2022 Chevy Silverado

Over the last few weeks, GM Authority has exclusively reported all kinds of juicy details about the refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500. For instance, we told you when order books will open, when production will begin, and that the refreshed truck will be offered in a new configuration. Now, we have another ripe exclusive about the updated truck, this time in the form of GM’s internal timeline for the 2022 Silverado launch cadence:

November 29^th, 2021 – order guide goes live
December 2^nd, 2021 – orders open for dealers (quick order tool)
December 15^th, 2021
- Online configurator goes live without pricing
- Pricing goes live for dealers, but might not include all packages and options
December 16^th, 2021 – first order cycle
January 5^th, 2022 – online configurator live with pricing
February 7^th, 2022 – Regular Cab and Crew Cab production beings
March 6^th, 2022 – Double Cab production begins

As you can see, the excitement for buyers of Chevy‘s full-size light duty pickup truck begin will on Monday November 29^th. That’s when GM will publish the order guide. Shortly thereafter, order books will open for dealers via the quick order tool on December 2^nd. Two weeks after that, on December 15^th, the online configurator will launch, but it will not contain pricing information. Instead, pricing details will be made available to dealers, though these might not include all packages and options. The following day, on December 16^th, GM will conduct the first order cycle for the refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500. The online vehicle configurator will then gain pricing details on January 5^th, 2022.

Production of the Regular Cab and Crew Cab models will begin on February 7^th, 2022. Then Double Cab will begin on March 6^th, 2022.

If you are looking for a 2022 Chevy Silverado, please contact Ron Westphal Chevrolet’s Customer Care Team at 630-898-9630.

With those dates in mind, it’s worth noting that GM has pushed back production dates of most of its vehicles as a result of the ongoing global semiconductor microchip shortage, along with other disruptions to the automaker’s supply chain. As such, keep in mind that all of these dates are subject to change.

In the meantime, production of the “stop-gap“, pre-refresh 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited began on October 4^th at the GM Silao plant in Mexico and on October 11^th at the GM Fort Wayne factory in Indiana. However, these Limited (or LTD) models will be discontinued once the refreshed trucks go into production, something GM Authority was also first to report.

As a reminder, the refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 differs substantially from the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited, with the Limited model bridging the gap between the pre-refresh 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 and refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500. The reason for the existence of the Limited model is that the refreshed Silverado 1500 was originally slated to arrive early in the 2022 model year, but was then delayed due to a variety of business complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup made its debut on September 9^th, introducing a long list of highly-anticipated changes and updates over the preceding 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Limited models. Perhaps the biggest change to the refreshed model is a new interior for the fourth-generation Chevy Silverado 1500, which was introduced for the 2019 model year. The new cabin can be found on LT trim, and higher – which includes LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country and the new-for-2022 ZR2 models.

The new cockpit now includes a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster plus a 13.4-inch center infotainment touchscreen running a range of Google-powered infotainment features such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility continues to be included.

Making the list of tech options is the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver-assist system. It will be optional on the range-topping Silverado High Country trim. Notably, Super Cruise in the 2022 Chevy Silverado will also offer trailering capabilities. Additionally, Chevy Safety Assist will be standard on all trim levels of the refreshed truck. The suite includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high beams.

On the outside, the refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 features a revamped front fascia, including new headlights with animated walk-up and walk-away features along with swiping turn signals on certain trims. Three new exterior colors join the lineup: Dark Ash, Sand Dune, and Glacier Blue Metallic.

The 2022 Silverado 1500 refresh also introduces an updated version of the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine. The boosted four-cylinder, which replaces the deleted 4.3L V6 LV3 engine to become the standard powerplant on the Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT (LT and 2FL), and RST, now features 20 percent more torque for a total of 420 pound-feet. Additionally, models equipped with the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine get an increase in towing capacity of up to 13,300 pounds thanks to the newfound availability of the Max Trailering Package (NHT) with the diesel powerplant.

The atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 and 6.2L V8 L87 remain unchanged, with the 5.3L delivering 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, while the 6.2L putting out 420 horses and 460 pound-feet. Both of these engines feature Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM). Meanwhile, the 5.3L V8 L82 with Active Fuel Management (AFM), previously used on entry-level models, is being deleted from the refresh.

More big news for the refreshed 2022 Silverado is the introduction of the first-ever 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 as Chevy’s new flagship off-road offering to slot above the popular Silverado Trail Boss.

The new Silverado ZR2 features a high-approach steel front bumper with removable end caps, which gives the truck a more aggressive exterior appearance and enables a 31.8-degree approach angle. Other off-road-focused equipment includes 18-inch off-road alloy wheels wrapped in 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires and additional underbody skid plates.

Mechanically, the new Silverado ZR2 features front and rear e-lockers, a taller ride height, and Multimatic DSSV dampers. Finally, the exit area for the dual exhaust system has been relocated behind the rear wheels, reducing the chance that it will get dented or damaged when off-roading.

The only available engine option in the new Silverado ZR2 will be the aforementioned 6.2L V8 L87 engine mated to the standard GM 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. A new Terrain Mode setting, also standard, allows for one-pedal driving on trails, particularly useful when rock crawling.

Consumer Reports rates Chevy Trailblazer #1

The Chevy Trailblazer subcompact crossover is tied for the most reliable new vehicle on sale today, according to Consumer Reports.

The publication recently published an article entitled ‘Who Makes the Most Reliable New Cars?’, which uses its own survey data to determine which new vehicles experience the least number of reliability-related problems.

If you are looking for a new or used SUV, please visit Ron Westphal Chevrolet in Aurora/Oswego, IL. Or, call our Customer Care Team at 630-898-9630.

In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, the Chevy Trailblazer tied with the Lexus GX as the most reliable vehicle on sale today. This is surprising, as the Chevy Trailblazer is a fairly recent addition to the automaker’s lineup, and brand new vehicles often experience some reliability-related teething problems early in their lifecycle. The GX SUV is also one of the longest-running vehicles offered by the ultra-reliable Lexus brand, so the fact that the Trailblazer has proven to be equally as dependable is impressive.GM had a strong showing in this study, with the top four most reliable domestic vehicles all being from one of the automaker’s four brands. This includes the Chevy Trailblazer, of course, along with the Buick Envision, Chevy Silverado 2500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD.

Thanks for reading about how Consumer Reports rates Chevy Trailblazer #1.

Ground clearance explained

The Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban are all-new for the 2021 model year, introducing a wealth of updates and features, including GM’s Adaptive Air Ride suspension. Now, we’re taking a closer look at this suspension technology and how it affects ground clearance for both SUVs.

Looking for a full-size SUV? Call Ron Westphal Chevrolet in Aurora/Oswego, IL 630-898-9630 or visit their website.

To note, the Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban offer Adaptive Air Ride suspension on 2021 and newer Z71 and High Country trim levels. The suspension provides numerous settings that are well-suited for a range of scenarios, both while driving, and while parked.

Listed from the lowest setting to the highest setting, these include:

Entry-exit ground clearance
Normal ground clearance
Increased ground clearance
Maximum ground clearance

Ride height adjustability varies several inches between each of the suspension modes, providing either easier ingress and egress, such as with the lowest entry/exit ground clearance selectable by the driver, or enhanced off-roading capabilities in maximum ground clearance mode, selectable when driving at low speeds in 4WD LO.

What’s more, the system will self-adjust, such as by lowering the ride height while cruising on the highway, enhancing aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in the process. Additionally, the system includes a self-leveling feature that will automatically adapt with four-corner load-leveling when packed up with cargo and passengers.

The question is, exactly how much ground clearance is provided with each mode? As it turns out, the ride height adjustments on offer with the Adaptive Air Ride suspension can significantly impact ground clearance, ranging from just 6 inches in the lowest setting and 10 inches with the highest setting.

Check out the table below for a complete breakdown of ground clearance figures for Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban models equipped with Adaptive Air Ride suspension:

2021+ Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban Adaptive Air Ride Ground Clearance

Worst Corvette Color Combination

It is a universally agreed-upon fact (amongst the voices in my head, anyway) that the C7’s best interior choice was Adrenaline Red, and its best paint option was Sebring Orange… but, because of this annoying color theory thing, perspective owners were forced to make the difficult choice between the two when the time to order came a-knocking. That is, of course, unless you were one shameless customer in Massachusetts who threw complementary colors to the wind and spec’d their C7Z with the best of both worlds. Now, you, dear Corvette Blogger reader, have the chance to be owner number two of this collision of worlds. The worst corvette color combination

Up for grabs from Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Millbury is a 2019 2LZ Z06 Coupe with 3,045 miles, Spectra Gray Wheels, the Z07 Ultimate Performance Package, and a 7-speed manual transmission. It sounds like a perfect build, and that’s exactly what I thought when this bad boy showed up in my Autolist feed. So, what if the red calipers weren’t quite right for an orange car? It happens more often than you’d think, and this thing was the rare find one that was seemingly built just for me! Then, in picture four, more of that clashing red started to peer out from behind the glass. Could it be? A scrolling fury revealed what I had feared, the Adrenaline Red that made Arctic White pop like never before was slathered on the dash, doors, and seats, combining with the orange doorsill to burn my retinas like George Costanza’s shirt.

The worst Corvette color combination? On the positive side, this final year, C7Z has all of the best options, meaning that it will be the best possible way to experience the 650-horse Corvette. It is also all-but-guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind build, meaning it could lead to some curiously high bidding at Mecum in 25 years. In fact, the orange over red motif might take its place next to Napoleon Dynamite on the “so bad, it might actually be good” list. At the very least, this Z will start conversations everywhere you go, even somewhere like “the Bash,” where jaded patrons think they have seen everything!
