When only the strongest truck will cut it, you want to go with one that has a proven track record of reliability with thousands of drivers. That’s exactly what you’ll be getting from the 2022 Chevy Silverado. But why exactly have so many truck drivers chosen the Silverado 1500 to tackle the jobs they need to get done? To give you a better idea of what this truck has to offer, we broke down some of its best features below.

Strength to See the Job Through

No matter which trim level and engine option you choose for your Silverado, you’ll have more than enough strength to get you through your working day. A turbocharged 4-cylinder, two normally aspirated V8s, and the Duramax turbocharged diesel inline-6 power the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Horsepower varies from 277 and 420. The torque varies between 383 and 460 pound-feet. The 4-cylinder has an automated gearbox with eight speeds. The other engines are equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Economic Efficiency

Ready to go beyond the status quo and drive a vehicle that will cut down on your fuel costs? Enter the world of Diesel Silverados now! With their industry-leading fuel efficiency, you’ll never have to worry about your wallet again.

Diesel Silverados have the best fuel efficiency according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In combined city and highway driving, you can get 23-26 mpg with all-season tires (21 mpg with all-terrain tires). The four-cylinder Chevy Silverados get 18-20 mpg on the highway, while the V8 trucks get 14-18 mpg depending on the drivetrain and tires. On trucks with the trailering package, which specifies a more aggressive (numerically higher) rear axle ratio, expect worse fuel efficiency.

Towing and Trailering

Get the best of both worlds with the Silverado. You get a truck that is tough enough to tow and handle heavy loads, while still being fuel-efficient and comfortable. Don’t settle for anything less than the best – with a new Silverado, you’ll never be disappointed!

Customers who wish to tow with a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab will discover that both the 6.2-liter V8 and the Duramax diesel engines have a 13,200-pound towing capacity (12,900 pounds on Duramax-equipped trucks with 4WD).

Smart Truck Tech

Modern trucks integrate the newest technological innovations to help you get the job done and make your drive a bit more convenient, and that’s on full display in the new Silverado.

The base versions of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connection. Chevrolet’s new infotainment system has a 13.4-inch touchscreen display (in landscape configuration), inbuilt Google applications, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity starting at the LT level.

Strong and Safe

You need to feel safe and secure no matter what you’re out doing in your truck, and that’s exactly why Chevrolet designed the Silverado to include all of the latest safety innovations.

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers a standard Chevy Safety Assist package with forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance (LKA).

The 2022 Silverado has optional blind-spot and rear-cross traffic alerts. It automatically identifies and covers your trailer’s length. GM’s Super Cruise technology delivers Level 2+ hands-free, semi-autonomous driving on limited-access highways. All 2022 Silverado trucks include a rear-seat reminder. Visit us at Park Hills Chevrolet today!
