Fair warning, once you have a 6.2 you will never be able to go back to the 5.3, it’s a life changing decision lol. My lord is it fun to drive though. Absolutely love mine. The 10 speed is a big credit for how well it pulls at highway speed as well. Your other two Chevys were 8 speeds.
@@TruckOwnership101 I checked the specs on both engines, the Ram 5.7L and GM 6.2L, and yes GM’s 6.2 makes more HP and more torque… really debating if to go with a 6.2L since Ram only offers the 5.7L as a gas engine.
Put a magnuson supercharger on the 6.2 liter really wakes it up. Buddy just installed one . Night Nd day difference if your looking for the down low tq for towing or just to get more acceleration
I was just recommending a good easy bolt on magnuson kit 1.9 liter or 2.3 liter blower that still passes smog EO number For a daily driver 5/6 psi boost extra 150 hp nothing crazy and you don’t have to upgrade anything else . Not for racing or to be fast mainly its way better for towing . Magnuson 2650 supercharger is good for like 1500 HP guys are making 1300 to 1400 rwhp on 28 psi with that Magnuson on a built 427 motor . Turbos are more efficient and can make more power then a 2650 blower for sure just depends what your looking to do with the car or truck
You would definitely still be happy with the 5.3 man. I’ve had a few of them and they still rip. Just bought a new 2022 Silverado Trail Boss a couple weeks ago with the 10 speed auto in Oxford Brown Metallic. Plenty of power and drives like a dream. Very peppy 5.3
You should look into buying a 2500HD, it will bring some good content to your channel with the modifications you are able to do and will switch things up with the 1500’s 👍
If you get the elevation make sure you get the off-road package the Z71 equivalent. If you don't the truck will only have four wheel high and not 4-wheel low
Hey mark a nother awesome videos on your channel for 2022 u are awesome RU-vidr keep up the great work i am also on the truck market for a truck u definitely my favorite RU-vidr ever u think u going to rap the new truck 😀 keep up the amazing work
I’m assuming you are talking about Laura ford in Missouri, I live a few states away and also went with them with a purchase of a new truck, a lead foot gray with the 3.5 Ecoboost and 302A. No haggle and easy to deal with.
Go with the elevation with the premium package, you’ll be pleased with it. I have the new ultimate Sierra and the interior is way better than last gen.
@@rickokemp1244 They can because of their agreements with the dealers allow them to have some muscle on them. As mentioned by Dave they do like to use allocations. My friend was discriminated against at a Cadillac dealership and GM stopped giving them CTS's and Escalades for some time to put pressure on them to get their act together.
I'm in SoCal (Santa Clarita). Found a Silverado RST 6.2L 4x4 Standard Bed for $5k off sticker including rebates in Hemet CA at Gosch Chevrolet. Fantastic dealership.
Look up Vernon auto group out in Vernon Texas. They haven’t marked up trucks there. Plus GM President announced GM dealers can’t mark up new trucks, look it up and walk into any GM dealer and show them the article, but print it and give to a dealer manager. Hope you find a great truck brotha 🤙🏼
Yes it’s a beast just purchased a Sierra with the 5.3 ,but will be commuting with my wife’s car ,weekend fun truck only ,with gas prices ,hope your commute isn’t big for work! 👍🏼
I have a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L). I "had" a 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 (5.3L). The difference is night/day. I also installed a cold air intake, Pulsar LT, muffler swap out (Borla). It is one QUICK truck. It will roast the tires, hang tough on the highway, and get you through the crappy roads.
Already ordered my 2022 at4 refresh in titanium rush metallic 6.2L man oh man can’t wait for that call to pick it up!! (months away though) 😩 Roarrrrrrr. Fantastic job on the Lime green wrap Silverado RST. The T rex grill and lighting kill’s it.
@@pipedesigner totally different vehicle you have the old set up. Had to be rebates and incentives. Probably paying high interest rate as well. This is 2022 refreshed. Get the ultimate Denali now 😂
Ah, the wonderful world of purchasing a new vehicle that's been broken in properly at WOT on every single test drive. You can bet that the entire drivetrain hasn't been warmed up before a WOT free ride. But, the truck looks good and that's all that matters!
It is really freaking nice but I would keep looking , you never know what you’ll find out there ,, you can always come back there to see your home girl Something else doesn’t pan out
Get the 6.2 AT4 add the cold air intake, electronic exhaust cutout and the pulsar LT chip and let the fun times roll!!! If you don’t, you’ll be regretting it for the rest of your life.
Got the 6.2 in mine, bought the Pulsar LT control module, major difference on drive ability. Turned off the AFM/DFM, Auto Stop feature and this thing runs like it should. Game changer on launches and throttle response, wakes it up.
Consumer Reports gave the 2022 Silverado a score of 78 out of 100 on the road test. The predicted reliability came in at one out of five. The predicted owner satisfaction received an average score of three out of five.
Let the numbers speak for themselves. And btw, there's still no replacement for displacement. 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine 355 hp [265 kW] @ 5600 rpm 383 lb-ft of torque [518 Nm] @ 4100 rpm Paired with either a 8-speed or 10-speed automatic transmission 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine 420 hp [313 kW] @ 5600 rpm 460 lb-ft of torque [624 Nm] @ 4100 rpm Dynamic Fuel Management technology Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
Just got a 2022 Trail Boss w/ 6.2 for $51k but used my brothers GM Family Discount and got it for $47k. Its got some options, and I'm adding others myself. Also, my PB 50 mile average is 22.7MPG w/ AFM enabled.
This truck is a ticking time bomb money trap due to the faulty AFM lifters that will destroy the cam and cam bearings. It also has a faulty torque converter. Wait till 2023.
The new Silverado and Sierra trucks face 3 lawsuits now... Engines Transmission Paint When it comes to Transmissions, GM didn't want to honor the warranty because they argued that warranty covers manufacturing defects and not design defects and Transmissions are failing due to design flaw, not manufacturing defect.
Just got my 2022 AT4 6.2l today. 36 mo. 15k/ year and my payment is $427 with $1500 down. Full disclosure, my dealer gave me $9k in equity on my 2020 Elevation and I have GM Employee pricing through Grandpa. Not bad though for a truck with a $67k sticker.
Elevation is overpriced....get a base AT4....I had 21 elevation and to get one up to an AT4 level I think it's actually more....I snoozed on new 21 AT4 with 6.2 and preferred pkg for 56k sell price ....elevations can reach 58-60k.... Another is 21 base AT4 fir 54k
I bought a 2022 Sierra 1500 AT4 Limited 6.2…and I only have normal and off road drive modes. No sport mode. Anyone else? I don’t have to fully equipped and packaged model, but it’s just below. My gf’s 2021 AT4 is the lowest based one w the 5.3 and she has sport mode.
@@cl3410 I read a thread where a dude said he bought a 2022 trail boss 6.2. No sport mode as well. The dealership he bought it from stated if the truck comes w due attack tires it won’t have sport mode. That sounds like a BS response by the dealer, but mine has those tires as well. On pavement dead stop and flooring it…those tires don’t hook up. Which is understandable being their profile. I just can’t see a tire option causing you not to have sport mode.
@@ramotinmahazol240 wow I had no clue and I’m surprised that hasn’t been discussed more. Why would a tire option which can be changed determine whether or not you have sport mode. I have a 2020 6.2 AT4 with the Wranglers. I will say I love this track. Looked at a Raptor but decided to go more practical and save 15k. AT4 6.2 has plenty of performance. I liked it better than the Ram too. I agree the Rams interior is more upscale but don’t need it for a truck, I like my Sierra AT4 carbon pro interior just fine.
@@cl3410 yeah, I love my truck. Love the 6.2. I was confused why I only had normal and off-road, but no sport. Info isn’t easy to find on gm website. Just ran me in circles. I finally just called them. They said it’s no longer an option on AT4. No worries I guess, like you said this motor is powerful. I do wish a bigger rear end was available like 3:42 or 3:73. Then it’d be nuts. MPGs would suck, but I didn’t buy this for fuel economy.
@@ramotinmahazol240 you’re not missing out. I have Sport and never use it. Used it when I first got the truck then realized it wasn’t necessary. Especially if you got the air intake and upgraded exhaust (performance package); totally worth it.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluf
3.6 or any naturally aspirated v6 engine on any truck is not worth it. It has very little benefits and only provides 2+ mpg better but it’s very minimal. V6 is a. Downgrade because you lose a lot of power and a v6 isn’t strong enough to be pushing a 5,400 pound truck, the v6 will end up struggling and your going to be revving the engine high rpms to move truck and that makes you waste more gas.
Im currently looking to buy a new! 1/2 ton truck from GM, Ford or Ram. What I have noticed is every lot has the low end specked trucks. I bet this is due to chip shortage. Not only are the trucks leaving the factory with defects. Some items are turned of. Blue Cruise, heated steering wheel, heated seats, auto start stop, AFM/DFM etc.. On top of poor quality the buyer is paying MSRP. Just when you thought it could not get worse. Fuel will soon hit $5 a gallon. The resale value will fall like a Led Zepplin. Welcome to Beijing Bidens America. Prices skyrocketing, Quality and service plummeting.
