Over all of the years that we have had our eyes on the pulse of the auto industry here at Jim Butler Chevy of Saint Louis, it has always been evident that truck buyers are a loyal breed. When the time comes to make another purchase, the buyers stay loyal to their brand, very eager to have another driving experience just like the last. No matter how much our beloved Silverado evolves, Chevy will always maintain its perfect balance of great features in the interior and on the exterior of the truck.

The drive testing team on duty at TheTruthAboutCars.com blog first praised the 2022 Chevy Silverado LT for sporting a split bench seat, as they excitedly took a full crew out for an evening for dinner and a sunset cruise. The managing editor claimed happily that other drivers would be pleased to ditch the three-row crossover and buy a “bench equipped pick-em-up machine!” This allowed for easy stretching of legs during the cruise on the interstate, and added to the sense of adventure as the troupe roared off into the evening.

Even those who love to use their trucks for work are a bit obsessed with new technology, and the 2022 Silverado LT has that completely covered! The revamped 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google support proved to be fast and intuitive, and allowed writer Chris Tonn to easily access his Google Maps as a default feature. The truck that the team tested was equipped with a 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, offering up 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.

In the 2022 Silverado 1500, you’ll cruise with the added high-tech assistance of the Chevy Safety Assist suite that includes front pedestrian braking, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, and automatic high beams. There are so many great reasons to want to step up to the High-Country trim edition, as it is finished in a very nice-looking chrome outside, and leather inside. But we also love the main draw of GM’s Super Cruise, the hands-free adaptive cruise control that allows you to let the car be the pilot on the highway.

An All-American example of making your story the best and strongest it can be, the adventure with the current-model Silverado begins the second you grab the wheel! Car and Driver also had heaps of praise for this truck due to its solid handling, greatly improved interior, and wide selection of powerful engines. The Work Truck and Custom trims are ideal for anyone who has just started a new career with a skilled trade or contracting, and the LT model is where the fancier interior is part of the package.

Boasting a max towing capacity of 13,300 pounds, the half-ton Silverado beats out its rivals, the Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150, and will make many Missouri truck owners thrilled to haul, tow, or take a vacation you so deserve in style!
