The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

Chevy designed the Chevrolet Silverado for hardworking people. This heavy-duty truck can tow more than 10,000 pounds and carry tons of cargo in the back.  

The Silverado offers an exceptional Duramax diesel powertrain that generates 910lb-ft of torque. It does not matter the weight on the trailer; you can outfit the Silverado HD with advanced assists and various cameras to ease the job.  

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD and 2500HD are tools offering remarkable capabilities and brazen bold design. Its rivals include the RAM 3500, Ford F-350, and its twin, the GMC Sierra 3500HD.

The current generation of Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD clocks three years this year and there are some upgrades for the 2022 model to maintain competitiveness in the pickup truck category. One feature that has not changed is the standard 401 hp V8 and Duramax turbodiesel 6.6 liter V8 engine options.

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD has a six-position Multi-Flex tailgate standard in all trims. The only other heavy-duty truck with this feature is GMC, and another update is Greenstone metallic. Drivers can now equip the Custom trim with an adjustable power seat. 

The standard engine in the Silverado 3500HD is a 6.6-liter V8. This capacity enables the truck to generate 401 hp torque as high as 464 lb-ft, paired with a six-speed automated transmission.  

The Silverado 3500HD offers an optional Duramax diesel 6.6-liter V8 engine that produces 445 hp and 910 lb-ft for maximum capability. This transmission powers the rear wheels, but a four-wheel drive is standard on all models.  This truck can reach a top speed of 91 mph. The gas engine and the 6-speed automatic work well to control the truck's speed. The Duramax powertrain is perfect when hauling heavy loads, and Chevy designed it to move mountains with robust power and transmission. 

Just as the name suggests, we evaluate heavy-duty trucks by their ultimate towing and payload ratings. The Silverado 3500HD is the truck you purchase for the highest capability.  

Silverado HD's gas variant can tow 17,400 pounds, with diesel versions pulling 36,000 pounds. When it comes to payload capacity, the gas option gives more utility with a max capacity of 7,442 pounds, whereas the diesel variant can carry up to 6,523 pounds. 

Chevrolet trucks come with two-bed length options, including 8.2 feet or 6.8 feet. Both options measure 21 inches tall and 71.4 inches wide, which results in 69.6 cubic feet of load capacity in the standard bed, increasing to 83.5 cubic feet in the long bed. Depending on the model, the ultimate payload capacity varies from 4,013 pounds to 7,442 pounds. 

When it comes to interior storage options, the Silverado 3500HD has two cup holders at the front, two gloveboxes, and a big storage area beneath the middle armrest. Models that have rear seats have beneath the seat storage for small items. To create more space, you can fold down the rear seats in a 60/40 split. 

Chevrolet presents the Silverado 3500HD in four trim levels that are mentioned below. Read on to learn more about the standout features of each trim level.  

The name is an acronym for Work Truck, and it defines the purpose of this truck. Chevrolet designed this truck to work in challenging situations. The car has quality features that increase its functionality, including corner steps in the rear bumper. This feature makes it easier to access the truck's bed, especially when loading or unloading cargo.  

While it's pretty robust, the Work Truck contains features that offer comfort and a pleasant driving experience. It includes a 7-inch infotainment system with an Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to link your smartphone, enjoy your music and audiobooks, and navigate.  

Standout Features: 

• It has a Trailering package: that transmutes it into a hauling beast by increasing the towing capacity to an impressive 14,300 pounds.
• 18-inch steel wheels securely hold up the truck plus any car on it when driving. 

For truck buyers, the LT trim provides a cautious option. The LT is a mid-range truck with outstanding features that make it a practical truck. The Safety Package involves lane change warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic caution.  

The LT trim also has a Convenience Package that includes a rear defogger, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a 12V power outlet in the rear, and bucket seats with a power driver’s seat.  

Standout Features:

• EZ Lift and Lower Tailgate: it decreases the effort to raise and lower the tailgate, allowing for a more gradual and controlled lowering opening motion. The EZ Lift-and-lower tailgate is also easily removable.
• Remote no-key entry: it is part of the Chevrolet Accessories Keypad approach that uses a PIN to lock/unlock your 2022 LT without the key fob. 

The LTZ is pricier than the LT trim, but it also has more optional and standard features. It offers drivers an option to upgrade to an 8-inch infotainment system containing Bose Premium audio that delivers an authentic and lifelike listening experience you’ll enjoy with every ride. 

Chevy also added more Chrome accents on the door handles, camper mirrors, mirror caps, and across the body side molding. There is also a unique grille that makes the LTZ flamboyant gracefully. This truck is bound to turn heads as you cruise to work or on a family trip. 

Standout Features: 

• It has a hitch guidance system: which makes towing a lot easier.
• Remote vehicle starter system: This can also warm or cool your vehicle’s cabin before getting in for a more comfortable ride. 

The High Country trim takes the top position in the Silverado 3500HD model range. It is the most luxurious Silverado 3500HD available. Being at the top, it contains all features in the LTZ trim plus powerful features absent in the other trims. The High Country comes exclusively with a crew cab. It is the only trim where 4WD is standard which means that as luxurious as this truck is, you can also drive safely in challenging on-road and off-road conditions because of the superior traction. 

Another standard feature on the High Country model is a power tailgate that can lift and lower at the slight push of a button. This feature allows you to raise and lower your tailgate with just one hand electronically. You can use control options on your key fob inside the vehicle or a touchpad on the tailgate itself.
