, which can assist with jobs that require towing. The petrol-charged Silverado shocked us with the motor’s effortless functionality. Each variant of the Silverado felt much more small-scale than its size insinuated.
Handling on the pickup is exceptionally agile, and the brakes give a robust and seamless reaction. Looking for a strong half-ton Silverado? Then you will truly love the Trail Boss trim. It has a 2.0-inch lift, incredible tires, and other traits that make the whole ride an enjoyable experience.
Capacity for Towing and Payload
A Maximal towing load of 13,300lbs places this half-ton Silverado as a powerful hauler. It thumps the Ram 1500's max tow ranking by more than 500lbs. Chevy's top tow rate is attainable with the petrol engine as well as the 6.2-liter V-8, but the 5.3-liter variant can still handle as much as 11,500lbs.
Trims possessing the supercharged four-cylinder have the capacity to haul up to an impressive 9500lbs. The Chevy truck’s powertrains aren’t as important when it comes to payload, which goes from 1870 to about 2280lbs.
Real-World MPG and Fuel Economy
The Silverado 1500 provides an assortment of powertrain options that are more structured than others. The non-compulsory petrol is the most economical, with EPA evaluations of as much as 23 mpg and 33 mpg within the city. And with AWD, its freeway ranking falls to 26 mpg.
But, the gas-employing turbo-four with AWD is classed at 20 mpg within the city and 22 on the freeway. The economical 5.3-liter V-8, AWD powertrain is classed at 16 mpg within the city and 22 mpg while on the freeway; our real-world assessment unveiled that it was more orderly than the Silverado's small-scale motor, the supercharged four-cylinder.
Interior, Cargo, and Comfort
From the Work Truck trim up to the opulent High Country, the Silverado can be produced in many ways. Base trims provide nothing but the absolute bare necessities, including manual front seats, windows, and locks. But, starting with the LT model, the cabin is progressively elegant because of an ultramodern dashboard design that boasts a 12.3-inch virtual gauge troupe and a big center touch panel.
The interior of the High Country is quite alluring with its leather cushioning and handcrafted joinery. Furthermore, the crew cab provides a spacious back seat with voluminous headroom.
Infotainment and Connectedness
All Silverado 1500s are outfitted with touchscreen infotainment systems that are compatible with mobile hotspots, Android Auto, as well as Apple CarPlay. Additionally, the buttons and knobs make connecting with other systems seamless.
The LT trim and up sports a parallel 13.4-inch touch panel with useful attributes like Amazon Alexa incorporation, Google-powered voice assistant, in addition to wireless Apple CarPlay, and much more.
