Used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale nearAthens, GA

How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 9.63% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,648 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy number of trucks to compare.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good car?

Generally — 4.28/5 from owners, and 7.5/10 from our experts. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

Drivers consistently praise the Silverado for its powerful engines, smooth ride, and strong value for money. The review summary also points to comfort and fuel efficiency as recurring positives, especially with the 6.2L and Duramax engines.

The trade-offs are worth keeping in mind: 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 the previous setup. Even so, the refreshed cabin and broader tech upgrades make this a stronger fit if you want a full-size truck that feels more modern and still covers work and daily use well.

The market looks reasonably supportive too, with 32.5% 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 also points to dependable performance, with drivers describing the truck as smooth, comfortable, and good for long-term use.

The expert notes reinforce that impression by emphasizing the Silverado’s polished ride and the way its drivetrain and transmission work together smoothly. The available maintenance perk language also helps ownership feel a bit easier.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that condition can vary a lot by trim and use, so a careful inspection matters.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used for towing, off-roading, or heavy daily work. Focus on cabin condition, feature content, and signs that the truck has been used harder than the photos suggest.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The refreshed interior starts with LT and higher models, while WT and Custom keep the older cabin design. That makes the lower trims the ones to scrutinize most closely if you care about interior polish and tech.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes multiple powertrain options, and the standard turbocharged four-cylinder makes more torque. The turbodiesel inline-six also gets a big towing-capacity bump, while the ZR2 uses a standard 6.2-liter V8.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all models, and it includes the basic driver-assistance and collision-avoidance features you’d expect. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are available upgrades on lower trims.
• Infotainment: The Silverado uses a 13.4-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, connected services, WiFi hotspot capability, navigation, and Google Built-in. The new system is larger, but it can be slower and less intuitive than before.
• Fuel efficiency: The ZR2 returned 16.3 mpg in mixed driving, while the 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), LT, Silverado ZR2, High Country, Silverado Limited (LTD), LT TrailBoss, and Custom.

Here's the short version:

• Work Truck (WT): This is the most basic choice, but it keeps the older interior design and misses the refreshed cabin upgrades that start higher up the range. It makes sense only if you want the lowest entry point and can live without the newer interior feel.
• Custom: Like WT, this trim still carries the older interior design, so it doesn’t get the biggest 2022 upgrade. It’s a budget-minded pick if you want Silverado basics without paying for the newer cabin.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it gets the new interior, digital instrumentation, and the widescreen infotainment setup. If you want the refreshed Silverado experience without stretching too far up the lineup, this is the one to target.
• LT TrailBoss: This is the smart alternative if you want a more affordable, more efficient truck that still keeps the new interior and tech. The source specifically points to it as a better-value path than the ZR2 if you don’t need the full off-road image.
• Silverado ZR2: This is the off-road performance model, with standard 4WD, lifted suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires, skid plates, and other hardware aimed at dirt use. It’s the right choice if you want the most rugged Silverado character and can accept its compromises in power and towing.
• High Country: This is the luxury-oriented trim, and it’s the one that can add Super Cruise. If you want the most upscale Silverado experience and hands-free highway driving capability, this is the trim to watch.
• Silverado Limited (LTD): This is the carryover version from the first half of the model year, not the refreshed truck. It’s worth considering only if pricing or availability makes it especially attractive.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, but blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert remain upgrades on lower trims.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,648 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.63% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $34,754, 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 $34,754 sits slightly below last year's $38,455.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favorable point, but it also suggests the truck has already absorbed some depreciation. For a future seller, that means resale value will depend heavily on trim, condition, and how well the truck has been maintained.

Higher-demand versions with the refreshed interior and stronger equipment should be easier to move than older-feeling lower trims. Trucks with cleaner histories and desirable features should also hold buyer interest better than stripped or heavily used examples.

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. Teen Driver is also standard, and blind-spot monitoring plus rear cross-traffic alert are available upgrades on lower trims.

If you want the most advanced setup, High Country can add Super Cruise, which brings hands-free highway driving capability when conditions allow. The main caveat is that crash-test data for the refreshed 2022 Silverado itself is unavailable, so you’re partly relying on the carryover model’s 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:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.63% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.28/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The refreshed interior starts with LT and higher trims, making this the year the Silverado feels meaningfully more modern.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $31,340, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $34,754 average.
• It offers broad appeal with multiple powertrains and straightforward tech.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $38,516, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $34,754 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 best balance of updated cabin design, tech, and market pricing, the 2022 is the strongest all-around pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 can still make sense; if you want the newest off-road and diesel upgrades, the 2023 is the step up to compare.
