Madera Auto Center has this capable, low-mileage crew cab ready for a test drive — a full-size truck that balances everyday utility with the refinement today's buyers expect.

About This 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom

This 2022 Silverado 1500 Custom arrives as a 4-door Crew Cab, making it equally at home hauling a work crew, loading up the family, or towing on the weekend. The Custom trim sits above the base WT (Work Truck) and brings added comfort features while keeping the rugged, no-nonsense character that makes the Silverado a top seller year after year. At under 43,000 miles, this truck is just barely broken in — still well within the range where most major mechanical components are at their best. The exterior Ash color gives it a clean, understated appearance that works on a job site and in a parking lot alike.

2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood of this Silverado 1500 is Chevrolet's 2.7L Turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Don't let the cylinder count fool you — this engine is purpose-built for truck duty, producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque in its standard configuration. That torque figure rivals many V8s and gives the 2.7L Turbo exceptional low-end pull for towing and hauling. Real-world drivers consistently report strong acceleration, responsive passing power on the highway, and notably better fuel economy compared to larger displacement engines. Paired with the smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic, the powertrain delivers a confident, composed driving experience whether you're navigating Highway 99 or heading into the foothills. This truck is configured in rear-wheel drive, which is the standard choice for buyers who prioritize payload efficiency and everyday driving dynamics in California's Central Valley climate.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom Features and Interior

The Custom trim level on the Silverado 1500 is designed for buyers who want genuine capability without unnecessary frills — and it delivers. The Crew Cab body style provides four full-size doors and a rear seat with real legroom, making long drives comfortable for everyone on board. Standard features on the 2022 Custom include a 7-inch diagonal infotainment display with Chevrolet Infotainment 3, available Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a locking tailgate. The interior is designed for durability, with surfaces that stand up to the kind of use a working truck sees daily. The Silverado's cabin also offers excellent visibility and a commanding driving position that inspires confidence on the road.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Reliability and Ownership

A Proven Platform with a Strong Track Record

The Silverado 1500 consistently earns strong reliability marks from owners and independent reviewers. The 2022 model benefits from the completely redesigned T1 platform introduced in 2019, which brought significant structural, powertrain, and technology improvements over previous generations. The 2.7L Turbocharged engine has now accumulated several years of real-world data from owners across the country, and the consensus is positive — it pulls strong, holds up well under tow loads, and returns better fuel economy than the V6 and V8 alternatives. GM's 8-speed automatic has also proven itself as a durable, well-calibrated transmission across multiple platforms. Owners of this generation Silverado regularly report low maintenance costs, straightforward dealer servicing, and high satisfaction with long-term durability. For Central Valley buyers who put real miles on their trucks — commuting, farming, contracting, or weekend recreation — the Silverado 1500 Custom is a dependable, low-drama choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good buy?

Yes — the 2022 Silverado 1500 is widely regarded as one of the better full-size trucks on the market. It received a complete redesign in 2019 and by 2022 had the benefit of several years of refinement. Strong towing and payload numbers, a comfortable Crew Cab interior, and broad powertrain choices make it a versatile and well-rounded truck at virtually any trim level.

What does the Silverado 1500 Custom trim include?

The Custom trim is a step up from the base Work Truck and includes added comfort and technology features such as the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, air conditioning, power accessories, and a more polished interior appearance. It's built to be a genuinely comfortable daily driver without moving into the luxury territory of higher trims.

How many miles is too many on a used Silverado 1500?

The Silverado 1500 platform is well-known for longevity, with many examples lasting well past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. At 42,899 miles, this 2022 model is nowhere near the threshold of concern — it still has years of productive service ahead. The key factors to evaluate in any used truck are maintenance history, accident history, and evidence of proper care, all of which the team at Madera Auto Center can walk you through.

How does the 2.7L Turbo engine perform compared to the V8?

The 2.7L Turbocharged four-cylinder is a genuine truck engine, not a passenger-car motor in a truck body. It produces 430 lb-ft of torque — more low-end pull than the 5.3L V8 option — and delivers strong real-world towing capability. Most owners find that for everyday driving, towing moderate loads, and highway use, the 2.7L Turbo is more than sufficient and rewards you with noticeably better fuel economy.

Is rear-wheel drive okay for a truck in California?

For most Central Valley buyers, rear-wheel drive is a perfectly practical choice. California's climate and terrain — particularly in the San Joaquin Valley — rarely demand the constant use of four-wheel drive. RWD trucks are lighter, more fuel efficient, and lower maintenance than 4WD configurations. Buyers who do need off-road or snow capability can consider adding weight to the bed in slick conditions, but for the vast majority of Chowchilla-area buyers, RWD is an excellent, cost-effective option.
