Everyone is excited about the upcoming arrival of the new 2022 Chevy Silverado, but industry disruptions mean the new trucks aren’t expected to arrive here on our lot for a couple more months. However, we are thrilled to be able to say Chevy has a plan in place to continue building new trucks until their suppliers are ready to build the new 2022 design. If your old truck needs replacing right away and you need a new truck to keep your business or home projects going, visit North Park Chevrolet, your Castroville Chevy dealership, for the 2022 Silverado LTD. This limited-production model has all the great features and design elements as the 2021 Silverado, and will be offered until production begins on the refreshed 2022 model. Buyers ready for a new truck can find the 2022 Silverado LTD at North Park Chevrolet now.

Powerful Engines

Every Silverado LTD has engine options to provide our Castroville customers with a choice of powertrains suited to the job at hand. Starting with the entry-level WT trim, the standard engine is the exceptional turbocharged 2.7-liter I4, which delivers 310 hp with 348 lb-ft of torque. Using this engine and its eight-speed automatic transmission with fuel-saving technology, the 2022 Silverado LTD can tow up to 9,300 pounds. The Custom and Custom Trail Boss trims also come standard with the I4 engine, though now the WT trim can option the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine as well.

With the 5.3-liter V8, output increases to 355 hp with 383 lb-ft of torque for serious capability. Towing up to 11,500 pounds is available with this powertrain, which comes standard starting with the LTZ trim level, and it is also paired to the eight-speed automatic transmission. Rising in the ranks of the most potential capability, buyers can option the 6.2-liter V8, which makes an incredible 420 hp with 460 lb-ft of torque. Such a dynamic engine means you gain the most muscle from your Silverado LTD for towing up to 13,300 lbs. For smooth gearing, this engine comes paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission.

Finally, the available Duramax 3.0-liter I6 diesel engine is the most fuel-efficient of the offerings for the Silverado LTD, rated for 31 MPG highway and rivaling the efficiency of many smaller vehicles on the road today. As quiet as it is tough, the Duramax will surprise you with its capable efficiency perfectly suited to either country drives or tackling hard work. A towing capacity of up to 9,500 lbs is available for the Duramax, and this engine is an option for most trims starting with the LT and above.

To make trailering simpler, Chevy offers its Advanced Trailering System through a segment-first in-vehicle app that tracks all your trailering profiles, including trailer weight, tire pressure, and checklists for road readiness. Even better, Chevy syncs all your trailering data with your mobile app so you can easily keep tabs on your trailer from anywhere.

Technology Makes Work More Like Play

Once upon a time, trailering duty took serious attention to detail to avoid accidents or even just connect the hitch, and often had to be done with more than one person to get the job done right. Now, Chevy has up to 15 camera views available for the 2022 Silverado LTD to make hitching, towing, and driving as easy as child’s play. With the use of eight available cameras, the Silverado LTD has you covered for everything from your cargo in the bed to a mind-boggling “transparent trailer” so you can see through your trailer when you need to know what’s behind you!

Imagine the simplicity of hitching your trailer when you have the available hitch view camera that lets you zoom in for close-ups to see whether or not your hitch is lined up with your trailer. An available rear “top down” view allows you to see how much clearance you have between your truck and nearby objects so you can squeeze through tight areas without concern. Select the available front camera view armed with guidelines that clearly show how you line up with your parking space, and you can avoid objects you couldn’t see below the hood. A pic-in-pic camera view gives you side and rear views of your Silverado at the same time, so you can watch the curb and the bumper at once.

Having a camera inside your trailer can make keeping an eye on your cargo as easy as pressing a button, or use the rear trailer view to act as a rearview camera for parking duty or backing up safely. Chevy even provides a rearview camera mirror for real-time views of what you would see through the back window of your truck, even if your bed is piled high with cargo. Of course, the Surround View camera system still gives you the “bird’s eye” view from above your Silverado, so you can see 360 degrees around your truck to scan the full perimeter. With so much tech to assist with trailering, the 2022 Silverado LTD will make your work seem like play in Castroville, or anywhere you travel.

Innovative Features to Get Jobs Done

Every 2022 Silverado LTD is loaded with features that make your job quicker and easier when it comes time to use your truck for hauling or off-roading. When using the bed for cargo, the Silverado LTD has twelve standard tie-downs that allow flexible securing of your loads, regardless of their size or shape. You have just over 89 cubic feet of volume in the bed when choosing the long box, and that amount of space is unrivaled in the segment for hauling duty. As handy as these features may be, one of the most inventive features available for the Silverado LTD is the Multi-Flex tailgate.

No other truck brand in the industry offers a tailgate that folds into a wide step for sturdy, safe bed access or that can be reconfigured to serve as a second loading tier for supplies in the bed. An extra gate can be lifted to provide security for items laid on top of the folded tier or lower the gate to use the tier as a standing desk or work area. When you need to load from the ground into the bed, fold the center of the tailgate down so you can get closer to the bed to place items in the box. There are so many useful ways the Multi-Flex tailgate can be utilized for simplifying transport and loading of cargo, and only Chevy Silverado trucks can provide this tool for your workday. The Multi-Flex tailgate is now available across the lineup for every buyer who wants one!

Other handy features like trailer sway control, hill start assist, and auto grade braking make trailering both safer and easier, but Chevy takes trailering tech even farther with several other features available within the trims. The electric parking brake hookup assist feature automatically sets the parking brake to prevent your truck from rolling when the hitch view is active. This keeps your Silverado from unintentionally moving so you can focus on the work at hand. A trailer theft alert feature can send you a warning through your phone or in-vehicle app to let you know someone may be tampering with your hitch or attempting to access your trailer when you travel away from home. You can then use the available cameras to view what’s happening in real-time.
