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…
I just can’t figure out why they offer the RCSB in Mexico and the Middle East yet you can’t order one in the USA or Canada. They are already building them, and have put the R&D into it. Let us order them and make more sales (they could use a few more sales), both Silverado and Sierra. They talk about sale #’s and CAFE yet Fords 2021 is going to have a RCSB 390HP V8 and 10 speed available so whats up GM?? No RCSB, no sale.
Regular Cab with a Short Box in Michigan is Asking for Trouble. With all the Potholes, the Truck Bounces Down the Roan…
Chevrolet needs to bring back the regular cab 8 foot bed in the 1500 in an LT or LTZ I am wanting to buy a new truck and the work truck is cheap looking and cannot get the options I want on it. I have been a Chevrolet owner all my life and cannot believe they can’t make a nice truck for the working man.
Shame on Chevrolet!!!!
Can’t wait to buy it
I will never buy a four door truck! Why can’t we have a nice regular cab truck?
Obama’s CAFE regulation changes.
I ordered a 3500 regular cab long bed SLE in March ,no such animal in 19 ,now I’m told no more standard cabs for 2020 reordered a 2021 , Chev to go in production Oct 5 , where are the GMC`s ?
A panoramic Sunroof as well please
Regular Cab Short bed with full trim availability !! Do it yesterday.
Bring GM dominance back to the truck world.Stop giving up market share..every bit counts…come on GM!
Bought a new 2018 regular cab long box in LT trim. Love it!! Feels good to have a pickup that looks lile one and use it as one.
I like the new trucks, they just need 10 speed auto on all engines and have a slightly nicer interior.
I would like to extend a giant eye roll to all of the people that are asking for a two-door short bed truck. They do not make them anymore because they do not sell. I sold GMCs for several years and those were the trucks that lingered on the lot the longest. The only people interested in them were old men in their 70s that wanted to haggle out in the lot. There wasn’t any margin in them and they weren’t worth dealing with the clientele that it attracted. Two two door crowd usually wanted some unicorn option that we had to dealer trade with a place in Alabama. They weren’t worth the brain damage.
I’d like to roll my eyes at all the dealerships who ordered a RCSB work truck style with a V6, or manual 4×4, or low (no) trim level and crappy wheels (pretty much 95% of them) then they wonder why they sit…LOL It didn’t help GM wouldn’t let you order leather or various other upscale options (because of course they are trying to drive everyone into the high margin crewcabs). That’s why when I bought mine I walked in and ordered what I wanted waited the two months and picked it up. I’m nowhere near 70 even now (!!wow, really??? LOL), would like another…sitting on my cash and GM obviously feels there is some kind of market as they designed and still build them, just not for North America where you need a schoolbus to fit in with the soccer mom crowd I guess. A fast sale and lots of profit is what every dealership wants, I want what I want (feel free to stereotype) and if GM doesn’t make it then i will move on I guess or build an older one. Cheers.
Yea, its always comes back to NOT MAKING ENOUGH MONEY ON A VEHICLE ! THE CAR DEALERS ALL WANT TO MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE, EXAMPLE LIKE FORD, GO BUY A NEW FORD 40 GT OR A SHELBY GT 500 AN FIND OUT THE DEALER ADDED $20K TO THE PRICE OF THE CAR, REALLY?! THEY FOR GET ABOUT RETURN BUYERS FOR THE GOOD DEAL THEY GOT! BEEN THERE AN DONE THAT. WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER AN NOW I HAVE THE DEALER IVE GOT VEHICLES SINCE I WAS 22 YRS OLD ,I REMINDED THEM WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO ,THEY HAD THE B….S TO TELL ME IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN . AN I TOLD THEM YOUR RIGHT!
I’m 66 years old. Been a chevy guy all my life, but Ford is the only company that still makes a regular cab short bed pickup. Looks like I will have to switch if I can’t find a good used chevy single cab short bed.
Regular cab with the new 3.0L Duramax
-short bed 6.5
-LTZ
– and while your at it bring back the Stepside.
I’ve owned 6 Chevy short bed pickups, 70, 80, 88, 93, 05, and 14. In addition to the pickups all my cars have been Chevy. Now I’m told GM no longer makes a pickup that I’ve been buying since my 25th birthday. I’m now headed into my 77th year. I’ve been supporting GM/Chevrolet all my adult life and now they abandon me and the thousands of hard earned money I’ve donated to GM. My next short bed will have the Blue Oval instead of the Bowtie.
Do you think Chevrolet will bring back a regular cab long bed in the LT 1500? Ford still makes in an an XLT. I want all the options in a regular cab long bed that I can not get in an ugly work truck!
Need to bring back reg cab short bed 1500 4X4 5.3L Z71 package highly optioned like the RST addition but with a 6 speed A/T as an option “not a fan of the 8 or 10 speed transmissions” with 20′ or 22′ wheel package’s like the models the they are still building and only selling in the mid east supposedly because it does not meet its carbon foot print in the US but the RAM 1500 TRX with 702HP does, sounds like BS to me.
Bring back the reg cab in top trim levels with both 8 ft and short bed versions. Mine is getting old but I’m not buying a work truck.
10-speed transmission standard with the gasoline 6.6L 2500HD no just with the diesel engine option. Make the following safety features standard on all trim levels which are now only on certain trim levels (with some not all of the following) as an optional “package”: Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, IntelliBeam (high beam assist), Following Distance Indicator, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Please gm bring back the regular
Short box trailboss. It would be the coolest looking Chevy ever.i think it would sell well.
Please gm bring the regular cab shortbox trailboss to USA.
I want a good, solid, functional regular cab 1 ton ,8 foot box srw diesel 4×4. Have a 2013 3500 hd that I love, but, I need to replace. Please can the bling, electronics and touch screen. Keep it solid and simple.
BRING BACK THE S10!
I mean this in the nicest way possible. The regular cab Of course has a long bed on it so who gives a s$$t. I and many other want a RCSB. I don’t know how much longer I can wait. Going to end up buying a Ford at this rate.
Bring back the regular cab short bed pickup
Reg. cab short box Silverado in any trim. And lets get the Colorado in on also. I drove a reg, cab short box S-10 for many years. It made a great work truck, and it got around 25miles per gal.
So a reg. cab short box Silverado & Colorado. They would sell!!!!
I still have a 93 RCSB s10. The only reason I didn’t buy a chevy This year is because of no rcsb.
Regular cab shortbox trailboss. They would sell. Please gm make it happen.
Refuse to buy Chevy regular cab work truck without a chrome grill option, looks like cheap plastic without it !
A 1LT Regular Cab short bed would get me to buy
