Taking home a pickup truck is no light decision. This is going to be your daily commuter, your reliable workhorse, and even a convenient storage spot on wheels. Whether you’re upgrading because your current truck isn’t cutting the mustard anymore, or you’re just curious about the latest power and tech in newer pickup models, consider the 2022 Silverado 2500 HD for your next truck. You might even be new to driving a pickup and want to test drive your options here at Parkway Family Chevrolet, your local Conroe Chevy dealer.
Whatever your reasons may be for driving a truck, choose the 2022 Silverado 2500 HD. This powerful upgrade from the standard, light-duty Silverado 1500 has grit to spare. While it’s still compliant enough to be your daily vehicle, the 2500 HD is far more capable and better equipped. The HD stands for “heavy-duty” after all, and this version of Chevy’s popular pickup truck certainly lives up to its name.
Are you a longtime Chevy Silverado fan? Have you dismissed a pickup like the Silverado 2500 HD, assuming that it has nothing to offer your lifestyle? Do you want to know what the 2022 model has in store? Here are the top 7 reasons everyone should drive the latest Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. If you don’t believe us, just pay us a visit and take one for a spin for yourself.
1 – The Most Usable Bed
Truck beds aren’t all created equal. Each model—and model year, in many cases—has different capacities and features. Fail to evaluate a truck’s bed, and you could end up with far less than you bargained for.
The 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD features the Durabed, which offers best-in-class cargo volume. That means it’s the most spacious bed among heavy-duty trucks, capable of holding over 80 cubic feet of cargo. Superior box depth and length maximize volume without tacking on too much bulk.
Not only is the Durabed spacious, but it features handy tools like 12 cargo tie-downs. Optional features include LED cargo area lighting for visibility at night and a 120-volt outlet compatible with many tools and electronics. Best of all, the new Silverado 2500 HD’s Durabed features a high-strength steel liner that’s resistant to scraping, scuffing, banging, and all manner of mistreatment.
2 – Great Payload Ratings
A spacious cargo bed is one thing. However, a good pickup truck should also have the power to transport heavy loads with ease. This is one area where the Silverado 2500 HD shines, with huge payload ratings as high as 3,979 pounds. That means this truck can haul the weight of a not-so-small vehicle in its bed! So, not only does this new heavy-duty Silverado hold more stuff, it has the power to haul it.
This level of versatility and freedom to haul isn’t just for construction workers or ranchers, either. Are you moving? The new Silverado 2500 HD is perfect for carrying your furniture, electronics, and boxes. Are you doing some home improvements projects, like re-tiling your bathroom or planting trees? Save on delivery fees and transport heavy loads yourself with total peace of mind.
3 – Did We Mention Towing?
Towing is the Silverado 2500 HD’s core skill set and one of the top determining factors when shoppers choose their truck. The 2500 HD tows more than ever before, with figures that compete with commercial trucks. We’re talking up to 18,510 pounds when properly equipped! That’s enough power to pull just about anything behind your Silverado! This pickup is as strong as its dominant front grille and aggressively boxy body would suggest.
Needless to say, this truck can handle any job, hence why it’s a favorite of farmers, contractors, and outdoor enthusiasts. What if you don’t own an RV or intend to pull a tractor? Owning a vehicle that can handle tough jobs is good for any driver. You’ll have more than enough power to help your neighbor out of trouble or tow your secondary vehicle to the auto shop.
4 – Excellent Performance
The 2022 Silverado 2500 HD isn’t just tough; it’s fun to drive. Choose from two unique powertrains, starting with a 6.6L V8 gas engine. This sports car-level motor provides this stout truck with 401 horsepower and 494 lb-ft of torque. This engine comes standard in the base model, so no extra cash is necessary.
Or, you can upgrade to the Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8, which ups your truck’s performance ratings. Sear through the open road with 445 horsepower and accelerate quickly with a whopping 910 lb-ft of torque. For example, you can zoom from 0 to 60 in under 8 seconds—in a pickup truck! The diesel option is tied to a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission for rugged reliability.
Even better, these performance ratings optimize towing and hauling jobs. High torque means this truck can fight back against grueling weight, stabilizing and normalizing your drive. In other words, your truck won’t feel like it’s testing its tow and payload ratings, even when it is.
For outstanding off-road performance, upgrade your Silverado with the Z71 Off-Road Package. This suite of ultra-durable upgrades, like 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires, makes for seamless driving on any surface. The upgraded suspension stabilizes your cabin and cargo, while underbody protection guards against rocks, potholes, and other hazards.
5 – Comfortable Cabin
What better way to enjoy the performance of a pickup than in a comfortable cabin? This cockpit is designed to keep you relaxed, even while your Silverado 2500 HD is doing the grunt work. Select one of three cabin configurations, ranging from the cozy regular cab to the spacious, two-row crew cab. Each features an expansive interior with best-in-class headroom and legroom.
The bare-bones WT is an affordable, entry-level model with a simplified yet comfortable interior. Those shopping for a business vehicle for strength and reliable transportation alone would appreciate this low-cost Silverado. However, with each trim level, you get a more comfortable, enhanced version of the pickup. Upgrade to features like heated and ventilated front seats, seatback storage cubbies, and enhanced climate control.
The top of the line High Country trim is elegant and refined, with fittings you’d expect from a luxury SUV. The cabin’s design is simple yet modern, while the lush upholstery is supportive enough for long road trips. Perforated leather and wood accent the cabin, and technology like 10-way, ergonomic seats remembers your ideal position.
6 – Entertainment and Control at Your Fingertips
The 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD is as high-tech as it is strong. Every single model comes with a 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for hands-free calling and messaging. Also, you can stream your favorite music, podcasts, news, and navigation apps directly via the touchscreen.
Each of the latest Silverados also comes with generous, innovative trailering features. These include rear parking assist, up to 15 camera views outside your Silverado 2500 HD, and more. Other safety features like automated emergency braking protect you, your cargo, and your passengers every time you drive. You can even connect your infotainment device with your phone to review trailering tools and data. This is a must for commercial drivers who want to optimize performance and safety.
The Multi-Flex tailgate, meanwhile, may be the most thoughtful bit of technology in any 2022 pickup. Configure your truck’s tailgate into one of six functions, including an elongated bed, work table, and step ladder. Whether you’re hard at work on the open road or out camping with your buddies, this tailgate perfects the truck bed.
7 – The Best Value of the Year
Despite all of the above features and more, the 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD starts at only $35,300.[a] While the smaller Silverado 1500 is priced lower, the 2500 HD does more, works harder, and defies limits. Suitable for playing in the mud, dominating a worksite, exploring the open road, turning heads in the valet lane, or making your way through busy morning traffic, this pickup does it all.
