So many of our valued customers here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse are crazy about trucks, and there are so many reasons to feel that just that way right now. As spring hits and all of the off-road bounty we enjoy here in Missouri as well as farms and job sites rev back to full life, many contractors, ranch hands, and mud-road enthusiasts alike are getting down to business and selecting the perfect new truck for their needs.
As seen on the GM Authority blog last week, recent spy photos of the refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 clearly depict the revised front fascia styling. It will boast all-new headlamp designs and a completely restyled front air curtain, varying slightly from the original 2019 model year. It's a bit of a stretch to get a full glimpse of it when it's hidden under the Camo, it appears that these new air curtains will have a design that is sculpted directly into the outer edges of the front fascia. At first glance, It appears that this will provide an overall cleaner and finished look than the slightly choppier ones that are incorporated into the current model's design.
Inside, the 2022 Chevy Silverado will hit the scene with a completely overhauled cabin layout decked out with a new and larger infotainment screen, with some models removing the column-mounted shifter. You'll also enjoy a more robust and finely-tuned rear suspension, the pressure from both Ram and Ford has made us realize that we will have to be certain that the Silverado will deliver in areas such as this! It could also be predicted that a new Silverado ZR2 will join the lineup alongside a potential hybrid or electric trim level which would offer more options.
Available with seven engine and transmission combinations, the 2021 Silverado is an awesome truck-lovers spectacle to behold, and check out for an in-depth test drive! It's offered with a single, double, or crew-cab body style, and can be paired with a 70-inch short bed, 79-inch standard bed, or 98-inch long bed. There are three awesome axle ratios to pick from, as well as two or four-wheel drive.
What do we think is one of the best combinations for the current model? The 3.0-Liter Duramax turbodiesel I6 with the ten-speed transmission and 4WD. Cranking out 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, this pickup gets off the line quickly and will hum along ideally and comfortably at highway speed. A cargo bed camera makes it super easy to hook up a fifth-wheel trailer, and the TrailBoss trim provides a 2-inch lift ready for the clearance needed during off-road challenges, beefy 32-inch tires, and an automatic locking rear differential.
