2022 Silverado: Take A Video Tour Of The Massive 13.4-Inch Screen

General Motors pulled the sheets on the fully refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 in September, unveiling a revised exterior, the new Silverado ZR2 off-roader trim level, and a totally overhauled interior studded with cutting-edge technology. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the large 13.4-inch infotainment screen placed front and center in the overhauled 2022 Silverado interior with the following exclusive GM Authority video.

The following GM Authority video was captured on the show floor of the 2021 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, where Chevrolet was featuring the new 2022 Silverado ZR2. The screen is placed high on the center stack, and stretches horizontally between two HVAC vents. The screen incorporates new Google Automotive software, which enables the onboard system to run connected Google features like maps, podcasts, and more. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included, both via wired and wireless connections.

Notably, the new 2022 Silverado screen is one of the biggest in its class, and it works in tandem with the 12.3-inch diagonal configurable digital instrument cluster. Check out the screen in-depth by hitting play:

With a large, wide-screen layout, detailed maps, and great graphics, the 2022 Silverado’s central infotainment screen looks great, especially when displaying full-screen maps.

The 2022 Silverado’s overhauled interior is found on LT trim levels and above, with the 13.4-inch screen included as standard on LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country trim levels.

As a reminder, the fully refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 can be equipped with four engine options, including the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, which now produces 420 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 20 percent. The refreshed Silverado is also offered with the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine and naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, as well as the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. Under the skin is the GM T1 platform.

The first units of the the refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 are set to hit dealers in Q1 of 2022. Production will take place at the GM Silao plant in Mexico and GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana, plus the GM Oshawa plant in Canada.

  1. This time GM hit a home run with the infotainment layout in the new 2022 refreshed pickups. Love the horizontal layout versus many of the competitors vertical layout that rises above the dashboard and blocks your view and just looks bad!

  2. Looks fantastic, much needed update.

    I’m taking orders for the 2022 MCE Silverado, and no I don’t charge over MSRP. I’m located in metro Detroit. Send me an email! Cole(dot)gagliano(at)GenesisChevy.com

    1. Are you honoring friends and family?

      1. Until GM fixes that to make it an actual manufacturer discount instead of the majority of the discount coming from the dealership, or inventory gets back to normal levels, I’ll be amazed if any dealer will honor it.

        Reply
      2. Yes I will honor friends & family and employee discounts.

    2. Hi Cole, do you have any info on the availability of upfitter switches on the refreshed 22’s? I know Hummer has them integrated into the touchscreen. I wonder if Chevy was “allowed “ to have this. Thanks

      1. John – no such option on the 2022 Silverado 1500. The feature exists on the Silverado Medium Duty, but not on the light duty.

        Reply
        1. Alex, the order workbench is down at the moment so I can’t say with absolute certainty about the 2022 1500, but the 2022 1500 Limited definitely has upfitter switches as an option. RPO code 9L7. I assume that’s what you were referring to since the HD line hasn’t been updated in a way that you could be referring to the electronic switches that John asked about.

          John, I’m not sure of the answer to your question but it intrigues me so I’m going to see what I can find out!

          1. Thanks!

            Reply
        2. It’s available on 2019-21

      2. Upfitter switches are not currently among the options for the 2022 MCE 4WD crew cabs, at least not yet.

        1. Thanks for looking into it,disappointing.

  3. I hope the screen’s electronic guts are hardened for temperature extremes. It’s 4 degrees in Elko, Nevada this morning. In the summertime the temps get to the hundred mark. We have 340+ days of sunshine a year, and live in a county with 15,000+ square miles. Have a bazillion miles of gravel and dirt roads. I wonder about the life and durability of that screen in a shake and bake, temperature extreme environment after a few years. ???

    The digital fahrenheit/celsius indicator within the rear view mirror on my Suburban failed. Replacement part cost of the inside front review mirror alone was over $200.00 ex service R & I charge.

  4. No heated seats or steering wheel???

    Reply
    1. GM is smart enough to use actual buttons and controls for seat heater/ventilation, steering wheel heat, and HVAC controls so you don’t have to fumble through a screen to find them.

      Reply
    2. Front heated seats will be enabled free of charge by your dealer in the spring/summer if you ordered them but your truck was built without them. Also, GM Jeff put up a video this week saying that this also applies to the heated steering wheel.

  5. Nice job on the videos! Very thorough.

  6. I guarantee you, GM electrical engineers have thought about the heat and cold and bouncing situations on this. I mean think about it. They been putting radios in cars for over a hundred years. They been putting computers to run cars in them for more than 30 years. They are engineers you know.

    1. SDW: Then what happened to the digital temperature gauge on my rear view mirror? I know a lot of this electronic stuff is vendor sourced. Ranch pickups in the Great Basin have a life of 20+ years. Am spooked about all the electronics after 10+ years in our area. We are not urban Rexall Rangers that garage our vehicles in a garage at night.

      Reply
      1. This tech is nothing new. Trucks have had computers and electronic screens in them for generations already and have been used in the harshest of conditions. You make it sound like uncharted territory. Could it be that the temperature gauge on your mirror went out partially due to age?

        Reply
        1. Ford Guy–Thanks for your rebuttal comment to my concern. I base my concern on a history of issues that I have experienced with electronic indicators on vehicles that I have owned and company vehicles that I have used. False warnings such as tire air pressure, ABS, check engine, etc. Taking the vehicle to the dealer, having the dealer’s service department inspect, and then having them indicate that it is a false alarm with having them reset. The joys of temperature extremes on electronics, seals, etc. Remember the Challenger space shuttle? That was a seal issue due to cold weather.

          My outside temperature digital indicator within my rear view mirror failed this week when the ambient outside temperature in Elko, Nevada dropped into the single digits. Currently this evening it is 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

          The rearview mirror and integrated digital temperature indicator is a stationary part within a dry cab. This part should last for the life of the vehicle. Would you agree? BTW: The profit margin on electronic parts is almost similar to the profit margins on pharmaceuticals prior to patent expiration. The mirror is a vendor sourced item like most of the vehicle’s parts. Now I have to shell out two Franklins and change just for the mirror ex R & I charge. UGGH!

          I’m just concerned about the heavy use of electronics, their life, dust and temperature affects. Automotive grade is nowhere near military, satelite or aircraft grade which are X’s times the auto products grade cost. Example, Collins Radio, Harris, Sunstrand electronics as examples.

          Are we going too far overboard on electronic indicators and gadgets? Should not vehicle operation be 100% road and safety focused versus an electronic entertainment and work/social center on wheels?

          Reply
          1. Again you act as though this is new stuff. You are sounding the alarm 30 years too late. I’m not advocating for evermore electronics but you calling this a electronic entertainment and work/social center on wheels is a bit hyperbolic. Besides the argument could be made that solid state equipment is more durable in dusty/rough conditions than mechanical. Have you seen inside the cabs of the newest, heaviest, dirtiest machinery? They are laden with electronics and displays and there is no plague of failures. And as far as your mirror temperature readout… there are a million and one reasons that could have failed apart from the environment but you have somehow concluded it was absolutely a result of temperature extremes.

            Reply
            1. Ford Guy: Thanks again for your rebuttal comment to my issue about temperature extremes and their effects on electronic components. Here’s another example for my argument and your consideration.

              Twice a year I have to reset the clock on my dash due to daylight time change in Nevada. In the early morning when it’s cold depressing the hour and sometimes the minute button nothing happens. However, when it warms up mid day or afternoon, depressing the hour and minute buttons, they work when it is warmer and I can reset the time. ??? A clear example of cold temperature effect.

              I’m not against solid state circuitry, chips, screens, etc., I’m just concerned about downstream life of these components in hot and cold climates. My cell phone when I leave it in a cold car overnight or for an hour on a hot dash top in the summer will not function properly or take a charge.

              Caterpillar’s current equipment will perform and produce better than similar models made years ago. However, when a unit is down, it’s down in a much more complex and longer way than a former mechanical unit due to all the electronics. A lot is due to electronics for vehicle exhaust emission control mandated by Uncle Sam.

              Cummins had to go to Motorola to design their engine emission control system to meet EPA requirements for their diesel fuel delivery system and combustion system. Cummins tried to design it in house and failed.

              Caterpillar elected not to make the approximately $2 billion investment in electronic emission control system upgrade over their ACERT system to meet Uncle Sam’s higher tier requirement and abandoned the huge on highway diesel engine business to the glee and joy of Cummins and Detroit Diesel. Cummins is now rocking big time now due to this. Just check their performance.

              Caterpillar in abandoning the on highway diesel engine business had to demolish a huge relatively new diesel engine plant in Mossville, Illinois that produced the very popular and accepted 3400 series on highway diesel truck engines that in their heyday were commanding 40+% of the North American Class 8 on highway truck market.

              Caterpillar’s dealer network also moaned due to their sunk investment in on highway truck service bays, facilities, tools, training, parts inventory and signage. They also had a vast sub net of on highway service dealers known as TEPS dealers ( Total Engine Parts and Service ). Some of these TEPS dealers had sunk investment in stand alone Caterpillar truck engine service facilities.

              This all goes back to required electronic emission control upgrades to satisfy the environmental movement, which we are now hell bent on satisfying with all electric vehicles. Wonder how EV’s are performing in Northern winter climates?

  7. When GM came out with the new body style trucks in 2019, they said truck buyers did not want a big screen. GM is the most delusional car company out there

    Reply
    1. No one ever said that truck customers didn’t want a big screen. All they said was that the interior was developed to be friendly for those wearing gloves. The truck market has changed a lot over the past few years, with trucks becoming increasingly personal vehicles more so than ever before. That calls for a modified product offering, hence the bigger screens in LT and above models and the seven inch screen for Work Truck, Custom and Custom Trail Boss.

  10. A well thought out design and execution. This puts the Silverado 1500 on par or slightly ahead of RAM 1500 in terms of appearance and function. This may swing me back to GM from RAM.

  11. Hope you can turn off the stop start function.

    1. For the life of me I do not understand this complaint. 10% better fuel economy (average usage) and cleaner air for everyone. I have never made it to the accelerator without the engine ready for me. What is the issue??

      Reply
  12. My personal opinion is that the infotainment screen on every car should be a similar to an Ipad. Something that can be replaced as technology advances. Otherwise you will have a perfectly functional vehicle with an out dated and probably no longer compatible infotainment. Electronic tech advances so much faster than vehicle tech.

  13. David W. Mitchell:
    An absolute AMEN to your suggestion. Replaceable / Insertable. Plug and play infotainment screen on front dash.

  14. Idk about that. Sounds like a recipe to bring back the glory days of getting your radio jacked. Probably a great route to squeeze more subscriptions and updates too.

    I’m fairly confident the radio would last the 10 years the frame will in Michigan at least 🤷

  15. Am I the only one who think the grille/headlight integration design looks like a Lobster/crab eyes???

    Reply
  16. Am I the only one who hates how skinny and awkward that screen is? I hated the overly condensed infotainment layout of the new Tundra and I hate this too. I also hate the console shifter. At least the materials should be better than the Tundra.

    Reply
  17. Anyone else think the grill on the Tundra is almost a carbon copy of the Blazer/GMC/GM
