The fully refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 made its official debut last month, arriving with a long list of changes and upgrades. Chief among these is an overhauled interior space, with a brand-new cabin layout and the latest tech features. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the refreshed 2022 Silverado High Country’s infotainment spec with the following GM Authority Live Photos.
The 2022 Silverado High Country is one of several 2022 models to come equipped with the overhauled interior layout, which is equipped as standard on LT trim levels and above. High Country trims are also equipped as standard with a 13.4-inch color touchscreen, as are LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, and LTZ trims.
The center stack is oriented towards the driver’s seat, providing easy access to both the hard buttons and the user interface elements on the screen itself. The top of the screen shows the user’s name and connected smart device (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both included as standard), while battery life and available web connection are in the right next to the clock.
The lefthand side of the screen includes navigation touch points, while the center portion shows the current media being played, as well as operational bits like track selection and channel selection. The righthand side of the screen keeps the navigation prominently displayed.
Moving beyond the borders of the screen, we find the primary infotainment screen flanked by vertically oriented air vents. Below the screen is an array of hard buttons for various vehicle functions, while to the left of the hard button panel is a volume knob/power button and a hard button for the home screen. Placing these as hard buttons right next to the steering wheel is smart, as it allows the driver to quickly and easily access these functions using finger feel, rather than diverting their eyes off the road.
The HVAC controls are positioned towards the bottom of the center stack, while the large engine starter is in the leftmost corner.
Also notable is the revised center console, which houses a new console-mounted gear selector. For those customers who prefer the traditional steering column-mounted Electronic Precision Shifter, it can still be optioned on some models, as GM Authority covered previously.
Next to the shifter, we find a pair of cupholders, while ahead is a small storage cubby. Behind the center tunnel is an armrest, underneath which is the wireless smartphone charger.
Behind the steering wheel, the 2022 Silverado High Country incorporates a 12.3-inch configurable instrument cluster as standard, offering a variety of Google-powered tech features, such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play.
GM’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system is optional on High Country trims, although this particular model does not have it equipped, as evidenced by the lack of a system indicator bar placed along the top of the steering wheel rim.

And the trailer brake controller to the correct side. Looks like a good evolution.
The article promises “Live Photos.” WTH is a “live” photo? Does the author mean photos taken by the publication rather than press photos distributed by the manufacturer? This site need an editor.
I think it just means not a “render”?
It’s so tiny compared to Ford and RAM! Maybe little gm will fix it in the next generation.
Bring back the old interior, I liked it much better.
If you go into the secret menu you can add the trailer brake controller to the steering wheel controls.
Obviously people do not know how to access the secret menu.
Looks great.
The console shifter blows! Takes up a lot of premium space. Not a fan. Probably won’t stop my from buying the truck though.
I totally agree. I’ve come to love my gigantic center console in my ’19. I’ve always loved a column shifter. Can’t tell you how many times I rest my hand on it while driving. [Of course, accidentally further downshifting my Suburban while headed down the Smokey Mountains might have been a negative side affect of that comfortable driving stance, but I digress.] However, this console shifter is lightyears better than the push button ones in the Suburban/Tahoe, so like paracutin said, it won’t stop me from buying the truck.
Feel much the same – but I actually prefer the buttons in Tahoe/Burb to the console shifter.
When I see the picture with the console shifter, I see what should be four drink holders, or a modular console similar to the Ford Superduty.
The twist knob used in the Ram trucks is also superior to a console shifter.
Yet, I prefer a column shifter over anything else.
Anyways whether I buy or not won’t rest on a the column shifter, but it might push me into a lower model without a console, or even gasp, a custom with the old style interior.
You can order the bench seat option and get the column shifter you know.😒
I love the bench seat, but all the goodies in the build your own usually make you sacrifice it along the way.
Larger screen is nice, except half of it is controls, so effective screen is about the same size. Also radio controls further away from driver, which may be more dangerous to reach. Wish they weren’t going to the electronic shifter, moving the cupholders, and limiting the surface storage areas. Not sure what I will do when my current Sierra wears out. Wife decided on a Blazer Premium over the Cadillac because of the shifter. She hated the way it worked.
Silverado with bench seat has new interior + column shifter.
Learn to use the steering wheel controls,it is not difficult to master unless you have “big guy” moments.
If you need to make adjustments on the screen,those should be made when you are parked and some actually require that the parking brake be applied.
I am glad they decided to retain carplay and android auto.
I like the traditional dual zone climate control,the on-screen is less user friendly and difficult to home repair.
the carplay/AA comment was sarcasm.
Well Hell GM you really screwed up in my opinion…1. shifter to console, lose all that storage space…bad idea … Why ?…2… where is the duel glove box ?…more space lost..Why? 3. swapping the piano buttons and the a/c controls position was stupid…the piano buttons are turned off or on and never used..the a/c controls are used constantly and now harder to reach and see..Why? My 2014 high country has a much better layout …you should have left good enough alone…..4…no sport engine option, IE [super charged]..you think we all are waiting for the electric version..not gonna happen..the 6.2 with 420/460 needs more grunt to compete with everyone else….no thanks GM i’ll keep my 2014 till the sun sets on me and the good LORD calls me home [hopefully].!!!!
1. Safer
2. Its bigger now and does have two still.
3. AC controls should basically never be touched unless you are like the people who don’t know what AUTO does
4. It will outrun a ’14 and get better gas mileage
5. shut up
You must not like when people say things that you don’t approve of. I think the better idea is how about you just piss off
What a horribly constructed paragraph.
What a stupid name
The HVAC controls are right where they’re supposed to be. Fingers reach because you will have the palm of your right hand resting on shifter, or will be using the shifter to stabilize your hand as you push HVAC buttons. It’s much more ergonomic, unless you don’t have a right hand. I think they planned it out very well… but then again they had 10 years to plan 😉
That is one ugly truck
I agree
Careful you will upset the gm nut swingers on here
How in God’s name are you able to send these messages from prison?
Who’s in prison? Try working on the insults old chap you aren’t very good at them.
Try working on your irrelevant display name.. maybe change it to “Illiterate Dummy”… maybe that would be more fitting “ol chap”… 🙄🙄
Ahh you are one of those control freaks I see. Pretty soon I imagine you will start complaining about what the authors write on here to. Here’s a thought how about you start your own website where you can control what peoples names are how does that sound?
John you aren’t the dictator here you don’t get to decide what peoples names are.
I drove Fords for years and I really like the console shifter.
I agree with King Ralph.
And what is in the big hole behind the screen?
Looks like a great place to collect dirt and dust that can’t be reached to clean.
Additional storage, can put sunglasses, pens or whatever there.
The addition of the console shifter was idiotic, thankfully it looks like the next gen should have a selector stalk which IMO is the best option but buttons or a dial I would like as well, anything but a console shifter. Look how much storage was lost, where are you going to put grub to eat while on a road trip now? I just really hope the next gen Colorado and Canyon use the shifter stalk first as that vehicle is what needs more console storage space the most.
Also, wish they would have kept the tune as a dial, I use that all the time to quickly scroll to stations that aren’t a favorite, much more of a PITA doing it digitally through a touch screen, though it should have a swipe/scroll feature I would assume, but hard buttons and dials are preferred.
The tuning knob was great for zooming in and out on the navigation screen too.
Great looking interior! Cant wait !
Does the engine still burn gobs of oil and the fuel management system still suck ? Who cares where the buttons are.
PLEASE add a real button to bring up the camera(s). Stinks having to go through the touchscreen and push 3 or 4 things to get the camera view
I don’t understand why so many like the column shifter
I like my Center console shifter.
I never want to have 3 people in the front. I like my space
Full console shifter for me
I prefer it because I drive up my left and rust my right on it In case of emergency Your hand is right next to the wheel
Interior looks nice, console shifter is a bit of a wtf though, like the push button tailgate “handle”.
Not a huge issue though.
WTH?, GMINSIDELosers got shut down?, no real men complain about screen sizes in a pickup, it’s comparable to the SUVs. Get a Tundra and get lost…
I hate the look of that thing already. That being said, I do like the look of the wood trim and leather finish. It could use a little more chrome, and it should offer more accessible aux switches, but other than that they did a great job. It’s still below Ram and Ford, though. The Ram’s has a better infotainment system and finish, and the Ford is packed with more features and nicer looking seating and materials.
Wood grain interior is soooo 1980’s!!!
No doubt.
All those Bentleys also.
