2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Overview
When it comes to big trucks like the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, size isn’t the only thing that matters. It’s a physically imposing beast with the brash exterior styling to match, but the heavy-duty pickup truck also offers exceptional capability along with a dizzying array of creature comforts. Inside, the Silverado 2500 sports a versatile interior with multiple cloth and leather upholstery options. Available storage options include a cavernous 24-liter compartment under the Crew Cab’s rear seat and available compartments built into the rear seatback. Tech goodies include your choice of a 7-inch or 8-inch touch screen infotainment system and an available head-up display for more focused driving with fewer distractions.
The Perfect Ride For…
Anyone in search of a tough workhorse. When properly configured, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 proves capable of towing up to 18,510 pounds. The right cab and bed configuration also nets a 4,636-pound maximum payload rating. And speaking of configurations, you can choose between the two-door Regular Cab, four-door Double Cab, and the larger four-door Crew Cab, along with your choice of an 80.2-inch Standard Bed or 96.3-inch Long Bed. All Silverado 2500 models make do with a single-rear-wheel configuration.
Drive and Handling
The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 wouldn’t be a heavy-duty truck without its pair of heavy-duty engine options. A 6.6L gas-powered V8 engine comes standard, pumping out an impressive 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission helps transmit power to the rear wheels or all four wheels on 4x4 models.
Anyone who needs the extra towing muscle will go for the optional 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 engine. Backed by an Allison-made 10-speed automatic transmission, this engine puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. While the gas-powered V8 is more than capable, the Duramax and Allison combo makes towing and hauling heavy loads an effortless affair.
Key Features
Multi-Flex Tailgate
Available on all trims, the Multi-Flex Tailgate combines six different tailgate configurations into one. For instance, you can open it like an ordinary tailgate and lower the inner gate for easier access, or unfold the inner gate further to create a full-width step. The inner gate can also act as a work surface and a platform for second-tier items. Built-in load stops to keep longer items from sliding out of the bed.
Trailering and Towing
The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 lets you put its prodigious towing capacity to good use with the help of several advanced features. With the Advanced Trailering System, you can create your own customized trailer profiles, complete pre-departure checklists, and more via the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system or your mobile device. With up to 15 available camera views, tasks like hitching and backing up your trailer become easier. There’s even an innovative Transparent Trailer view that gives you a clear, unobstructed view of what’s behind you.
Safety Features
The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 isn’t complete without its roster of available safety features. These include Lane Departure Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking – both designed to help you avoid fender-benders. The Safety Alert Seat sends vibrating warnings directly to the driver’s seat, providing an extra measure of safety under a variety of driving conditions. The Silverado 2500 also gets Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert as safety options.
