The current fourth-generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was introduced for the 2019 model year, while the upcoming 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is slated for a mid-cycle enhancement (more commonly referred to as a “refresh”) that will consist of a new interior and revised styling, as originally reported by GM Authority back in February. Now, new spy photos provide a glimpse of the upcoming refreshed Trail Boss model, including a new wheel design for the off-roader.
Although it’s a bit difficult to make out, this particular 2022 Chevy Silverado comes with a set of red tow hooks in the front bumper, located under some heavy camouflage. Add in the taller ride height and off-roader stance, and this particular model would appear to be the refreshed Trail Boss model.
What’s more, this 2022 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss is equipped with a new wheel design, with a six-spoke layout and multi-color finish, plus some aggressive rubber around the perimeter. These new wheels differ from those offered with the current Silverado Trail Boss, with the current model offering either 18-inch by 8.5-inch High gloss Black painted aluminum rollers (RPO code RD1), which are standard, or 20-inch by 9-inch Black painted aluminum rollers (RPO code RD5), which are optional.
Optional 20-inch by 9-inch Black painted aluminum wheels (RD5)
What’s more, we know that the 2022 Chevy Silverado will also introduce Chevy’s version of the GMC MultiPro tailgate. As GM Authority covered previously, Chevrolet is working on a Bow Tie brand version of the MultiPro branded as MultiFlex, which will once again offer multiple configurations for greater functionality. The new MultiFlex tailgate was previously spotted on a number of Chevy Silverado HD prototypes, as well as a Silverado 1500 prototype.
Per a previous GM Authority report, it’s possible the MultiFlex tailgate could be differentiated from the MultiPro tailgate via a new feature or position, or, alternatively, both the MultiFlex tailgate and MultiPro tailgate will offer a new feature and come with feature parity.
Stay tuned, as we’ll have plenty more to say about the upcoming 2022 Chevy Silverado in the near future. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevrolet Silverado news, Chevrolet news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

I hope the front end and taillights look better than the 2020 model because it’s really hard to look at just way to much going on in a bad way
Two things that GM needs to fix on pretty much all of their vehicles but especially the Silverado.
First is Headlight technology. GM is far behind the Competition. Only the base models should offer lower grade Headlights.
And by far the most important change is much better interior materials and Tech.
My 70K Silverado shouldn’t have an 8 inch Infotainment screen when I can get a cheap Kona with a 12 inch screen.
ram and now Ford use Bolt chunky materials in their interiors that are real. Big Wood, Aluminum, Thick Grain leathers, Carbon, and high quality leathers.
iiiiijj
The position of the side mirrors on the doors drives me nuts.
It’s all I see.
Since they are using two headlights on both sides of the lower opening, I would be willing to bet that they are going to put the LED daytime running lights above the bow-tie bar in the grille…much like the Blazer and Trailblazer. I hope it is executed well.
Still waiting for the day GM make am offroad capable short wheel base truck….all these lipstick pigs have is some mild lift and stickers. How about you make a vehicle actual offroaders will use not some flashy mall crawler.
The new grills are hideous and if I buy an 8 cylinder I would like it to run on 8 cylinders all the time.
A lot of people use aftermarket tuners to get rid of the old deactivation cylinder system. And frankly with a good tuner you get more responsiveness and more power as well as a 1/2 to mile per gallon gain. I know I personally done this on my 2011 with a 4.8 and I get better gas mileage now than the factory tune. It’s astounding that they leave so much on the table and now my vehicle drives even better.
bring back the regular cab short bed
please bring back the regular cab short bed
THE upcoming 2022 Chevy LT TRAILBOSS should have a built-in navigation system as standard, undeniably the LT TRAILBOSS is a handsome truck especially in the exterior.
