Books for the Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited are now open, allowing dealers to place an order the 2022-model-year Light Duty pickup.
Order books for the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited officially opened on July 15th.
For those readers who may be unaware, the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited precedes the fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500, serving as a “stop-gap” model between the model refresh and the 2021 model year.
As GM Authority covered previously, the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited carries over all aspects of the pre-refresh 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500. This includes the trim levels, exterior colors, and interior colors. Production of the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited is slated to kick off at the GM Silao plant in Mexico on September 20th, while the pickup will roll off the line at the GM Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana starting September 27th.
GM will implement a similar “stop-gap” strategy with the Chevy Silverado’s corporate cousin, the GMC Sierra 1500, which will be offered as a Sierra 1500 Limited continuation model prior to the arrival off the fully refreshed GMC Sierra 1500, which may not arrive until late in the 2022 model year, or beginning of the 2023 model year.
The launch of the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited precedes the launch of the fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500, which will introduce a long list of changes and updates over the current 2021 model year.
Highlights of the refreshed model include a new front fascia design, which GM Authority was the first to uncover, as well as a new rear fascia, new wheel designs, and new exterior colors. The refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 will also feature a completely overhauled cabin space, with a new dash, center stack, and center console, a larger infotainment screen, a new gauge cluster, and a new gear selector replacement for the column shifter. Under the skin, the refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 will run the Global B electrical architecture, enabling the very latest tech features, including GM’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous drive system.

Cue the Shock……
Last chance for that cheap, crappy interiors boys!
What will you have to complain about then?
Location of mirrors is stupid, more interior color choices, although I don’t think it will stop me from ordering a GMC.
I never noticed the mirror mounts. I’ve driven these trucks, and that isn’t something I even saw.
You just don’t like the way it looks or something?
He’s too poor to actually own one so he just tries to justify why he doesn’t have it.
If he actually sat in and drove one, he’d know the mirrors are the way they are because the traditional support bar would block left turn visibility far more than it’s already blocked.
The tow mirrors are actually banned in Australia for that reason.
Yeah, it looks fine to me. At least, there are other things on the truck that look much worse.
Hopefully the redesign will solve all that.
Put the damn mirrors back where they were on previous generation. They looked much better there, where as the new ones look like an afterthought. Plus, new trucks are equipped with blind spot monitoring which the older generation didn’t have.
See, you haven’t driven one. Blind spot radar does absolutely nothing for left turns. We’re talking about turns, not merges.
Plus, exterior visibility requirements are set by a bunch of standards (SAE J1050 in North America) and BSM is not a means of compliance. “Looking stupid” is not an excuse.
Check the NHTSA database, there’s been a number of complaints filed, so it’s not just me.
It’s a bit throw back and I like the mirror locations.
If there are lots of 2021 trucks and SUV’s stashed until microchips can be supplied, just keep making the 2021’s and bring in the new model for 2022. You are going to have situations where the ’21 models are still showing up on dealer lots after they get microchips and will have to be sold at a discount if they are sitting next to ’22 models.
If the discounts were good enough I’d buy a 21 over a 22. Heck maybe even a 21 over the supposed coming interior refresh if indeed the discount were good enough. I don’t hate the current interiors I just don’t think they are very good. But money talks if the discounts are 10K +.
Yeah, that’s going to be a hard no from me, unless they rebate the crap out of it.
Well can’t get a 2021 trail boss with any options. They want you to buy the higher trim level with no options because of chip shortage.
They say orders opened up on the 15rh. Well I have been to the dealer the past 2 days to order my truck since I can’t order a 2021. GM not accepting orders. This is getting ridiculous now. GM doesn’t want to build trucks with options but still charge you for it.
Hoping that GM gets their heads out of their ass and start accepting orders and get these trucks built. I am tired of waiting. You would think they would accept a customer build, guarantee sale.
#1You must consider with all the down time they were not building trucks there is a surplus of parts to still use up before the change over.
#2 there is still great demand for trucks period. GM will sell everything as fast as it comes to the lot. We just got a new Silverado in the family this week. Most trucks last a day or so below a High Country.
#3 dealers need inventory of anything. I have two Chevy dealers here on with 12 new cars the other a large dealer with 25 new cars.
#4 intro of the new truck in these times would also be difficult if you have to delete features like phone chargers etc.
#5 if you want a truck now these are mostly all Crews. They make money and move. You can get most levels of trim if you really look. Actually many trail boss customs are out at a very low price for what you get.
#6 most change overs not only at GM but other brands usually offer the old and new models at the same time to make sure no trucks supplies run short. Yes even the old truck make money and keep the capital flowing in to fund all the other projects.
Trust me I know the change overs are a mix as when selling parts we always have to sort out with the customer is this the lassis or limited old model or the new one. A lot of wrong parts are ordered due to the two models in change over years.
I totally get the shortage, but I have been trying to order a truck since April and get denied everytime. They would build my LT trailboss but without options or convience package. What is the point of ordering an upper trim level and they have no options.
My issue is this is a customer build and guarantee sale. GM won’t build because of constraints. If a customer wants to order a truck let them order a truck, and prepare chip for those builds.
Now they say you can build a 2022 but 1 can’t do anything online order wise. 2 dealer can’t even get my order thru.
Settled on a 2022 because GM gave up on the 2021s and are just building base models.
Just don’t understand why this is so hard. Dealerships are sinking and GM won’t let people order a truck because they don’t want to build it.
This is the deal. They can only build so many trucks so they are focused on the body style and options that are the most popular with the masses.
Right now they are not focused on individual models with or with out specific options.
Customer builds while they may mostly be a sure thing a truck with the most popular options are a sure thing too.
Trucks pay for nearly everything GM builds and designs and generates the cash flow. They need the money from every sale to count right now.
Might note the truck in our family had more in it than what was expected. But you know the trade we had actually was so high it more than paid for the extra options. Add a lower interest rate on the cash offer and it came out a very good deal.
The got nearly 2/3 what he paid for his old truck with well over 100,000 miles.
Not to mention it came with the delete option on the cylinder engine management.
The bottom line GM can take the chips they have and build a bunch of special orders and make less per chip. Or they can build set packages and spread them out over the dealer system and max the income per chip used.
I wish my father in law had waited for the new body and interior but get had a good deal and he likes the present truck.
Sorry things are not working out but you may better off with the later truck anyways if you can wait.
Just get a ram
Bottom line is GM and many others have dropped the ball. They rely on foreign countries, in most cases foreign countries that hate the US to make their microchips and many other parts. They should be making these critical parts in house, or at least in the US and Canada. Ya, it would cost GM a little more to build their vehicles but with the price of a new car or truck what’s an extra $500 bucks cost on the bottom really matter to employ US and Canadian workers? If that $500 will make or break a buyer then they shouldn’t be buying a brand new vehicle. Doing this would create decent paying jobs for US and Canadian employees which will in turn buy these over priced trucks. I’m getting tired of companies blaming covid for their screwups. As far as GM, It starts with their poor leadership an decision making.
Many microchips are made in the US. The thing is, yo can’t just walk in and flip the lights on and start production. They have clean rooms, and they also have a labor shortage. Plus, do you know where a lot of that plastic is made? Oil. So, when Biden shut down US oil production, it also slowed plastic production and we had to import raw crude to manufacture plastics.
But you are still correct in the fact that we are too dependent or reliant on global production for far too many other products that go into these finished products. We should be manufacturing more Stateside, and if not here, at least in friendly places.
Yes I am aware it takes time to build a semi-conductor plant but GM should of had their own in the US or Canada years ago. Taiwan Semiconductor was a major supplier for GM. As in Japan, not US or Canada. Supposedly Qualcomm in Cali will be a supplier moving forward. Too little too late though.
While I understand no one, except for China, expected Covid. I’m just tired of poor ran corporations using Covid as a scapegoat for their own poor decisions to outsource everything overseas. In may instances to their own competition.
Well, one thing is certain. You don’t understand the semiconductor industry at all.
I’m just glad we have people like you that are just so much smarter than everyone else that does. Let me guess. You own a semi conductor company.
Fun fact: GM is storing my nearly complete truck and thousands of others awaiting the chip at its Kokomo plant, just down the road from Fort Wayne. Guess what GM used to make at that Kokomo plant before killing it in 2017? Yeah, that’s right, the very same semi conductor chips that are holding production world wide. Go figure.
I enter & reverse from 30-50 driveways a day, every day. It’s ESSENTIAL that my transmission gets from R to D WITHOUT DELAY since an approaching car could be bearing down on me after I back out of a driveway.
My 2014 Silverado is much slower than my 2006 Silverado was, and it has scared the crap out of me as I wait for the transmission to shift out of R and into D.
My worry is that a cute rotary “transmission selector” (or buttons) will be even slower.
If I die, it will be because my damn truck is sitting in the road neither in “R” or “D”, but just dead-in-the-water while the silly electrons try to get their act together….
Agree, I too hate the delay. My daily driver is a 2500HD. But when traveling and running errands we are usually in my wife Acadia. While it has a console shifter, the gear select on the trans is still driven by a motor unlike my truck. I too hate the delay.

Why promote a mid year leftover with an unknown stop date, instead of telling us the delivery date of the newly designed trucks?
Can it be ordered with square wheel house openings and cracked dash panels? Oh, and how about window regulators that fail each winter season?
Does any one know if the order books are actually open? My dealer cannot get it to work.
In addition, will there still be chip constraints when ordering?
Called the dealer, still can not order a 2022. Can’t order a 2021 with options either.
So what can we order. Doesnt GM want to see trucks. Only make customer orders then. Not hard.
This is the Oshawa pop-up plant just like the last time.
