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.
You get much more quality with a Ram around the same price point $$$
All trucks are
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.
@Random Maxx Yolana They should've done it earlier
They should discount each Silverado with a 5.3 about 10 grand to offset the lack of power.
5.3 is a sad engine
I agree ...then maybe it would be worth taking a chance on it.
@Mabel 1st ford I got was the EcoBoost. And now I know that 5.3 is a bust. They fix it I wouldnt mind buying 1 again
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
exactly
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.
$56k and cloth seats. 🙄
Lol, you can get an f150 xlt for 70k and it'll still have cloth seats.
@@gutierrezc8709 dont think so for 70k you will get all the blows and whistles. only xl and xlt (some of them have cloth) .
Get leather then
Cloth seats don’t get burning hot in summers heat
I paid that for a 2021 stx f150.
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
It’s 6:32am! I have watched this video twice! My final thoughts… Chevy outdid themselves with the redesign on the 1500 RST 👏
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.
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!
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".
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.
Very nice!!! Happy to see it. Can’t wait until you do the GMC refresh models
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
My eco boost is at 22.1 MPG over the last 435 miles. Chevy needs more engine options.
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.
What engine did you get?
@@gobluekurt 5.3
Bro finally a new interior!! Definitely going to wait for the 2500 with this interior! I’m so happy
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.
Rims really make a truck. Chevy could’ve introduced some better wheel designs for the ‘22 mid-cycle refresh 👎
Seats are exactly the same design, exactly the same thickness. What are you seeing that makes you think that.
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.
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!
Its a shame we have to actually "pick up" the tailgate HAHA! Great video thanks Ben!
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
I love my 21 RST but I want that new cluster and the entertainment center looks way better 🔥
Nice to see a new video Ben.
Finally a Chevy truck with a good looking interior!
Wow gm FINALLY updated their interior. I like it a lot but I think ford's interior appeals to me more. Plus I'm a big ecoboost fan..good job gm
I have the 2021 RST with the 3.0 Duramax and the Z71 package, absolutely loving the truck. Would like the new interior and that center console though
Only took them damn near four years to catch up. Still would choose a RAM 1500 over this. Let’s see if there is a refresh in 2023.
Lol
Nice truck man, keep up the good work man
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
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.
I love this redesign can you compare it with the previous design
Not to mention the new updated door chime pairs well with the new interior design.
But great job for gm for finally stepping up with there designs
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 needed to see this cause I’m feeling the same way
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.
Absolutely love the interior
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.
You’re cool mr.ben keep up the good work
Interior is amazing now!
I think ill still keep my 22 rebel night edition… :)
RAM still makes the best interior. However, except for the lack of a panoramic sunroof, I think think GM finally makes a better interior than Ford.
You keep that piece of junk lol. GM now has the best interior.
For sure, love mine too. 👍🏼
@@wint_62 it still looks cheap lmao. And this interior is only on select models LOL. Chevy sucks a bag of dicks
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?
I wonder if I can change my dash and radio setup for this one I currently have a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado RST?
This is the change I was looking for
I wish they would never put the Auto stop start in the 2022 like they did for the first stages of the 2022 Tahoe yukons and escalades
This is probably the truck I'm picking up next week at Carvana in Lehi.
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.
Eww, why do people like leather? I hate it. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. i will take a high quality cloth over leather any day.
I can't wait to get one!
so have they fixed the lifters failing under 1,000 miles in the current gen ecotecs?
I have to see the regular models in person. The trail boss and zr2 look good though.
That exhaust looks like HDMI ports
Glad they kept with the Ole skool shifter!
in the past you werent a fan of the 5.3. has this changed at all with addition of the 10 speed?
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.
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
Do these new trucks ltz-high country come with heads up display ?
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.
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
I'm happy for Chevy guys that they've finally gotten a style and technology upgrade, but I doubt any Ram or Ford owner would trade for this Chevy.
My f150 2018 is better u are correct
I know so many people who have gotten rid of their Rams and Fords for Chevys.
@@wint_62 Seriously doubt that!!
@@k.c.marshall921 I don't. My father in law and two of my Uncle's got rid of their Fords for GM's.
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.
The difference is one is beautiful one is ugly and the 13 inch screen isn’t standard across the board nor is the new interior.
@@gbaby4rb64 who is buying a work truck or custom and complaining about the interior? These are the only 2 trims not receiving the interior refresh.
@@davidporter7051 those have gotten to be some pretty expensive trims it levels out with what Ford and Ram offers that’s what I was saying
To each their own. I love my ‘22 Ram Rebel.
Great video. But were the lifter issues fixed?
Thats the millon dollar question !
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.
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
I just ordered my HighCountry 6.2L.. still no panoramic roof/ dual moon roof option🤬
The animation sequence happens when you first get into the truck.
All those changes and markups just to forget the panoramic roof!! Definitely will not be trading my Ram!
The look great but I can't do it with the push rod issues that Chevy refuses to fix
That has been fixed. They got a bad batch and they are back to getting them from their old supplier
I saw button for fog lights but where are fog lights on exterior??
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.
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?
Bro. Where is the socket ? I have a small compressor for my flat tire and can't find it wtf
Front end looks like colorado
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.
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!
You won't regret getting the F-150 with the 2.7. That engine hauls ass and it feels very lightweight.
You'll get better mileage with the Chevy Duramax and it will outlast the turbo'd F150.
Suck it up and get the 3.5 ecoboost. You will not regret it.
2.7 takes off like a jack rabbit
@@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.
Eh, a nice step up admittedly. Certainly not enough to trade in a Ram or F150 for.
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
Waiting for you to get your hands on a New 22 GMC I like their grill more than the Chevy
I really dig that orange ram trx in the background 😆
It is
@Random Maxx Yolana 🤣.....💩🛻💩
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
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 😔
Noise insulation is very minimal??
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.
Wow! One of the rare trucks with DFM turned off from factory😍
“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.
What’s up with no rear cup holders
That orange one in the intro😩🤤
They shouldve done their electric silverado like this one just add badges n different lights, this looks muscular n rough unlike the ev.
how come some 22 Chevy RST have different interiors?
14 / 19 mpg for the 5.3??
HDMI port exhaust is what Chevy has 😄🙅♂️
When do these come out
Finally a digital dash
This vs Ram...
Any comparison
Good job Chevy. It only took y’all 7 years to update your interior. Nice truck. Still isn’t a Ram though.
Very cool
Man I love that RST! Going to the dealer this weekend!
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
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-
Great tech but is the truck reliable I mean we are talking about chevy.
That plastic under the headlight bugs me so much.
Yeah, those "dimples", the previous sideburns looked so much cleaner.
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
