Chevrolet Silverado 1500

While plenty of pickups out there hang their hat on their looks, the refreshed 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 places looks behind utility; with that being said, it’s still a damn good looking truck. Form and function collide in this rugged pickup, all 8 trims carrying a wide, imposing body and newly revised front fascia, while altering the fine details ever so slightly—like the 2-tone bronze and chrome grille exclusive to the Silverado High Country, with 8 distinct grilles, front fascias, and wheel designs in all. The Silverado 1500’s box provides the first glimpse at the exceptional utility of this Chevy pickup, with a smart design offering up to 20% more cargo volume than the “competition” (we use the term lightly), along with Chevrolet’s Multi-Flex tailgate. Best-in-class bed width and length continue the Silverado’s proud tradition of outdoing the competition, while a spacious and comfortable interior also offers a number of class-leading amenities.

All that utility doesn’t mean much without the muscle to back it up; luckily, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado is more than up to the task. Four powertrain options from a 2.7L Turbo engine to a brawny 6.2L EcoTec3 V8—both with Active Fuel Management—give the 2022 Silverado 1500 up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. For regular heavy-duty hauling, smart money is on the Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-diesel engine with its great fuel efficiency and 460 lb-ft of torque found lower in the powerband. A choice between an 8- or 10-speed automatic transmission further lets you match your Silverado to your needs, with the combination of the advanced 10-speed automatic and Auto Stop/Start technology providing the type of efficiency you didn’t know a truck could offer.

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado offers plenty of brains to go along with all that brawn, with advanced trailering technology like the segment-first Advanced Trailering system with available in-vehicle app providing next level towing assistance. Other segment-firsts like the available Trailer Theft Alert, Electric Parking Brake Hookup Assist, and Brake Gain Memory make towing so simple you’d swear you could do it with your eyes shut—though that’s not recommended. Regular driver assistance features like Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist are still in the mix, while the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system (with built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot) provides added connectivity to your commute via a 13.4-inch touchscreen—with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster providing even more in-depth access to the performance of your pickup.
