Anyone looking for a heavy-duty pickup should have the 2022 Chevy Silverado HD on their shopping list. Whether you need the towing and hauling capabilities of an HD truck or you just want a truck that’s large and in charge, this Chevy truck can satisfy.
Before we break down the trims, we should point out the different variants of the Silverado HD that are available. There’s the 2500 HD and the more capable 3500 HD, which are very similar when it comes to feature content, as we’ll spell out below. Here are the four different cab options available:
- Regular Cab — A 2-door cab with a simple bench seat.
- Double Cab — The Double Cab models have back seats that are accessible with small back doors.
- Crew Cab — The Crew Cab has four full-size doors and a roomy back seat area.
- Chassis Cab — You can get a Chassis Cab with either a Regular Cab or a Crew Cab. Chassis Cab models do not have a bed and are mainly for commercial use.
On top of the different cab options, there are also standard and long box options depending on how much cargo space you need. All 2500 models come with a single-rear-wheel configuration, while the 3500 trucks can be had with single-rear-wheel or dual-rear-wheel (“dually”) layouts. Like all trucks in this segment, rear-wheel drive is standard and 4-wheel drive is optional.
All trims of the 2500 and 3500 models are available with either a 6.6-liter gas V8 or a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8.
Without further ado, let’s get into the available trims for the Chevrolet Silverado HD and find the right truck for you. See 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 models for sale or See 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 models for sale
