The 2022 Chevy Silverado has grown a little more expensive. That isn’t surprising, considering global supply chain woes and the increasing cost of transporting materials amid oil price spikes. But it is surprising, considering that the truck has been on sale for barely two months.
The 2022 Silverado isn’t technically an entirely new truck. But we’d understand if, seeing one, you thought it was.
Chevrolet has dramatically refreshed the Silverado inside and out. The sheet metal got a few nips and tucks, including a cleaner front fascia with narrower LED headlights. The cabin is wildly improved, with softer-touch materials throughout, a more elegant dashboard, and a big new 13.4-inch central touchscreen handling information and entertainment duties.
Chevy also revealed a new ZR2 off-road trim, with a one-pedal rock-crawling mode, deeper suspension travel, and even reshaped bumpers to improve approach and departure angles.
The reworked truck is so new that the automotive press hasn’t had time to test drive it yet. But it uses the same chassis and engine as the 2021 version. That truck was known as a strong all-around choice with excellent towing capabilities, and we have no reason to doubt the same is true this year.
But Chevrolet is selling it in a time of shortages when dealers have trouble keeping trucks on the lot. That demand, combined with the steadily rising costs of building it, mean price bumps.
