The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 marks a landmark year for Chevy's flagship full-size pickup, with a comprehensive mid-cycle refresh that overhauled its technology, cabin, and off-road capability.
Note: Chevrolet briefly produced the carryover Silverado 1500 Limited alongside the fully refreshed 2022 model. This guide covers the refreshed 2022 lineup.
Updates for the refreshed 2022 Silverado include a new interior design on LT trims and above, built around a 13.4-inch horizontal infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch configurable digital driver display.
