2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Interior
How this truck’s interior looks depends significantly on the cab choice you make. You can either go with the regular, double, or crew cab. The Regular cab is ideal if you prioritize functionality for the job site. It seats up to three people in a single row.
If you need to transport family or friends in your cab, the double cab boosts your seating to six. The crew cab also seats six but offers you a lot more space in the second row. For example, the double cab has 35.2 inches of legroom in the second row, while the crew cab has 43.4 inches.
If you opt for one of the higher trims, the cab gets a luxury feel. You can include leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel.
You have two choices for cargo space: a long bed measuring 8 feet 2 inches in length or a standard bed measuring 6 feet 10 inches.
When it comes to infotainment, the Silverado 2500 HD boasts smartphone compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The Work Truck and Custom trims get a 7-inch entertainment screen, while the higher trims benefit from a larger 8-inch screen. Most 2500 HDs feature a six-speaker stereo. You can upgrade to a wireless hotspot so you can stay connected wherever your journey takes you, satellite radio, and wireless device charging.
The 15-inch digital instrument display could also prove useful. It projects information like your speed, safety alerts, and engine performance onto your windshield so you can keep track of your Silverado’s vital signs while you’re on the road.
2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Exterior Paint Colors
Chevy has added a new exterior paint color option for 2022: Greenstone Metallic. In addition, you can choose from the same options from previous years, including black, Northsky Blue Metallic, Oxford Brown Metallic, and Red Hot. The remaining color choices are Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White, Tangier Orange, and Wheatland Yellow.
2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD MPG
The EPA doesn’t test vehicles as large as the Silverado 2500 HD, so no official fuel economy numbers are available. However, the auto website Car & Driver performed its own tests on the 2500 HD’s gas and diesel engines. The 6.6-liter gas engine returned 14 mpg on the highway, while the diesel unit achieved 19 mpg.
2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Performance
The Chevy Silverado 2500 HD has a standard 6.5-liter V-8 gas engine with 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. The gas engine is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and is available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
The optional upgrade under the hood is a 6.6-liter V-8 diesel engine. It makes 445 horsepower and a remarkable 910 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission completes the diesel power train. The diesel is offered with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive as the gas engine. The diesel engine is likely your best choice if you regularly haul heavy loads.
2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Towing Capacity
The towing capacity of the 2022 Silverado 2500 HD is 18,500 pounds. You get this with the optional diesel engine. This Chevy manages to pull a still-impressive 17,370 pounds with the gas unit under the hood.
If you plan on hauling heavy loads in your cargo box rather than towing, the gas engine provides you with more hauling capability. With the gas engine and long cargo bed, the 2500 HD can haul loads of up to 3,979 pounds. The diesel’s upper hauling limit isn’t far behind at 3,715 pounds.
Chevy equips its heavy-duty truck with a great range of tech features to help make towing and hauling much easier. New for 2022 is a versatile six-function multi-flex tailgate designed to make loading and unloading your cargo box that bit easier. You can also benefit from cameras and other trailer safety features designed to keep you and other motorists safe on the road. The 15 available camera views will also come in handy when you’re backing up to a trailer, hitching up, or reversing your trailer into position to unload your cargo.
The Advanced Trailering System lets you create profiles for each type of trailer you tow. You can select the appropriate profile through your truck’s infotainment system.
