The various trim levels available with the Silverado 1500 allow you to configure your Chevy’s design to meet your personal taste. Our Chevy experts here at Vaden Chevrolet Pooler have put together a guide to the 2022 Silverado 1500’s trims for you to explore.
2022 Chevy Silverado Overview And Trims
The
Chevy Silveradois offered with four engine options for the 2022 model year. These include a turbocharged four-cylinder unit, two powerful V-8s, and a six-cylinder turbodiesel that’s great for towing. The base turbocharged four-cylinder engine puts out 310 horsepower, while the largest V-8 churns out 420 horsepower.
Chevy also offers three cab options and three bed choices for its popular full-sized pickup. The smallest cab is called the Regular, and it has one row of seats. This cab is a good choice if you’ll be using your Chevy as a work truck. The other two cab options, the Double Cab and Crew Cab, can seat up to six people. The longest cargo bed measures 8 feet, 2 inches in length, while the shorter options measure 6 feet, 7 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches respectively.
The Silverado 1500 is available in eight trims: WT, Custom, LT, RST, Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country, and ZR2. Keep in mind that not all bed and cargo configurations are offered in each trim, so it’s best to decide which of these options you require before deciding on a trim level.
Silverado 1500 WT
The WT trim is the only one available with the Regular Cab and the longest bed. You can choose from the turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 5.3-liter V-8 under the hood. All three cargo beds are available in the WT trim, which stands for Work Truck. Its starting MSRP is $34,600.
Inside the cabin, the WT trim features vinyl upholstery. It also has a seven-inch infotainment screen and a two-speaker stereo in Regular Cab models. Double Cab and Crew Cab models get a six-speaker stereo. Connectivity options in the WT include BlueTooth, two USB ports, and smartphone compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

This Chevy rides on 20-inch alloy wheels, which are considerably larger than the 17-inch wheels offered in the base WT trim.

If you plan on doing a lot of towing, you’ll be glad to know that the Custom trim includes a class IV trailer hitch.

The High Country is also only offered with the Crew Cab. You can choose between the two V-8 engines or the six-cylinder turbodiesel. The MSRP for the High Country starts at $59,800.
