The New 2022 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 – The New Flagship

For 2022, Chevrolet’s iconic Silverado has received the ZR2 treatment and claimed its title as the automaker’s new flagship off-road pickup truck. The result is a rugged, ready-for-anything truck that comes in just above the widely popular Trail Boss in the Silverado model range – and the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 has already earned a solid fan base and rave reviews.

But the 2022 ZR2 Silverado isn’t the only big news in the Chevy world this year; the entire Silverado lineup has also seen a wide variety of updates. Better than ever and staying several steps ahead of the competition, the redesigned Chevy Silverado 1500 family is set to debut in dealership showrooms this spring. 

Here are just some of the highlights to look forward to in the all-new Chevy Silverado lineup, including the ZR2 and more.

The Silverado ZR2: An Off-Road All-Star with Race-Proven Performance

As the first-ever Silverado ZR2 prepares to park in the position of Chevy’s newest flagship, it’s already become clear that this off-road truck is defying boundaries in every way possible. 

Five-Star Performance Both on the Road and off

With a V-8 engine producing 420 HP and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 is a formidable challenge to its closest competitors, the Ford F-150 Tremor and F-150 Raptor. It’s also the first Silverado to be equipped with Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve (DSSV) shock absorbers, as well as a front electronic locking differential that complements the rear locker. 

Factory-lifted and boasting an impressive 11.2-inch ground clearance, the ZR2 rides on standard 33-inch tires and has a smart, high approach front bumper with steel construction. Chevy designed the bumper’s end caps to be easily removable for fast, convenient replacement, just in case your off-road adventure leaves your truck with a few dents and dings. Plus, the truck’s dual exhaust is situated before the rear bumper, minimizing potential damage before it even happens. 

Whether you’re rock crawling, desert running, or just doing your everyday driving around the Valley, the suspension upgrades and off-road technology of the ZR2 completely elevate the experience. You’ll be comfortable no matter where you’re headed, and be able to leverage a max payload of 1,440 pounds and trailer weight rating of 8,900 pounds.

All of these thoughtful design choices, as well as the available multi-flex liftgate, enhanced safety features, and an extra-tough grill with integrated headlamps equip you with everything you need for your next exciting endeavor.

An Upgraded Interior with the Tech-Savvy Options You Want

Inside, the Silverado ZR2’s sharp style is carried through in its sleek, leather-trimmed interior. Offering the best of both form and function, the interior was exclusively designed for the ZR2 – and it shows. You and your passengers will enjoy the luxury of comfortable, spacious seating (with space for five), as well as an incredibly intuitive system of integrated technologies. 

Navigate your music, phone, news, and other functions directly from the 13.4-inch touchscreen, all while taking advantage of GM’s signature hands-free driving technology. Compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, the ZR2 also has built-in Google voice assistance, apps, and maps.

Of course, Chevy didn’t forget about safety when engineering the Silverado ZR2. Like all 2022 Silverados, it comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist. Utilize an array of safety and driver assistance features, as well as optional add-on assists, to customize your drive and truly have peace of mind. Multiple camera views, the Head-Up Display, an In-Trailer camera, and more keep a safe, hassle-free experience within easy reach at all times.

Other Exciting Changes to the Silverado Lineup

In addition to welcoming the ZR2, the Silverado family also received a variety of updates across the board. A new front fascia and grille design have refreshed the exterior, and new paint colors for the 2022 Silverado include eye-catching shades such as Glacier Blue Metallic, Sand Dune, and Dark Ash. You might notice that the headlamps have been slightly lowered, and several models’ headlamps now have animated lighting sequences.

For LT trims and higher, interiors now have a wide range of available colors, seat designs, and material options, in addition to built-in Google compatibility. A fully configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is paired with a horizontally oriented 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment center, and the models with bucket seats also gained an optional electronic shifter in the center console. 

Finally, the powertrains have also been enhanced, boosting torque and towing power considerably.
