The Chevrolet Silverado HD underwent a complete overhaul (redesign and re-engineering) when the 2020 Silverado HD entered the market. The model then received some minor changes and updates for 2021, and sees small changes again for the 2022 model year, which represents the third production year for the fourth-generation of the nameplate.
For those who may not be familiar with the product, the Silverado Heavy Duty line includes 2022 Silverado 2500HD models as well as 2022 Silverado 3500HD models.

Production
Production of the 2022 Silverado HD will commence during the first quarter of 2022.
As of 2019, Silverado HD models have been assembled at the Flint plant in Michigan, USA. Additionally, the Oshawa plant in Canada is currently only building Chevrolet Silverados. Production began with the Silverado HD in November. In the spring of 2022, Oshawa will begin producing Silverado 1500s, timed with the launch of the refreshed model announced earlier this year. This will make Oshawa the only GM plant to exclusively produce Silverado models, and the only plant making both light and heavy duty trucks.
