The fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 made its official debut last September, revealing a long list of changes and updates for the light duty pickup truck. Now, however, GM Authority has learned that the refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado’s power-folding trailering mirrors are currently unavailable to order.
The full name of the feature in question is power-folding/manual-extending, power-adjustable vertical trailering mirrors with heated upper glass, lower convex mirrors, turn signal indicators, puddle lamps, perimeter lighting, auxiliary lighting and memory, and is tagged with RPO code DQS. It is currently unclear as to why this feature is unavailable to order for the refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500.
The DQS power-folding trailering mirrors option is normally offered on ZR2, LTZ, and High Country trim levels for an extra $260. The feature is not offered on Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, or LT Trail Boss trim levels.
The DQS power-folding trailering mirrors option is not to be confused with the manual-folding/extending, power-adjustable vertical trailering mirrors with heated upper glass, lower convex mirrors, integrated turn signals, clearance lamps and auxiliary lighting feature, the latter of which is tagged with RPO code DPO. The latter feature is still available to order, and is offered as an optional upgrade for Work Truck, LT, RST, and LT Trail Boss. The latter manual-folding feature is not available on Custom, Custom Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ, or High Country trim levels.
Summed up, there are currently no trailering mirrors available for the higher trim levels of the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500.
As a reminder, the fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is available with four powertrain options, including the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine (now uprated at 430 pound-feet of torque), the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. Under the body panels is the GM T1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Silao Plant in Mexico, the GM Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana, and the GM Oshawa Plant in Canada.

::: Please GM … Sketchmonkey just made a design refit of a Sedan Cadillac with Lyriq front… Great to post here
Problem is the EV Grille imo should be chromed but lets see what others say Regards
Ok, there’s no denying it, those huge mirrors make this thing look awesome! Can’t wait too see the HD version GM is supposedly working on.
I found out mid-February the tow mirrors were no longer an option for the GMC Sierra I built. In addition, GM changed the order configuration without telling the dealership even though our order was accepted in mid-December. I only caught wind of it when I was playing with Costco’s auto configurator and asked the dealership about it. The dealership was shocked I found out before they did as nothing was communicated to them until the week after. No mention of retrofit or anything, just changed the configuration and scheduled the build date assuming I was okay with it.
Does this affect the Silverado 2500HD/3500HD as well? I ordered a 2500HD High Country last month, hoping it will be completed by late May. These larger trailering mirrors are important to me. If my truck doesn’t come in as ordered, I’ll simply hold onto my Ford.
What a mess this company is in. I guess that means more car mirrors to match the new car dash. LOL , no communication from the factory to dealers , insane
I ordered a 2022 refreshed Denali 3.0 dieselq expecting as read it can tow 13,000lbs to find out I can’t get max tow package on Denali AT4 and ultimate , I had to dealer about it, dealer had no idea
I have Silverado High Country 2500HD on order. I asked my dealer about this yesterday and he says he hasn’t heard anything. Makes one wonder how customers can easily find information about manufacturer changes yet the dealers seem not to know anything about them.
Hi Dan! Dealer here. I was aware of this 1500 change before my customers. I lost one of my orders over it. I’m really frustrated. GM hasn’t communicated a reason or offered a retrofit or anything, which is insane, but they did communicate it with us before building the orders.
HDs have not been affected as of yet. In fact I haven’t seen an HD with little mirrors on this generation. Only a small handful on the previous generation.
Thanks!
Build Chevrolet in US not Mexico!
Build Chevrolet in US by Union workers not in Mexico! Let’s get some pride in our country
I agree with you, except that the ones built in Mexico have tended to be more reliable than the ones built at home. As the configurations are a little bit different we can’t draw a conclusive causative relationship from that, but it at least gives you pause. (I’m pro-union in theory, but also recognize that any organization can become corrupt and ultimately work against its own best interests.)
Entitlement is the downfall of the workers in the plants in America. Mexican workers have more pride in what they do.
The handouts and stay at home for the scamdemic have ruined the young people in the workforce. The automotive industry as a whole is a train wreck not only in skilled labor, but finding hard working people.
The collision industry is an absolute mess.
Turn off the right wing media and spend some time in the real world.
NOT HAPPY about this. not sure I will take my LTZ I have ordered! They should tell us they will be available down the road. We tow with our trucks! Da!
Same here. If my new 2500HD High Country comes in without electronic trailering mirrors, I will not accept it. I bought this truck for towing. As I’ve stated before, I’ll just hold onto my Ford a bit longer.
I don’t know why they not available for the 1500 trucks. They are virtually the same as the HD mirrors, the only difference is the shape of the base mounted to the door because the 1500’s have the body line on the door that the base has to follow. Frustrating when you order a $65,000 LTZ and you can’t get what you want. Was only a $260 option when ordering the truck and now will have to spend about $1200 to get a pair from Boost auto. God bless them for making an attempt to please the costumers out there.
