Used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale nearAthens, GA

How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 9.51% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,599 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good car?

Generally — the 4.28/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 7.5/10. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

Owners repeatedly praise the Silverado for its powerful engines, smooth rides, and good value for money. The feedback also highlights the 6.2L and Duramax engines, along with positive remarks about fuel efficiency and comfort.

On the downside, the expert review notes that the ZR2 can’t match the power of rivals, the old interior design remains in WT and Custom trims, and Google Built-in isn’t necessarily better than what Chevy used before. That matters most if you want the most polished cabin or the strongest off-road performance-truck credentials.

For you, the Silverado makes the most sense if you want a full-size truck with broad capability, a more modern cabin in the updated trims, and enough tech to feel current. The market also looks reasonably open, with 31.2% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.28/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels reliable, dependable, and trouble-free enough to inspire confidence over time. The expert review also emphasizes that the Silverado’s updated cabin and tech help it feel more settled and polished, which supports the sense that it’s built for long-term use.

If you’re shopping used, that combination suggests the Silverado should be a reasonable ownership bet, but you should still pay close attention to maintenance records and how the truck was used.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are strong but not universal. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re looking at a truck that may have been used for towing, hauling, or off-road driving. Focus on overall condition, cabin wear, and whether the equipment level matches what you expect from the trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The updated interior starts with the LT trim, while WT and Custom still keep the older cabin design. That makes the lower trims the ones to inspect most closely if cabin quality matters to you.
• Powertrain: The truck offers multiple powertrain options, including a standard turbocharged four-cylinder and a turbodiesel inline-six, and the lineup also includes a 6.2-liter V8 in ZR2 form.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard, and blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are available upgrades on lower trims. Teen Driver is included on every Silverado.
• Infotainment: The Silverado uses a 13.4-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Google Built-in, SiriusXM with 360L, connected services, WiFi hotspot capability, and navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The ZR2 returned 16.3 mpg over nearly 130 miles of driving, and its official EPA combined rating is 14 mpg.

Which 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered in 7 trim levels: Work Truck (WT), Custom, LT, LT TrailBoss, ZR2, and High Country.

Here's the short version:

• Work Truck (WT): This is the most basic choice, but it keeps the older interior design, so it makes the most sense only if you want the lowest entry point and can live without the newer cabin updates.
• Custom: Like WT, this trim still uses the older interior design, so it’s best if price matters more than cabin polish or the latest tech.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it gets the new interior, digital instrumentation, and the widescreen infotainment setup that make the 2022 update feel worthwhile.
• LT TrailBoss: If you want a more affordable alternative to the ZR2, this is the smart middle ground; the source specifically points to it as more affordable, more efficient, and nearly as fun when the going gets tough.
• ZR2: Choose this if you want the off-road-focused model with standard 4WD, lifted suspension, 33-inch tires, skid plates, and the most aggressive hardware in the lineup.
• High Country: This is the luxury-oriented choice, and it’s the trim that can add Super Cruise if you want the most advanced highway-driving tech.

For safety-package shoppers, note that Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, while blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are upgrades on lower trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

The market looks moderately favorable if you’re selective and ready to move on a clean, well-priced truck.

• Deal availability: 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,599 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.51% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $34,848, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's resale value?

The current average of $34,848 sits slightly below last year's $38,509.

That price movement suggests the Silverado has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right number. If you shop carefully now, you may have less downside than a buyer who paid closer to last year’s average.

Strong demand can also support resale later, especially for trucks with broad appeal and good owner satisfaction. Well-equipped trims and desirable powertrains should be easier to move than stripped-down examples with the older cabin.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.28/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 safe?

The 2022 Silverado Limited (LTD) got a four-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and earned unimpressive results in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) testing.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all 2022 Silverado models, and it includes the basic driver-assistance and collision-avoidance features you’d expect on a modern truck. Teen Driver is also standard, and lower trims can add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. High Country can add Super Cruise, which brings hands-free driving on approved highways with lane-centering assistance and driver monitoring.

The main caveat is that crash-test data is unavailable for the refreshed 2022 Silverado itself, so you should be cautious about assuming the updated truck improves on the earlier model’s mixed results.

Should I buy a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.51% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.28/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The refreshed cabin and added tech make this year feel much more modern than the previous version.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $31,381, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $34,848 average.
• It’s a broad-appeal full-size truck with a wide range of powertrain choices and straightforward tech.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $38,597, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $34,848 average.
• It adds power upgrades for the optional Duramax diesel and a new ZR2 Bison off-road trim.

The bottom line: If you want the most meaningful update in this generation, the 2022 is the better buy because the interior and tech improvements matter every day. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the value play; if you want the newest off-road and diesel upgrades, the 2023 is the step up.
