2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Featured on GM Authority Blog Sporting Red Hot Body Panels

The 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a longstanding favorite here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis! The staff on duty at GM Authority just ran an awesome feature about the changes and updates the 2022 model will feature. There’s the debut of the Silverado ZR2 trim level, shown here, in all of its glory with Real World Photos. Here you see the Silverado 1500 ZR2 in Red Hot paint available in conjunction with the Jet Black/Graystone interior colorway in a Crew Cab/Short Bed body configuration. 

The front end features a unique fascia with a black grille and ZR2 badging, flow tie badge with a red inlay, and black lower bumper treatment. There are a set of red tow hooks located just above a silver-polished skid plate. The 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 comes ready on a set of 18-inch aluminum machined face wheels with Black Painted spokes and Oxide Gold painted outer ring accents. Both wheels are wrapped in 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires and donning the always-ready to work and haul stance we have become so familiar with when it comes to the Silverado!

Black mirror caps and black door handles are further details in the sides that go well with the Red-Hot body panels. This model in the pictures appears to be equipped with chromed rectangular 6-foot assist steps and MultiMatic DSSV dampers that are providing a bit more of an urban flair. The ZR2 is now offered with the naturally aspirated 6.2-Liter V8 L87 gasoline engine. The refreshed 2022 Silverado can also be had with the turbocharged 2.7-Liter Inline-4 L3B, which now showcases 430 lb-ft of torque. Production is now taking place at the GM Fort Wayne Assembly facility in Indiana, along with the GM Oshawa Plant in Canada.

GM unveiled the refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 in September, pulling the sheets on a vigorous update for the light-duty pickup that introduces heated front seats, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and rear and front park assist. The Motor Trend team was impressed with the 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that accelerates quickly and smoothly. The 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter engines pack a powerful punch! As you are destined to keep the party going off-road, the ZR2 receives several exterior enhancements such as a unique skid plate package and a high-approach steel front bumper that improves the truck’s all-important approach angle. 

The 2022 Chevy Silverado can top up to 13,300 pounds when equipped with the turbodiesel engine and has long had its sights on competition such as the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. We believe that the sleek design, 13.4-inch touchscreen, and nine different trim levels to reflect and originate your own taste and stance on the jobsite weekend lake trip, or frequently beckoning campground!
