The fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is here, introducing a host of changes and updates over the preceding 2021 model year and 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited. Chief among these changes is a completely overhauled interior featuring a new 13.4-inch infotainment screen.
The new 13.4-inch infotainment screen is equipped as standard on 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ, and High Country trim levels. The larger screen arrives as a replacement for the 8-inch screen previously equipped on 2019 through 2022-interim (Silverado 1500 Limited) models. The new infotainment setup also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, as well as built-in tech features from Google, such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play.
The layout for the large 13.4-inch screen stretches horizontally across the dash and split in half, with the left side of the screen occupied by user interface “buttons,” and the right side incorporating things like the directions and map. There’s also a physical Home button located to the left of the volume knob, as well as a pair of USB ports (including one USB-C port) on the center stack to the right of to the climate controls.
The screen itself is mounted with a “floating” design that lifts it out of the center stack, while also incorporating an air vent on the left for the driver, and a storage bin above and behind the screen.
For now, nothing has been announced yet for WT, Custom, and Custom Trail Boss models. As a reminder, these trim levels were previously equipped as standard with a 7-inch screen for the 2022-interim Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited.
Other notable updates for the 2022 model-year refresh include a new 12.3-inch configurable instrument cluster, which is equipped as standard on all refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 models equipped with the overhauled interior design. Customers will also have access to GM’s semi-autonomous Super Cruise driver assist system with the High Country trim level, which will come with assisted trailering capabilities.

It’s a shame the 13.4” screen is not fully utilized when viewing the cameras. Looks like even CarPlay doesn’t use the whole real estate. Maybe a screen ratio similar to what’s in the ‘21 F-150 and new Tundra would have been better?
That screen is a joke, when you measure the total square inch area, it’s 1/3 the size as Ford and RAM, another gm failure all to save money for the crappy Lectrics.
Personally I like this screen layout better than the F-150, new Tundra and yes, even Ram. IMO the screen is the perfect size and actually flows with the interior. I can’t stand the look of some of these oversized screens that create huge humps in the dash (f-150) or the screen itself sticking way above the dash (new Tundra). I honestly think Chevy got it right.
Seriously agree, I like that they still feature physical buttons unlike Ford
WHYYYYY would Chevy nix the physical buttons for the audio controls?! Did they not learn their lesson with CUE?
I drive an 18 LT now, I’d probably replace it with another LT or RST. I can honestly say I will not be buying another Chevy. I test drove the new 19 models, wasn’t a fan of the interior then, not really a fan of the looks now. Why is the digital DIC standard?? Why can’t I get physical audio buttons?? and why the hell is there paddle shifters in a truck?! Where are the steering wheel audio controls? Where’s the pano-roof? c’mon GM.
Also, this really never bothered me, but did they re-off-center the steering wheel? Didn’t a lot of drivers complain about that, so Chevy made a big deal about fixing it on the new trucks in 19? No longer looks centered to me.
The physical buttons for the radio are on the wheel for the driver, you also have full voice control over the unit if you so like. The passenger will be fine using the touch screen if they like.
I prefer knobs, dials, switches and levers. I don’t like crap on my steering wheel getting in the way when I’m steering. And voice control? Pfft. My phone can’t even understand me. What makes anyone think my truck will?
Please, GM, start offering some trucks that are TRUCKS. Not shiny farkle-laden luxury sedans with a box no one will use. Give me back my manual transfer case, steam gauges, and the third pedal on the floor so I can shift gears the old fashioned way. And a solid front axle, too.
Buy the custom trim. The 2022 custom has the carryover design, which if the make it the carryover from the LT instead of the custom/wt is a really tough usable and “decent looking” interior.
If my local dealers had any, I’d consider one. Those clowns only bring in top of the line trucks that I don’t want.
Pedro is a real truckster, there should be more peeps like him.
They asked the cheap boomers last time for the 2019-2021 truck on how they could improve from the last gen. You saw the result, so no we don’t need more people like him unless it’s the actual mechanical issues then sure
Boomer? Nah. Gen-X. Cheap? If I’m dropping the equivalent of a year’s wages on a truck, it bloody well better last me 20 years. I’ve never liked autos. I learned to drive on a 5 speed, and spent most of my professional career shifting gears by hand. I just plain prefer it that way. All my trucks save one had manual transfer cases. Guess which one gave me the most grief? The one with a stupid button.
What the hell is your beef with someone wanting a simple, basic truck that has no screens, crap on the steering wheel, and manual transmission, & t-case? Hell, I can even do without a stereo system. Just keep the heated seat (preferably with a toggle switch) and a/c. I can do without the rest.
If your dropping a years wages on anything other than a home, you should reconsider your finances.
The volume knob is there (audio power button). What else do you need?
The paddle shifters are easier to use than the old rocker switch on the column stalk of the past.
I agree on the audio controls: knobs and buttons, please.
The ’19 has almost the exact same interior as your ’18. You must not be a fan of your current trucks interior either. I have had a ’12, ’14, ’16, ’17, ’18 and now a ’20. I know of what I speak.
The wheel is still centered. The offset wheel was introduced in ’05 and continued until the new body in ’19. Yes, they had some complaints. The offset was so small that I never notice until someone pointed it out to me. It never made any different at all to me.
It looks to me like there is (thankfully) a volume dial just to the left of the screen. All of the cabin and seat climate controls are still on the dash which is infinitely more convenient than the Ram setup. It would be nice for the surround camera view to fill a little more of the screen, but it appears larger than what we have now. The Google platform and over the air updates will be great and a large screen flows with the dash which can’t be said about many/all of the competitors. Overall they nailed this design in my opinion. A screen/tech improvement and better materials with the useful functionality and general layout we had before.
Yes volume is on the left on a knob and it also will turn it on and off wit a button in the center.
Travis get the award for paying attention to detail.
Looks much better than the ’20 model year interior. I agree with the need to maintain as many physical knobs as possible for climate control and the radio power, volume, and tuner. It looks like they have all of this except for the tuner. Still such an improvement over what they came out with a couple of years ago, that interior was such an embarrassment for GM.
Embarrassment? It was 99% the same as the previous gen truck. Hardly embarrassing.
Tuner is on the steering wheel left side on the back.
I am also not sure if that Volume knob is ‘Just Volume” it seems to have some odd bumps on it like you can push it down.
did they keep the radio controls on the back side of the steering wheel ??
Yes it has Volume controls on the back of the steering wheel on the right and tuner/seek buttons on the back of the steering wheel on the left.
There is a video on youtube that has very good pictures on and around the steering wheel.
Anyone else see the DIF Locks under the infortainment screen?? am I seeing that right?
Yes, the ZR2 has a front a rear diff lock aux style switch fright under the screen. Best feature here though is the screen is tilted towards the driver so everything is easier to see and more accessible.
What’s that non-symmetrical funky shape behind the “floating” screen? Is there a compartment back there? Also what about HUD?
You can see the HUD controls in the steering wheel photo. IDK about the compartment
Yes there is a deep storage pocket behind the screen to put random things in.
Also yes there is a HUD.
Biggest disappointment for me is not have it the LT4 available in the RST. The 6.2 is perfect for the ZR2, as many trucks have a hard time with traction putting down 400 horses on pavement, less 600 on dirt, but a slightly lowered AWD RST with all seasons would be a blast with the LT4
Just add a supercharger from Whippie or Eaton.
When we look at the new infotainment screen setup for the 2022 Expedition, we can appreciate what GM did with designing the new infotainment screen/dash layout on the 2022 Silverado.
GM did a masterful job with the whole dash/infotainment setup.
Much MUCH better than the screen layout/design in the recent Ford Expedition article. But it’s still too much.
It’s better than Toyota’s since it’s angled toward the driver but IN MY HUMBLE OPINION not as good as Ram’s; being vertical makes everything more accessible.
I also find it kind of funny that we’re now in a screen-size contest. Ram does 12, Chevy goes 13.4, Toyota 14.1. Next Ford will do a 15.6 laptop built into the dash and then the 2024 electric ram will have a full on 26 inch LED TV in there. Like, chill guys. 12 was already pushing it.
all this gee whiz stuff is not much use to me a 86 year old silverado owner who uses it for hauling my ATV and stuff to camp. i wish the back up camera could be switch to stay on all the time as you would have a better rear view than from the mirrors going down the road.
Let’s hope GM can cobble together enough chips to produce these trucks 🙂
Nice upgrades…… please tell me they will have a 1500 LTZ version without the off road lift kits. The changes look nice but it appears they still used the same mirrors again with no integrated turn signals in them. I went from a 2010 LTZ with them, into a 2020 LTZ without them. It’s a great safety feature. I was hoping more like the new Tahoe or Yukon mirrors.
Who would want a Chevy truck that looks like a Toyota.
It doesn’t look anything like a Toyota.
when this fancy stuff goes belly up you will not even be able to play your radio in your truck or turn on your heater or A/C
I really think no matter what GM did, a lot of you people would still find something to complain about.
Will: there is an inverse to what you say: no matter how big a lemon their NisSuToyBishiDaZda turns out to be, they will prattle on about Japanese quality being so great. These are the ones who search the lots for a VIN tha says “J” instead of “4” for the first character, just KNOWING the ones built across the sea are better.
The owner of a AuBenzWageMW will not bat an eye at a $2,000 bill for a $600 repair. Why? Because they conflate 347 parts to do a 63 part job with “precision engineering”. Five different tools, and removing a windshield gasket and three pieces of plastic bits to change cabin air filters (94 E320, personal experience) somehow represents superiority over one tool and three minutes of time to do the same job on a 2001 Silverado (personal experience) or 15 minutes, one tool (2019 Chrysler Pacifica, personal experience). Oh, and… about that windshield gasket? I looked at what it was designed to do, and, had some other design work been done right, there’d be no need for the gasket in the first place.
Problem with screen sticking out like that it tends to block air flow of vents. IE if I wan max flow cant point passenger vent at driver. Also need scan button for radio (when out of town) presets and volume already on the wheel.
you can change the buttons(in options) to do presets or scan on the left of the wheel. Can do that in my Volt now.
i remember back in the day some cars had a push button on the floor to change radio stations. for you youngsters the high low beam switch was also there
Might that floor-mounted radio station button have been a little bit custom?
it was a mid 40s lincoln. i remember seeing after WW II
Just got my 2022 refreshed Silverado 1500. Some issues on the Infotainment system that should have been addressed. The biggest is the USB media input. Yes, it works, BUT you have no way to search a specific song or album among the 2000+ songs on my USB drive. I have to scroll all the way through it, very unsafe when driving. No on screen search ability and a voice command wants to play the song through YouTube, Spotify, Apple Car Play, etc. etc. etc., not the on board media. Almost makes it of no value to me.
50 miles on the new ZR2 and the display goes out about the steering console, no heads up display no steering wheel controls work. At the dealer for 3.5 weeks before a replacement came in, GM made my 1st payment for me and all seems well now.
Audio kicks but with the Kicker sub, great ride, windows tinted, and ready for an exhaust upgrade!
Fully loaded BaDaSS machine, looked forward to breaking this beast in!
how can I brighten my infotainment center console?
