Until the upcoming redesigned truck hits the market, the 2022 Chevy Silverado LTD remains the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. This full-size, light-duty truck is ready for action and it’s here right now!
What is the 2022 Chevy Silverado LTD?
The Silverado LTD or Silverado Limited 1500 is essentially the 2022 version of last year’s truck. That is, it’s an official placeholder that’s available until the upcoming redesigned Silverado 1500 comes out.
Compared to the 2021 Silverado 1500, the 2022 Silverado LTD drops the base V6 powertrain in favor of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. By Comparison, the turbocharged four-cylinder is both more powerful and more efficient than the outgoing base V6. Otherwise, this Silverado truck will look very familiar.
Why choose the 2022 Chevy Silverado LTD?
If you don’t have time to wait for the upcoming redesigned Silverado 1500, then the Silverado LTD is the right choice for you. Grab one of these all-American trucks because you’re in need of a powerful performer with impressive off-road potential (thanks to options like four-wheel drive).
You’ll also love how many options are available for these full-size trucks, including three cabin sizes (regular, extended, and crew) and three bed sizes (the 8-foot, 6.5-foot, and 5-foot-8-inch bed). There are also eight trim models, making it easy to balance your budget with the comfort and convenience features that you crave.
Which engines are available?
The main difference between the 2022 Silverado LTD and the previous version of this full-size truck is that the new model comes standard with the thrifty turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The 4.3-liter V6, which was standard on previous trucks, has been discontinued.
The Silverado LTD is available with one of four engines:
- 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder engine (310 hp, 348 lb-ft)
- 5.3L V8 engine (355 hp, 383 lb-ft)
- 6.2L V8 engine (420 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- 3.0L turbodiesel inline-6 engine (277 hp, 460 lb.-ft.)
For the thriftiest ride, choose the turbodiesel engine, which helps the Silverado LTD earn up to 26 mpg combined (23 city/31 highway). For the most capable ride, choose the 420-horsepower V8, which can help you tow and haul major weight.
What’s the difference between the 2022 Silverado LTD and Silverado?
The upcoming 2022 Silverado 1500 will be fully redesigned, and, like we mentioned previously, the 2022 Silverado 1500 LTD is a carryover of last year’s model. While the Silverado LTD is intended to be a placeholder for drivers who need a new Silverado right now, the upcoming redesigned truck will be stronger, with new tech features, and an all-new off-road-dedicated trim model, the Silverado ZR2.
