2022 Silverado 2500HD trim level differences

Chevrolet offers the 2022 Silverado 2500HD in three cab configurations: regular cab, double cab (a four-door crew cab but with a smaller rear seating area) and full crew cab. The regular cab is only available with a long bed, but the double and crew cabs can also be configured with a standard bed. Depending on the configuration, you can choose between WT (Work Truck), Custom, LT, LTZ and High Country trim levels.

Which 2022 Silverado 2500HD trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you need a truck that's able to get the job done without many niceties, the WT or Custom trim should suffice. But if you want more than just basic features and the ability to add options and packages, the LT trim is the way to go. The LT trim adds more tech such as a larger touchscreen, onboard Wi-Fi and satellite radio. More importantly, it opens up the availability of many feature packages, special-edition packages and stand-alone options.
