General Motors unveiled the refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 in September of 2021, followed by the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 in October of 2021. Production was originally slated to kick off on February 7th, but now, GM Authority has learned from sources familiar with the matter that production of the refreshed 2022 Silverado and 2022 GMC Sierra will be slightly delayed.
As it stands now, production of the refreshed 2022 Silverado and 2022 GMC Sierra will kick off at the GM Silao Assembly facility in Mexico on February 21st, rather than February 7th, as originally reported. Afterwards, production of the pickups will begin at the GM Fort Wayne Assembly facility in Indiana on March 14th, rather than March 6th.
The later production start dates will give General Motors additional time to properly set up mass production of these two critical nameplates in the current highly fluid and unpredictable operating environment. To note, the refreshed 2022 Silverado and refreshed 2022 Sierra were originally slated to debut early in the 2022 model year, but were delayed due to complications, resulting in the 2022 Silverado Limited and 2022 Sierra Limited.
As GM Authority reported earlier this month, the online configurator for the refreshed 2022 Silverado is expected to go live on March 3rd. The configurator was originally set to go live on January 5th, but was pushed back.
As for the specs, the refreshed 2022 Silverado and GMC Sierra will feature the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, which now produces 20 percent more torque for a total of 430 pound-feet. The two trucks will also offer the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. Under the skin is the the same GM T1 platform as the pre-refresh models.
In addition to the GM Silao Plant in Mexico the GM Fort Wayne Assembly facility in Indiana, the refreshed 2022 Silverado will also be produced at the GM Oshawa Plant in Canada in the spring of 2022.

You’re killing me smalls…
The refresh’s are ugly, time for another refresh.
What would Walter the cat say?
Meow?
Youre ugly, you should have a refresh
No surprise to anyone. Everyone predicted this, especially after the configurator availability delay.
No delays at Ford! To many excuses for there is a lot of inventory unsold on lots and with there engine problems RAM looks like the truck to purchase!
I would seriously walk or ride my Harley year round before I would even look at a Dodge
You’d be hard pressed to find a Dodge pickup: All have been RAMs for at least 10 years. Maybe you should take a look.
Actually Ford just announced major production shortages for this year, on top of Bronco and Maverick not hitting dealers. Looks like GM played chess this year as I’m seeing Malibu and Camaro hitting dealers now on top of the trucks with the microchips.
No chips no trucks! Get ready for the many GM EV delays. Promises promises!
What!!! The clouds and unicorns rhetoric coming from Mary & Co are not based on reality? I’m shocked!!!!
I have video evidence of Mary Barra throwing a whole box of microprocessors in the dumpster. Bring back Rick Waggoner.
Ford really seems to have screwed the pooch underestimating how many people would want Mavericks specifically. I think they had to shut orders down like five months ahead of schedule.
I’m still baffled at why anyone would want one.
What engine problems? Let me guess, you mean the small percentage that have lifter failures (many of which were neglect or incorrect oil) or that bad batch if valve springs that was handled months ago? Have you even checked the other brands and their major component issues? Apparently not…
I have a deposit on an allocated Yukon that will like will probably be built earlier than the new trucks now. Waiting 6-10 months for vehicles really sucks.
You only are waiting 6-10 months if you are foolish enough to buy these overpriced complicated new vehicles.
Sure, if you’re foolish enough to mess around with these “vehicles.” I’ll stick with a horse or penny-farthing.
I was taught long ago, ALWAYS KEEP MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL TIMES!!!.. no automatic free wheeling allowed .. it’s dumb to not be in control of the steering wheel..what a stupid feature..
They ever going to put out a picture of the refreshed 2022 GMC 1500 SLT ?
There are pics of the new SLT. Check the through the Siera se tion. It’s shown in red.
By the time any good quantity/supply of new trucks hit the dealers lots, it will be time to call it a 2023.
Idk why they just didn’t call it a 2023 . Rn you’d have to be an idiot to get this current gen limited Truck.
Why doesn’t GM sell the trucks that are made in the USA only? Have the Mexico plant make the international orders? Meanwhile ford makes it all in America
Because all the automakers are international companies. Please take off your nationalistic rose colored glasses.
Yeah and how did that global company manufacturing mindset work out?
Cough cough chip shortage cough cough.
Lithium shortage
PPE shortage 2 years ago
N95 shortage due to China dominating the market.
Moving manufacturing offshore is peak corporate stupidity as this pandemic has show and any company that still does it deserves to have their bottom line suffer.
That’s capitalism baybeeee.
If I buy another GM truck, it will be a USA-made one. Thankfully the HD’s are only made in Michigan.
My last two 1500s were made in Canada and Mexico, respectively.
Would order a Ford instead if that’s what it takes to get something made in the USA.
My 2019 Sierra Denali 1500 was built in Ft. Wayne Indiana.
Vin# starts with a 1
Silverado HDs are now also made in Oshawa, Canada.
Curious did you note any difference in quality between the Mexican and Canadian made trucks you owned?
My’22 3500 HD Duramax was ordered 10/1/21. It was made in Ontario Canada and has been on the “ready to ship list” now for almost 5 months………..wtf
It sucks when you have a truck that is made in Mexico. All the numbers are in Spanish.
Severely underrated comment lmao
Last year of current gen isn’t bad if you don’t need to have the new stuff. Although with the supply affecting price so much you’re probably right.
I bought a 2018 Silverado in December right after the 2019s hit the lot and saved so much cash. Like with GMS it was 39k for a 55k truck.
I have had two full size GM trucks made in Guanajuato Mexico and they have been amazing. Zero defects, fit and finish on par with my Mercedes. You can have the trucks from Fort Wayne Indiana or wherever else the employees are strung out and sabotaging the production line.
This is becoming a Joke it will 2023 until they get these trucks out the new the Phrase is Reserve your spot maybe then sometime in the future you can order one
My honest advice….if you don’t absolutely need a new vehicle (as in, your current ride is wrecked or completely unreliable), you should wait until this production picture improves.
There is a lot of price gouging right now. And as production ramps up, the people who paid those markups for new or used vehicles are going to end up with a ride whose value is at risk of plummeting very quickly.
You don’t buy a truck as an investment. So if you need a truck, you either buy used, get a LTD or wait. Those are the options if you want a Chevy. There are other options, such as Ford or Dodge, or the Jap trucks. Like mentioned above, all makers have issues either production, parts, etc…
So basically we are not going to see them until September/October.
Should have called it a ’23 model.
They’ll be on the ground by mid-March with production kicking off 2/21.
Cole at Genesis Chevrolet; So what is the factory telling the dealerships for lead-time when they order a new truck? 12-14 weeks?
I loterally just asked a dealership her in Jackson, MS today and he said 8-10 weeks
Seems like people just can’t wait to play with that google screen it’s pretty sad no wonder there’s so many wrecks distracted driving . Just build me a reliable truck and keep the gadgets on
I was debating between the Ram Rebel Diesel and the Sierra AT4 duramax but now I’m leaning more and more towards Ram even tho I would prefer the Sierra. It’s delay after delay with these guys and Consumer Reports says this gen will be the least reliable of all the trucks so…..
Ummm the Ecodiesel is a pile of garbage. Only the Cummins is worth getting in the Ram.
Or the 3.0 Duramax in the Silverado/Sierra.
Ironic that the most reliable engines today are all straight sixes.
Not true
You can’t say any of the V8’s built today are as reliable as straight sixes. Especially ones with AFM or DOHC.
Then again when those timing chains fail get back with me.
Go try that Dodge Ecodiesel and let us know how that works out for you. Better yet, buy one as you deserve that for citing CR as a reference….
Go ahead and buy a Ram, let me know how that tranny is in 50k miles.
Imagine being dumb enough to trust consumer reports on reliability ratings on a vehicle that haven’t even been built yet.
Sorry but that ZF 8 speed in the Ram is renowned for being a great transmission and used across multiple platforms by several manufacturers.
The heavy refresh was supposed to be 2021…then 2022, then late 2022 and now really late 2022. Just call them 2023.
Does anybody know how the production is split between Mexico, Indiana, and Canada? Is it based on trim or delivery location or something else?
Can anyone verify if factory orders get priority?
Anyone have/know of a dealership that is charging invoice pricing on GMC Sierras?
Bonus points if in Texas but willing to travel
Herrin Gear Chevrolet in Jackson, MS
Just spoke to them today…then again that was for a factory order…not sure if it’s the same if you’re buying something off the lot
I ordered a trail boss on December 16 and wondering when I’ll get it
I ordered a trail boss ltd on December 16 wondering when or if it will be built
Is there a way to insure my order is built at the Fort Wayne facility not the Silao plant??
In a word, no.
Im gonna buy something else…Getting a little inpatient.
In Alberta Canada when will you be able to put your orders in?
YouTube GM En General Motors #ElCamiino 2022 MCE lines up and running in Mexico
What video is this on YouTube? What’s the name of the video?
Are canadian orders getting accepted yet?
GM and Ford have both had so many supply chain issues lately…..
When are shareholders going to start holding leadership responsible for creating this vulnerability for these companies?
Does anyone have any insight into how reliable the 2.7L I-4 is over time? They still seem very rare.
Do the AFM/DFM issues plaque that little engine like they do with the 5.3L and 6.2L V8s?
I got my order acceptance today with a target production week of 3/28 for the new AT4
I am still waiting for a 3.0 Duramax Sierra. TPW shows as 9/13/2021.
Is the current timeline still on track? Ordered a ’22 gmc sierra refresh on Feb 7 in Alberta Canada and still havent got a build code yet?
I just checked with someone on the Chevy website. They say the 2/21 schedule is still a go. And my order is still scheduled to be done on the week of March 7th! 🙂
What happens when ft Wayne changes to the refreshed model wil they still fill orders for the limited Silverado or will I be told to go pound sand
