4 Things to Love About the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD
Hauling Capabilities
The Silverado is a powerful workhorse! With multiple engines, this bad boy can haul up to 13,300 pounds while maintaining smooth rideability. We absolutely love the split tailgate layout called “Multi-Flex”, which can be extended to increase your payload and allow for slightly longer or oddly shaped cargo. The maximum payload ranges from 1,870 to 2,280 pounds. These capabilities make this model an excellent option for your next RV camper vacation.
Safety Features
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 features fantastic safety technology so that you can drive calmly and confidently to every destination. The safety equipment built into this vehicle includes a rear cross-traffic alert, high-definition rear camera, lane departure and lane-keeping warnings, blind-spot assistance, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. You can also make use of the high-end “Super Cruise” hands-free technology on your touch screen. Every model of the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is equipped with 6 airbags.
Off-Road Performance
Off-roading is a top priority for the Silverado 1500, and the ZR2 is the first to come with Multimate 40 mm DSSC spool-valve dampers. Though every model has excellent cross-country capabilities, for maximum off-road performance, we suggest the High Country, Custom Trail Boss, or LT Trail Boss. These options include skid plates, automatic locking rear differential, and a 2-speed Autotrac Transfer Case. Depending on your needs, you can select hi and lo four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive.
Fuel Economy
As gas prices continue to soar, fuel economy is a top feature being sought out by our customers. A Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a diesel engine in two-wheel drive gives you the best-in-class fuel efficiency. This setup averages 23 miles per gallon on city roads and 33 miles per gallon when cruising along the highway.
