The fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 made its debut in September with a variety of changes and upgrades over the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited and pre-refresh 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500, including several updates to the powertrain lineup.

Awesome
According to the order guide, the 6.2 is no longer available on the Custom Trail Boss
Are the thumbs down because people think the article is correct and the order guide is wrong?
Or are they just unhappy that it is no longer available with the 6.2?
That front end is in sight for sore eyes
The headlights look cross-eyed
Good move on offering the 3.0 diesel with fuel prices going into the stratosphere. Also with proper care and maintenance the diesel will last 3X’s longer than a gasoline engine.
Agreed – I’m hoping they’ll figure out a way to get the Diesel into the Z71 Suburban.
I wish they would offer it across all trim levels the way Ram does the Ecodiesel in theirs.
What an ugly grill! Why can’t they give all the trucks an LT front facia!
I wonder what GM’s production capacity is for the 3.0 Duramax Diesel?
This engine is now going to be a popular option for all GM pickups and full sized SUVs.
Offer a singe cab, short bed LTZ or AT4…………with the 6.2…..come on guys WTH!!!!!!!!!
Single cab , short bed LTZ or AT4……..Get with it GM!!!!!!
How many of you that praise that diesel engine know that at 150’000 miles they have to pull the transmission and replace the rubber timing belt?
I’m a diesel guy from a farm but this is a ridiculous design—a diesel engine shouldn’t have to seen a wrench to at least 300’000 miles.
Why would they offer the 6.2 instead of the 5.3 on the custom? Because the 5.3 will follow the 4.3’s path on the next gen truck.
To be built in GM Oshawa in 2022 as well
