2022 Chevy Silverado Refresh Caught Testing In Regular Cab Guise
68Sponsored Links
The recent announcement of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 included a number of noteworthy changes and updates for the pickup, including the addition of the new Multi-Flex tailgate, which operates exactly like the MultiPro tailgate offered on the GMC Sierra, and the addition of the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B engine option for Regular Cab Long Box models. Now, however, we’re looking to the future with the 2022 Chevy Silverado refresh, which was recently spotted undergoing some real-world testing.
This particular model is the Regular Cab, which appears to be in Work Truck trim. Outside, we see that the door handles and sideview mirror caps are finished in black, while the wheels are the 17-inch Bright Silver painted aluminum rollers (RPO code Q5U) currently offered as an available option on the Work Truck, and equipped as standard on the LT trim level.
The upcoming 2022 Chevy Silverado refresh is slated to usher in a significant refresh, as GM Authority reported previously. That includes a redesigned front fascia, which can be seen on this prototype model covered up in heavy camouflage. This regular cab model also comes equipped with placeholder headlamps, similar to the 2022 GMC Sierra pickup prototype we covered yesterday.
Further updates include new front fenders, a redesigned box and rear end, and new tail lamps.
Although the 2022 Chevy Silverado refresh will include a good number of exterior updates, the biggest changes will be found in the cabin space, where the pickup will adopt an interior layout similar to that of the all-new 2021 Chevy Tahoe and 2021 Chevy Suburban SUVs. Some critics have pointed to the interior design of the fourth-generation Silverado 1500, first introduced for the 2019 model year, as a point of weakness, and the upcoming 2022 Chevy Silverado looks as though it will address the issue.

Job 1, fix the crappy interior, 10 speed standard on 5.3, get rid of air curtain fenders, put back height adj, for seat belts, put mirrors back where they belong or remove widget and replace with glass, put back sunglass compartment.
Yep. Interior, Fish Gill air scoop fenders, give it a full length bumper again, side mirrors & 10 speed for sure. I’d like to see the Chevrolet lettering on the tailgate recessed or flat like the HD’s too. It looks bizarre popped out like it is. Or just go back to the bowtie. Not a fan of the swoopy front fender design either but it looks like they’re keeping that.
Larger than 24 gallon tank and 3.42 gears outside the max tow package PLEASE.
Agreed.
GM should at least offer a larger tank on reg cab’s. We have one in our fleet and the guy is constantly filling up. a height adjustable front seat would be nice too.
Are we ever going to get a panoramic sunroof option???
Are you kidding? A sunroof, in a pickup truck? Ever have a sunroof in a truck? They suck. Even the moon roofs in the Tahoe aren’t worth the money. Leave the roofs alone!
Short box please.
There was a lot of buzz about a independent rear suspension a year back. They’ve shown on on the new Tahoe, but there’s no media attention to it anymore on the GM light duty pickups. Is it happening? The Ram seems to have the Silverado beat in ride comfort and a IRS could negate that advantage.
Like I said before need to get some new designers..I don’t get it t’s all those little things that people want…that cost so little…..when getting from China..get with the program gm….your loosing the Battle…why can’t you ask the car and truck people..what they look for…..
These pictures are more promising for confirmation of a redesigned interior. Picture 3 clearly shows camouflage over the dash that shows some type of screen or trim piece protruding from the top.
Get the Regular Cab short box back!!!!!
Bring back the regular cab short bed! PLEASE!!
Regular cab , 8′ bed in a high level trim,leather seats and such. I have a ’14 slt premium plus that I wish was 2 door 8′ bed.
Forget about a Reg. Cab getting any kind of goodies, GM will build the Reg. Cab. but not for show. I purchased the Reg. Cab. since 1969, always factory ordered and it got harder over the years to get what I wanted, I am now a four door man !
When are they going to refresh the 2500hd and 3500hd trucks? They are hideous
I’d like to see pano sunroof, Bigger screen (at least 12”, but keep climate controls a buttons), ditch the G80 in favor of e-locker, and have both front and e-lockers on trailboss, and ZRX/ZR2. Please no push/pull/dial gear selector. 10speed across the board (work trucks are exception). add more power to V8’s. Air suspension option, and bigger tank.
Jesus Christ what else do you want in your truck?
IF THE CONSUMER IS WILLING TO PAY FOR OPTIONS SO BE IT! THATS THEIR BUSINESS NOT YOURS MINE, IF IM ORDERING A NEW PICKUP AN IM PAYING FOR IT IM GOING TO GET WHAT I WANT ! IM OVER 21 AN I DONT NEED ANYONE TELLING ME WHAT I WANT OR WHAT I NEED!! I
I PERSONALLY MIND MY OWN BUSINESS,THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
If you can’t handle people who disagree with you the don’t post your business on a public forum 😉
I’d have given you a thumbs up but it’s all caps.
Personally I’d like to see the 10.x” screen from the Tahoe. I’d park a 2022 or so reg cab short box 2wd next to my 2018 crew 4wd. Ideally it would have a 6.2, but I’d settle for a 5.3 DFM if it had a 10 speed and 3.42 gears if they bump the 5.3 hp up a little. 375hp minimum. About the only way a 24 gallon tank is acceptable.
I want a regular cab short bed sport option. Maybe an SS with a LT6.2.
Refresh the front on the 2500 and 3500 HD.If you guys wanted to recycle old Chevy trucks, you should’ve never used the 62′ – 66′ front end I never liked that front end as a kid. The 67′ – 72′ front end was the best looking. Also bring back the K5.
Love the regular cab long bed trucks AKA real trucks.
Get rid of all trucks and go back to cars. Sick and tired of seeing trucks on car shows. I’d be excited to see the refresh of the Malibu or any car from the past. A full sized Caprice Classic was what 4000. Lbs? A Tahoe is 5600 Lbs. Lucy and Ricky towed a long trailer with a 50’s car, a convertible at that. Cars would be more fuel efficient, and more stylish.
bring back regular cab short bed
I’m with JWG, John & Steve and probably a couple million more folks who love the regular cab & short bed. I’ve owned 6 starring with 1970. They’ve all been terrific trucks and good transportation. My latest is 2014 and looks to be a collector classic if you don’t bring ‘em back.
short bed reg. cab
How bout this beefed up trail boss? Rumors of shocks similar to the Colorado ZR2, locking front and read diffs, stubby off-road front bumper and even some mention of a supercharged 6.2…. Is it gonna happen or what? Trailboss is nice, but that new Rebel is insane.
Please bring back the short bed!!
Make a regular cab with a upgraded interior like was available in the previous generation.
I like a reg cab with 8 foot box but not if you can only get a work truck. I’ve been waiting two years already hanging on to my SLE until they make one. If they make them for Middle East export why not here. Not everyone needs 5-6 passenger capacity.
Amen to the guys asking for the Reg. cab short box. History and the auctions will tell us, that this was THE body and box styling everybody just loved. One can purchase it in Mexico and the middle east, But not in the good ‘ole USA! It just is not right. Please, bring it back!!!!!!!!!
Silverado needs a complete revamp of the interior. Dodge is so far ahead in luxury interior. When you spend 60k plus for truck the interior should total luxury. Better and more luxurious seats etc. Have purchased 5 trucks from chev since 2012. Will not buy another until they fix interior. Seriously looking at dodge right now. Come on GM , get with it.
RCSB PLEASE !
My wish list is much smaller. E-coat the frame (the wax coating doesn’t hold up in the rust belt), and provide more incentives to purchase. Ram is much more aggressive in offering discounts and incentives than is GM.
I want a regular cab whith a short bed
I’d like to see them bring back the short bed ,even as an option…and maybe the Blackout Edition again..Like my 2015…
