HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 авг 2022
- I live in Texas where the pickup truck is king. This is the largest single market for pickups in the States and they are easily the family vehicle of choice for most Texans.
I owned a brand new 2007 Silverado back in the day, and while this 2022 Silverado RST Z71 is much newer and more advanced than my pickup, getting in this one definitely felt like coming home.
New for the 22 model is updated front exterior styling with bigger and bolder running lights and turn signals as well as a vastly updated interior. Google infotainment adorns the large, horizontal color touchscreen and a very nice Z71 slash screen greets you across both the gauge cluster and infotainment when you enter.

I’ve Owned 4 Silverado’s in my lifetime. I just picked up the 2022 LTZ Z71 4WD. By far the smoothest ride I’ve had and the 10 speed trans is awesome. Loving my new truck.
Awesome! Enjoy!!!
Me too! My 2014 Silverado Carolina Edition the transmission gave out so I traded it for 2023 RST! Best truck I’ve ever owned!
That 10 speed transmission wakes up that 5.3 vortec
I thought the ride and 10 spd was great. I do a lot of twisties and canyon passes. Thinking of going with Fox 2.0 or Bilstein shocks.
Same here. Just picked up my 4th Silverado (first one was a 1976), 2023 RST Z71 and I agree, great ride, plenty of power with the 5.3. Really enjoying it. Good luck with yours.
I got:
RST - most value trim
Glacier blue metallic - best color
No Z71 - better fuel efficiency & better on road manners with no lift and no off road tires
2WD - going to use brand new truck for on road only. Not going to abuse it off road. So opted out of 4WD and saved money.
5.3 - 87 octane fuel, more fuel efficient than 6.2. Adequate power
Column shifter - love the mechanical manly feel over an electronic shifter & got six seat configuration with middle seat fold up when required.
Overall I got $8k off MSRP so brought down $55k to $47k
Nice!
Bought a 2022 Silverado LT Z71 with 5.3 v8. Not equipped with active fuel management and I thought I might regret that but this is not the case. My 2011 Silverado LT which I traded in had active fuel management and my mixed driving mpg was 17.3 with my best highway mpg being just over 20 mpg. My new Silverado without fuel management due to chip shortage has been averaging about 18 mpg mixed driving and my highway mpg is in the 21 or 22 range. I have actually reached as high as 25 mpg on pure highway trips. So if you are concerned about chip shortages eliminating active fuel management don't be. Super satisfied with my purchase. Love the comfortable ride, interior refresh is great ,and the light tailgate is awesome compared to the heavy tailgate on my 2011. I do like the RST trim package better and thats the only thing I regret not getting.
Nice!!! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your Z71
I just bought the 2022 Silverado with the 5.3 liter engine and with the RST and Z71 packages. The RST for 2022 comes with 18 inch wheels, no spray on bedliner, and the dynamic fuel management system was not installed on the 2022 models, but it was brought back for 2023. The spray on bedliner and the 20 inch wheels are optional for the RST Z71 packaged trucks. I do like my new truck a lot and am looking forward to driving it for a very long time.
Very nice. Enjoy!!!
I don't think the 2023 has the active fuel management. Pretty sure GM has sworn off of it
About 6 months ago, I walked on the Chevy lot, saw the 2022 Z71 RST, took her for a spin, and it was love at first sight! I knew I had to have it. In a few months, I'll be trading in my 2017 Traverse base model for this truck and shell be my new business vehicle. When you're a bad ass dog trainer, you need a bad ass vehicle (truck)!
Thank you for this video! I learned a lot and can't wait to own one soon.
Enjoy yours when you get it and thanks for watching.
I love my 2021 RST Silverado 5.3 4x4, Z71, bed protection pkg.
Glad that I bought it last year for about $50k otd. MSRP was $52k.
I didnt get a Trail Boss because I will lift it and get bigger tires later on anyway.
Nice!
Just picked up my ZR2 and love it. The horizontal display is so much better than Ford and Fiats. Gas mileage not so good, but hey, it is what it is.
👍🏼
That paint protection is gravel guard and most cars have that. Love this truck so much it’s going to be my next truck.
👍🏼🤘🏼
Thinking of going with this model, except with the duramax. Going to be traveling a lot so figured I would go with the better fuel economy. Great review as always Cory!
Gig em! 👍🏼
The 3.0 Duramax is amazing. I have a 21 LT with the Duramax, one of my favorite powertrains I've ever owned.
Fact about bed holes. I work in a body shop and have seen many aluminum bed holes, tears, and separated seams.
#Facts
Great video. I thought 2022 only came w collar mounted transmission shifters?
Thanks.
Nope. Custom trims get the column mounted shifters.
Wow Peltier in Tyler, I'm down the highway in Jacksonville
Howdy neighbor!
Love these silverados i got the 23 silverado1500 3.0l duramax and I love it
We tested a 2023 Trail Boss with that 3.0L and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!
For 2024 the ZR2 offers the Duramax and I am highly tempted!!!

Just purchased a 22' Duramax z71 rst paid 60 otd
Nice!
Enjoy your ride.
Almost all trucks sent to Alaska don’t have the fuel management system due to chip shortage.
Count that as one good thing from all of this.
Just purchased a 2022 Silverado 1500 RST crew cab Glacier blue. 5.3 10 speed transmission. Ride is smoother than my 2018 was. However I will say I feel the truck is more narrow than my 2018 was. Both had the 40/20/40 front seating. The other thing not standard that should be is the rear armrest and storage. The new interior is nice for looks but materials are still cheap though.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your insights. Enjoy your new truck!
Um, materials are not cheap.
Whats the deal with the paddle shifters?
I know, right?!? RST is the “sporty” one, right? 🤣
Excellent review but the 2.7l does not sip gas.
Comparatively to the 6.2L….
@GTGarageTalk Even the 5.3l is close. Maybe real world is different.
Should I upgrade to bembro brakes on this truck?
Are you driving it like a race car or towing? If not, save your money.
I wish they had kept the “pre-freshed” body with the refreshed interior. The “pre-freshed” front end looks more aggressive to me…the air vents look like bulldog jawls!
Gotta love those bulldog jowls.
Test drive the f150 colt turbo v6 and the 5.3 Chevy. Gotta say that ford might not have the best interior but has a much better power plant, tows more and better mpg.
Have you tried the Tundra yet with its i-Force MAX?
ruclips.net/video/yTRNwNd_yXI/видео.html
that turbo gas mileage will absolutely tank when you try towing with it.
Ford just seems really cheap. I hate their interiors.
No 4wd low?
Auto, 2H, 4H, 4L
What happen to the trailer assist braking system
What do you mean?
@@GTGarageTalk yes the trailer assist breaking to help you brake with heavy loads on trailer
@@98Mral correct. it is part of the trailering package.
Hows ride quality compared to Ford/Ram/Tundra?
As good or better than Ford. Not as good as the coil springs in the Ram or Ford Lightning (which is the best IMO)
We have a Tundra coming in a couple of weeks to test.
@@GTGarageTalk could you put coil spring on a silverado aftermarket? Was wondering, becuase I agree I think the RAM rides the best. But the Silverado has the better curb appeal/ sporty look. Really trying to figure out which one to get. RST Or big horn. Towing is irrelvant, mainly looking from an overall perspective around 60k
@@zachary7564 The Zr2 has the multimatic shocks but very pricey.
When you add together Chevy and GMC they blow away Ford in numbers.
Indeed
Nothing changed including bent lifter issues with 5.3
🫢
That’s a 2023 isn’t it
Nope 2022, but 2023 is essentially the same.
I like it but don't like it. I CANNOT stand all the extra piano black around the cluster and radio, just nasty looking. Glad I have a 21 Duramax I love the thing, even with the outdated interior. lol. but great review overall.
There are cheap ways to fix that. Adhesive skins.
Transmission is trash. Mine is 2019. 60k miles. Gm products are trash. Very sad. Done with American car makers. Don’t make that same mistake I made.
Sorry to hear that. The 10 speed in this was codeveloped with Ford
@@GTGarageTalk that’s even worse news. That supposed to make me or future sicker buyers feel better?? This is my second bad experience with Piss poor products from Chevy. Had a 2016 Silverado. Had an electrical issue that affected everything in the car. Lost power steering and transmission wouldn’t shift out of gear going 70 mph on the highway. Happened multiple times after being “repaired multiple times. And that was also around 60k miles. Shame on me for trusting Chevy again and thinking that I got a lemon. Now I know that it’s just a crappy product made by a crappier company. Good luck to anyone who thinks you’ll get up to 100k miles without having any major issues with anything made by this company. 👋
@@linehandibew6205 sorry you had bad experiences. As an FYI, we have some Toyota Tundra content here on the channel, as well as a Tundra TRD Pro review coming soon.
There’s always that one guy that’s gotta complain. Every single manufacture out there has its own set of issues it’s merely luck of the draw some trucks are flawless some aren’t that goes for every brand. So good luck buying anything new if that’s how you feel. And as mentioned the new silverados have a 10 speed now . Personally I’ve owned chevys for the last 10 years and they have been good to me especially my brand new 2022.5 duramax Silverado best truck I’ve ever owned and with the 100k mile warranty I don’t have a worry in the world about the truck. Hope you have better luck in the future
@@Nscardigno33 yup I’m that guy. Guess both of the trucks I’ve gotten were built on a Friday 😂🤣yours probably a Tuesday or Wednesday. Also my mechanic said if I was to get another Chevy to get a diesel 2500 duramax because it has the Allison transmission. Way more reliable
Drove both of them and the Ford is way better and I own a gmc but I’m going to change to the Ford they are more reliable
Enjoy it. 👍🏼
