I love the mountains behind the Chevy. Very nice backdrop for your detailed briefing of the Silverado. I'm also glad Chevrolet took a page from Ram on its interior. Chevy had a lackluster interior for a long time. It was long over due.
All of these new vehicles with crazy tech are just electrical nightmares...I traded my tech-filled SUV with gremlins galore for a very basic Ram 1500 Big Horn and it's been awesome.
These turn signals do a little dance. What's the price when it fails? Years ago, a $5 blinker worked fine, and was easy to replace as no comnputers were involved. A while back I saw a car with half of the LED rear light dead. I wondered at the repair cost, and did he have to buy the pair or just 1 at a higher price? I wish the KISS Method applied, rather than "look what we can do".
Coming from a GM fan, it's about time they refreshed that god awful interior, but no I'm not going to trade my 19 Ram for this or a Sierra. If I were I'd go with the Sierra, but it's simply not a big enough upgrade to warrant trading. Like always, GM is late to the party, the other trucks did GREAT interior refreshes years ago.
I had 2 lemon dodges this year my last 1 is a 2020 has 64k on it and I'm stuck buying a new motor and I think the Trans is going next taking a look while the motor is out but I said screw it and got a rst and the Chevy is way nicer than my ram
Maybe I’m just used to driving slow vehicles but my 5.3 feels powerful enough to get the job done. Am I going to hook up a 12,000 lb trailer to it? Probly not
Ben, You never fail to deliver the the goods in a review. No BS, goods photos and you always show us a good look at the engine. You keep improving with each vlog. And, you do it all by yourself. Keep up the great work. The. Silverado piece was spot on.
A friend bought a fleet of new 21’ GMCs Sierra-been in and out of shop for rear end issues and multiple trucks have had the entire interior just go black while driving down the road. Chevy hasn’t been the same since 2008
Just received my Refreshed Silverado Trail Boss with the 5.3L. Only driven 150 miles but so far am really impressed with most features. The touch screen and the console shifter are awesome. Have had 5 Rams in the past 20 years with really no issues and around 800,000 miles without any major component failure. However, the cost of this one is significantly less money than I could have purchased a Ram equipped similarly. We will see how it goes! Thanks for doing Ben!
Nice interior update. Exterior however is ugly! The Pre-refresh front end was so much better, I'd even go as far to say it was perfect. It captured the classic Silverado look, but with a modern twist/ finish to it. The Refreshed front end doesn't resemble a Silverado at all. All the key Silverado design cues have been completely removed. GMC won the Refresh this time round, by a long shot too.
Nice upgrades..can’t wait to see some of the more loaded ones. I just sold my 19 Silverado rst for a Ram because the seats were horrible…looks like they changed the front seat cushion design…that’s a good thing they figured that out.
Traded my 19 rst for a loaded 17 ram rebel much better truck for the same money. Had so many issues when I owned thats Silverado. Also the quality and cabin on that truck was super basic for the price.
@@andrewmedanich2844 I know right. I traded in an ‘18 Camaro SS in on my Ram 1500. I wanted to stay loyal to the Chevrolet brand but getting a premium interior required north of 50k without rebates or incentives being offered at the time, which just wasn’t a smart buy. I ultimately chose the RAM because it was better looking, had comparatively more standard horsepower & a higher displacement V8, plus the material quality and interior finishes were better than in the Chevy, and a Ford, might I add. Ford is no better IMO. My brother just bought a new F150 and although he has an ipad sized screen and 5 more horses under the hood, the basic interior could use an upgrade and doesn’t justify its 51k MSRP. Ford & Chevy are scamming folks so badly that the manufacturers have asked dealers to quit overcharging customers. The pandemic is responsible for this; Currently Dodge is offering the better deals and reliability on their indestructible pickup trucks
@@dougedoug2105 oh I agree the Rebels even the second gen are comparable in price to the RST platform and still have better interiors. Chevy and Ford both have been so cheap with their matierials and even the metals on their trucks which are thin and dent super easily. You pay more for way less quality and longevity. If my tranny or engine blows I simply get another one since the rest of the truck is gonna hold up longterm.
In order to make the cool animation appear on the screen, you have to get out of the truck, wait at least 1 minute, get back in the truck and as soon as you close the door it will appear. It only does it like once a minute on my 2022 RST
They have finally upgraded the truck. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just integrated the touchscreen into the dashboard better so it wasn’t sticking out. Having a bunch of buttons lined up underneath is probably going to be distracting driving. The interior on the ram is still better, but Chevrolet is finally taking the truck crowd a lot more seriously. The outside is easier on the eyes too
Nice video Ben! I am a GMC Guy but I am leaning towards the F150 Powerboost 25 mpg with the 7.2 kw battery generator. But I won't buy until next year after the chip shortage I will not buy a vehicle at or above MSRP!
Just purchased a 22 RST LTD a month ago and while the upgrades are cool, it doesn't feel like I'm missing much. Bigger infotainment screen maybe but that feels like it.
I’ve owned 4 Silverado’s but I just switched to a 2022 Ram 1500 Midnight Edition. I like the Ram better overall. The Hemi definitely feels faster than any of those Silverado’s. Leased for $480 plus tax.
Feeling isn't reality. The HEMI is nearly identical to the 5.3. I have both a 19 BIG Horn 5.7 and a 21 RST 6.2. The HEMI isn't in the performance class.
It's a nice update but not enough to make me switch from my Ram. The one advantage in the Chevy is the front leg room, about 4 more inches. first thing I noticed being 6'8" tall but Ram has much better seats.
Chevy really jacked the prices up on these refreshed trucks, 60k for a rst with good options when it used to be about 52k. Add in the fact the days of getting 10k+ off msrp are long making any full size truck massively overpriced now
I'm currently deciding between ordering a Silverado RST 3.0 duramax or a F150 XLT Sport 2.7 ecoboost. Both are great engines that owners seem to love. I'm leaning heavily toward the RST, but the price of diesel is scaring me. The gap between unleaded and diesel keeps growing. Even with the difference in fuel economy, the ecoboost would be cheaper to operate. Tough decision!
@@EvanMerkes1 you'll still get great gas mileage with the ecoboost, and way better all around performance. You buy pickup trucks for performance. You need them to perform for you and the job. And that G80 on the Chevy is so unreliable and unpredictable. But you can always count on ford's push button locker. F150s 4x4 system is far superior than chevy/gmc.
Have a 2020 Ram Limited and so far it’s been the best pickup I’ve had. There’s a couple things I miss from my previous trucks. Power my 3.5s and 6.2s had more power for sure. Can’t wait for the turbo 6 in the Ram!
@burgerflipper You can order a new Jeep Grand Waggoner with the new twin turbo inline 6 already. I think they are probably gonna be in the Ram 1500 late 22 as a 23 model.
Really debatable truck being completely honest it might be better than ram in a few categories . I build both a ram truck and a Silverado online and for 53k you can get the Silverado with leather interior as well as the 10 speed and the 13 inch digital cluster and not to mention for $445 you can get the multiplex tailgate versus the ram barn opening-tailgate that cost $995 and idk if the remote start comes included in the LT trim but they don’t charge you like ram for $135. The only deal breaker that might prevent getting the 2022 Silverado might be the front end but just like Ben said you have to see it in person and also the 5.3 v8 is having problems with pushrods destroying themselves. Overall it’s a really debatable truck because the 10 speed improves acceleration and fuel economy and the Silverado is lighter truck than ram and not to mention that it comes standard with the 13 inch screen and cluster is really convenient.
So they had an opportunity to fix it and they didn't fix the engine?! That was their main problem. The 5.3 has v6 power, which isn't saying much, and mpgs suck too. The weak sauce engine is why I traded in '18 Silverado for a '20 Ram, and then later for '21 Ecoboost. POWER! My '18 Silverado with the 5.3 struggled to tow a 2 ton travel trailer up the mountains, but my '21 F150 will roast the tires all the way the steepest of hills and mountains. It's 2022 and the 5.3 is still in 300's with HP and torque, come'n man.
I know right.... They could have easily bumped the 5.3 up to 400 hp years ago. They rather spend time and money inventing 4 cylinder turbo toy engines for full size trucks. Come on GM 😔
If you have a gas engine its likely not the transmission. Get a Range AFM disabler-fixed all the transmission hesitation and clunky up and down shifting for me.
I just can’t get behind the front end. Idk. From the front fender toward….. glad the interior finally got upgraded…. Would def need a center console. I know some people like the extra seat… Can’t wait to see the heavy duty interior updates and maybe a redesign
The Silverado is a beautiful truck, except according to the website the interior color options are reduced to Black or Dark Grey, and if you want cloth, it's cheap slick crap. The new LED screens are mostly devoid of color, except for the animation novelty for a few seconds. The real reason for them, is that they're cheaper for the manufacturer than individual gauges, which is why so many are showing up as the full center stack.
Been looking a lot at f150’s and do like some features I see here. The middle front seat looks far better and actually has vents/usb for rear seats. I also like the multifunction gate option. Heard mixed histories of the Duramax: some love (esp in Canada where diesel is cheaper) but when things break, sounds expensive! Every f150 2.7L owner loves that engine and it gets similar towing/payload specs to the gmc/Chevy.
Im generally a Ford guy, but this seems like a much better value. F150 is 3-5k more expensive when similarly spec'd. I basically built and priced out a LT with every option except leather and Z71 and it came in at $59k, an equally optioned XLT F150 was $63k. Silverado also has the advantage of 4auto on all trims (great for the winter /rain) whereas you have to step up to the Lariat F150 to get that feature. Silverado is also offering like $2500 in incentives and low financing rates right now, I've basically seen zero deals on any 2022 F150s so far.
Agreed! Even the pricier diesel puts it at less than f150 and better mileage and oper costs lifetime than any f150 engine. I also like the multi gate and even that the rear seats have an armrest (XLT f150 does not, which is a little lame).
@@gregoryf9299 id be tempted to go with the 2.7 turbo as I dont having towing needs above 5000#, plus 310 hp and 430 lb/ft and less weight, that thing has got to be a rocketship. Agree that the multipro tailgate is awesome. Half ton trucks have gotten so tall that the average height guy really needs to get into the bed to access any cargo, the multipro fold down feature is a game changer and allows you to reach further into the bed while standing on the ground - admittedly Ram and Ridgeline are the ultimate for this, but the Multipro is the best of both worlds since it offers a wide sturdy step too.
I like it EXCEPT I hate how the bar across the grille is thinner than the lights it touches. It looks like it was a leftover part that doesn't fit perfectly
We have a '21 Silverado LT with the 5.3 and 8-speed. The new dashboard and infotainment setup, especially the latter, are a big upgrade, but I think you might have a different opinion of the seats if you spend more than an hour sitting in them. We have the same cloth seats on ours and they are rock hard so we have to use memory foam seat bottom cushions to make long drives bearable. I'm also jealous these now ship with the 10-speed transmission and DFM disabled from the factory on the 5.3. We had our lifters fail at 585 miles so I always drive the truck in L7 to disable DFM. I really hope they level up the quality on this refresh for the sake of anyone interested in one, but we're already looking to get rid of our '21 since it's been a lemon (I've been to the dealer for six unplanned repairs in 15 months, not including regular maintenance).
Nice, but not worth the upgrade for me. It’s probably just me but I feel like they could do more with the infotainment system. Maybe Apple Carplay will put the screen real estate to more use.
I think they did a great job on interior. The ride is fantastic in the Silverado and really quiet. I do not like the changes on the exterior. Looks squinty faced now. They should have left the exterior alone.
@@dallasfrost1996 I’m sure 6 out of 10 people will like it but the ZR2 is the only Silverado at this point that I would consider in the future otherwise I’m confident if I’m ever back in a GM vehicle it would be the GMC AT4X. I’d even pay the difference.
@@josephkraft5640 Yeah, the ZR2 variant helps to hide some of the ugliness the other models now have, but it's still noticeable. GMC did a much better job with the refresh, that's for damn sure.
Ugh - I have a 2019 and I love it, but WHEN are they going to put ceiling vents (like the Tahoe/Yukon) ?? The back seat is HOT in summer time... we need more air, those vents look like they have gotten even SMALLER since 2019.. Unacceptable
Glad they fixed the interior, except still no panoramic roof available. I’d look at Chevy again if they had that. But I gotta stop looking at auto review videos, I would love to shop, but there’s no inventory, when something does show up it’s already sold… frustrating to say the least! Great review as always!
I had a pano roof in my 2018 Raptor & it was fragile, needed to do the “pop up & vent” function first before doing the 3/4 one touch opening feature if truck was sitting a while to prevent the 2 panels that get “stuck together” @ the weather stripping from damaging the flimsy plastic parts in the tracks + people had issues w/ rattles & even water getting in, so when I was shopping for a 2020 I purposely avoided it, and my buddy’s 2019 Ram has been into the dealer twice already for his pano roof & it’s gotta go back a 3rd time now the whole thing is rattling & seems flimsy/slapped together….
I really wish Chevy would get rid of that hideous & ridiculous column mounted transmission shifter. That was a serious deal breaker for me when I chose my Ram 3 months ago.
@@MS-mr4zm I’m in a 2016 F150 had the issues with my panoramic roof too, got it fixed under warranty and it has been awesome ever since. I can’t see ever going back to not having it. But I am in Florida and I use open air driving on a nearly daily basis. 👍🏻
@@SWFLSlimJim yeah I like the feature but live in MA & I don’t need to be bothered w/ any extra maintenance in order to have peace of mind it’s going to work correctly. But- id recommend every 4-6 months vacuuming up -any bits of leaves/debris in the tracks followed by wiping down w/ moist microfiber cloth to get rest of dirt & wipe down the weatherstripping w/ soapy moist cloth too (get really dirty) then lube the weatherstripping w/ a small amount of that special “krytox” grease & use lithium grease for the few moving mechanical parts. Keeps it in noticeably smoother operation-
Very nice truck. Well designed and the interior was a huge step in the right direction. I have a lot of respect for the 5.3L V8 seeing as I own one but in these new trucks it’s way under powered and MPGs aren’t impressive either. The Ford 2.7L is just simply better in almost every way.
The RAM is still the best truck on the market! Better ride quality, much nicer interior, better styling, and far more reliable engine and transmission.
By "Limited", he's referring the previous model of Silverado, which also was carried over for this year. Those models are identical to before, but are sold as 2022's with the label "LTD" (Limited) to separate it from the Refreshed models. Like the one seen in this video.
Not sure if you will know this or not but on the dash board can you switch the RPM and MPH gauges? There was a truck that you could customize your dash board by moving things around but not sure which truck it was anyways nice review. Thanks for your help.
Bought a 2021 Silverado Trail Boss LT with the 5.3L and all the options for 51k out the door at the end of 2020…was a beautiful truck but the engine was a dud - hydraulic lifters would fail catalytic went bad … decided to just sell it since I got more money back then what I paid … now new 2022 can barely get a truck with leather without touching 60k - how is this an affordable mans truck lol
I'm a silverado guy, but with the lifter issues I went to Titan pro 4x and have no regret. More power as well, fun to drive with roar pedal add to it. Most importantly, 100k miles or 5 years bumper to bumper warranty.. mine also has life time powertrain warranty.
That price tag is about 10k over what it should be.
Unfortunately everything seems to be getting this treatment. 20% increase and a 1% wage increase lol. Absolute joke.
@@Oozywolf you guys are getting 1%?
@@Santi-pp7zs Lmao I actually ended up getting a decent raise this year 🤷♂️. Super easy work but lots of stress. So there's a give and take.

Love these trucks but what scares me is how many customers we get asking if we have anything to disable the AFM/DFM system due to lifter failure.
My 2020 RST Z71 has been flawless, and I do some heavy towing with it long distances. At 22,000 miles and nary a hiccup, I'm sticking with it.

@@gobluekurt 5.3
They should discount each Silverado with a 5.3 about 10 grand to offset the lack of power.

Absolutely love the interior
Front end looks like colorado
Glad they kept with the Ole skool shifter!
Eh, a nice step up admittedly. Certainly not enough to trade in a Ram or F150 for.
So they had an opportunity to fix it and they didn't fix the engine?! That was their main problem. The 5.3 has v6 power, which isn't saying much, and mpgs suck too. The weak sauce engine is why I traded in '18 Silverado for a '20 Ram, and then later for '21 Ecoboost. POWER! My '18 Silverado with the 5.3 struggled to tow a 2 ton travel trailer up the mountains, but my '21 F150 will roast the tires all the way the steepest of hills and mountains. It's 2022 and the 5.3 is still in 300's with HP and torque, come'n man.
I know right.... They could have easily bumped the 5.3 up to 400 hp years ago. They rather spend time and money inventing 4 cylinder turbo toy engines for full size trucks. Come on GM 😔
I am going to need a lot more than a video after getting burned by government motors a 3rd time on a top end truck after owning 7
“The affordable every day man’s” is not $56k lol
No doubt. But until peoplw stop buying them at their insanely high price level we wont see that come back down any time soon.
Aesthetic changes are nice, but what we really care about is if GM has resolved the transmission issues
If you have a gas engine its likely not the transmission. Get a Range AFM disabler-fixed all the transmission hesitation and clunky up and down shifting for me.
@@EvanMerkes1 these trucks don't have afm...they have dfm
I just can’t get behind the front end. Idk. From the front fender toward….. glad the interior finally got upgraded…. Would def need a center console. I know some people like the extra seat… Can’t wait to see the heavy duty interior updates and maybe a redesign
Yeah... This front end Is actually ugly, the previous model I thought looked perfect honestly. Then Chevy had to ruin it.
The Silverado is a beautiful truck, except according to the website the interior color options are reduced to Black or Dark Grey, and if you want cloth, it's cheap slick crap. The new LED screens are mostly devoid of color, except for the animation novelty for a few seconds. The real reason for them, is that they're cheaper for the manufacturer than individual gauges, which is why so many are showing up as the full center stack.
Seems quite anemic 355hp 383 ftlbs torque. I'd definitely have to have the 6.2 if I were to chance my money on one of these.
That plastic under the headlight bugs me so much.
Yeah, those "dimples", the previous sideburns looked so much cleaner.
Nice to see a new video Ben.
HDMI port exhaust is what Chevy has 😄🙅♂️
Been looking a lot at f150’s and do like some features I see here. The middle front seat looks far better and actually has vents/usb for rear seats. I also like the multifunction gate option. Heard mixed histories of the Duramax: some love (esp in Canada where diesel is cheaper) but when things break, sounds expensive! Every f150 2.7L owner loves that engine and it gets similar towing/payload specs to the gmc/Chevy.
Im generally a Ford guy, but this seems like a much better value. F150 is 3-5k more expensive when similarly spec'd. I basically built and priced out a LT with every option except leather and Z71 and it came in at $59k, an equally optioned XLT F150 was $63k. Silverado also has the advantage of 4auto on all trims (great for the winter /rain) whereas you have to step up to the Lariat F150 to get that feature. Silverado is also offering like $2500 in incentives and low financing rates right now, I've basically seen zero deals on any 2022 F150s so far.
Agreed! Even the pricier diesel puts it at less than f150 and better mileage and oper costs lifetime than any f150 engine. I also like the multi gate and even that the rear seats have an armrest (XLT f150 does not, which is a little lame).
@@gregoryf9299 id be tempted to go with the 2.7 turbo as I dont having towing needs above 5000#, plus 310 hp and 430 lb/ft and less weight, that thing has got to be a rocketship. Agree that the multipro tailgate is awesome. Half ton trucks have gotten so tall that the average height guy really needs to get into the bed to access any cargo, the multipro fold down feature is a game changer and allows you to reach further into the bed while standing on the ground - admittedly Ram and Ridgeline are the ultimate for this, but the Multipro is the best of both worlds since it offers a wide sturdy step too.
That orange one in the intro😩🤤
This is the change I was looking for
I love this redesign can you compare it with the previous design
Does the bench seat have any other USBs up front, or just the two? If just two, is there a cigarette lighter 12v up front to plug in a usb adapter?
To each their own. I love my ‘22 Ram Rebel.
I like it EXCEPT I hate how the bar across the grille is thinner than the lights it touches. It looks like it was a leftover part that doesn't fit perfectly
We have a '21 Silverado LT with the 5.3 and 8-speed. The new dashboard and infotainment setup, especially the latter, are a big upgrade, but I think you might have a different opinion of the seats if you spend more than an hour sitting in them. We have the same cloth seats on ours and they are rock hard so we have to use memory foam seat bottom cushions to make long drives bearable. I'm also jealous these now ship with the 10-speed transmission and DFM disabled from the factory on the 5.3. We had our lifters fail at 585 miles so I always drive the truck in L7 to disable DFM. I really hope they level up the quality on this refresh for the sake of anyone interested in one, but we're already looking to get rid of our '21 since it's been a lemon (I've been to the dealer for six unplanned repairs in 15 months, not including regular maintenance).
So on the 22 there is no need to delete the dmf and wont have the lifter failure?
They shouldve done their electric silverado like this one just add badges n different lights, this looks muscular n rough unlike the ev.
so have they fixed the lifters failing under 1,000 miles in the current gen ecotecs?
I think Chevrolet finally knocked it out of the park!! It’s the best looking truck for now.
I thought the Pre-refresh front end was perfect, this Refreshed front end to me is super ugly.
Yeah I'm going to have to go with a disagree on that one I think the Rams are still nicer looking as well as the Fords
Waiting for you to get your hands on a New 22 GMC I like their grill more than the Chevy
I just ordered my HighCountry 6.2L.. still no panoramic roof/ dual moon roof option🤬
Nice, but not worth the upgrade for me. It’s probably just me but I feel like they could do more with the infotainment system. Maybe Apple Carplay will put the screen real estate to more use.
Nice truck man, keep up the good work man
ima go with this specific RST trim
because it has front middle seat.
and its not the base LT or LTZ models.
i can skip the 3row suv.
Man I love that RST! Going to the dealer this weekend!
I have to see the regular models in person. The trail boss and zr2 look good though.
I think they did a great job on interior. The ride is fantastic in the Silverado and really quiet. I do not like the changes on the exterior. Looks squinty faced now. They should have left the exterior alone.
Agreed! The Pre-refreshed front end was so much better. Chevy had to ruin it...
@@dallasfrost1996 I’m sure 6 out of 10 people will like it but the ZR2 is the only Silverado at this point that I would consider in the future otherwise I’m confident if I’m ever back in a GM vehicle it would be the GMC AT4X. I’d even pay the difference.
@@josephkraft5640 Yeah, the ZR2 variant helps to hide some of the ugliness the other models now have, but it's still noticeable. GMC did a much better job with the refresh, that's for damn sure.
@@dallasfrost1996 Yes GMC way better inside and outside. It’s almost like the Silverados are for children these days.
Ugh - I have a 2019 and I love it, but WHEN are they going to put ceiling vents (like the Tahoe/Yukon) ?? The back seat is HOT in summer time... we need more air, those vents look like they have gotten even SMALLER since 2019.. Unacceptable
Glad they fixed the interior, except still no panoramic roof available. I’d look at Chevy again if they had that.
But I gotta stop looking at auto review videos, I would love to shop, but there’s no inventory, when something does show up it’s already sold… frustrating to say the least!
Great review as always!
I had a pano roof in my 2018 Raptor & it was fragile, needed to do the “pop up & vent” function first before doing the 3/4 one touch opening feature if truck was sitting a while to prevent the 2 panels that get “stuck together” @ the weather stripping from damaging the flimsy plastic parts in the tracks + people had issues w/ rattles & even water getting in, so when I was shopping for a 2020 I purposely avoided it, and my buddy’s 2019 Ram has been into the dealer twice already for his pano roof & it’s gotta go back a 3rd time now the whole thing is rattling & seems flimsy/slapped together….
I really wish Chevy would get rid of that hideous & ridiculous column mounted transmission shifter. That was a serious deal breaker for me when I chose my Ram 3 months ago.
@@MS-mr4zm I’m in a 2016 F150 had the issues with my panoramic roof too, got it fixed under warranty and it has been awesome ever since. I can’t see ever going back to not having it. But I am in Florida and I use open air driving on a nearly daily basis. 👍🏻
@@SWFLSlimJim yeah I like the feature but live in MA & I don’t need to be bothered w/ any extra maintenance in order to have peace of mind it’s going to work correctly. But- id recommend every 4-6 months vacuuming up -any bits of leaves/debris in the tracks followed by wiping down w/ moist microfiber cloth to get rest of dirt & wipe down the weatherstripping w/ soapy moist cloth too (get really dirty) then lube the weatherstripping w/ a small amount of that special “krytox” grease & use lithium grease for the few moving mechanical parts. Keeps it in noticeably smoother operation-
Chev reliability hasn't been good for quite a while. Wouldn't they do better with simpler, more reliable vehicles?
Very nice truck. Well designed and the interior was a huge step in the right direction. I have a lot of respect for the 5.3L V8 seeing as I own one but in these new trucks it’s way under powered and MPGs aren’t impressive either. The Ford 2.7L is just simply better in almost every way.
if you like turbo problems the 4cyl engine should be up your alley
Trade a RAM for this??? Ben that’s hilarious!!! 😂😂😂
I know right Ben seems to be all over the place with his vids 😂
that would be a big downgrade Loran...lmao
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS Ain’t that the truth! You would have to have a screw loose lol
@@uik99 Ben does a great job though and reviews like a million different vehicles lol
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS it would be an upgrade as far as I'm concerned. The 6.2 is way better then the 5.7 hemi
Finally a digital dash
You’re cool mr.ben keep up the good work
The RAM is still the best truck on the market! Better ride quality, much nicer interior, better styling, and far more reliable engine and transmission.
They made the GMCs look nice with the exception of the ZR2. These look like economy model trucks with all that cheap plastic in the front
Great video. But were the lifter issues fixed?
Thats the millon dollar question !
Bout time they change that interior. Been the same thing since 2014
Limited version? Chevy doesnt have limited, also the back door does raise automatically you need to use the remote for it.
By "Limited", he's referring the previous model of Silverado, which also was carried over for this year. Those models are identical to before, but are sold as 2022's with the label "LTD" (Limited) to separate it from the Refreshed models. Like the one seen in this video.
Not sure if you will know this or not but on the dash board can you switch the RPM and MPH gauges? There was a truck that you could customize your dash board by moving things around but not sure which truck it was anyways nice review. Thanks for your help.
Bought a 2021 Silverado Trail Boss LT with the 5.3L and all the options for 51k out the door at the end of 2020…was a beautiful truck but the engine was a dud - hydraulic lifters would fail catalytic went bad … decided to just sell it since I got more money back then what I paid … now new 2022 can barely get a truck with leather without touching 60k - how is this an affordable mans truck lol
Random shirtless dude must have literally given the dealership the shirt off his back to buy a car😂
Good job Chevy. It only took y’all 7 years to update your interior. Nice truck. Still isn’t a Ram though.
I can't wait to get one!
I really dig that orange ram trx in the background 😆
It is
@Random Maxx Yolana 🤣.....💩🛻💩
Bro. Where is the socket ? I have a small compressor for my flat tire and can't find it wtf
Why would someone trade for a truck that has a transmission that is known to fail as soon as 70k miles?
I'm a silverado guy, but with the lifter issues I went to Titan pro 4x and have no regret. More power as well, fun to drive with roar pedal add to it. Most importantly, 100k miles or 5 years bumper to bumper warranty.. mine also has life time powertrain warranty.
in the past you werent a fan of the 5.3. has this changed at all with addition of the 10 speed?
