Hi all,

I recently purchased a 2022 Silverado 2500, and really excited to have a nice towing vehicle and an amazing truck.

Came with the AllStar package, Diesel, Advanced Trailering, Leather, Android Auto, multi tail gate.

I was able to get more than what I paid for my Wrangler Rubicon in the trade. The truck was also on a 5k sale price below MRSP.

Guess the Rubicons are in really high demand.

 

Here are some picks.

 

Has anyone gotten a bedliner or spray in bedliner from GM? What do you recommend?

How many miles can I expect to get a on a full tank, driving very moderately? (Mine is Diesel)

How many miles can I expect to get on a full tank towing a 19ft Yamaha jet boat?

Lastly, easy to add wireless charging. I do like that on my Suburban.

 

I average about 500 miles on my 5.3 Suburban.

 

Love the look of the truck so much better than my past 5.3 Sierra 1500.

 

Thanks,

Beautiful truck! :thumbs:

 

I've got the GM factory spray in liner, and it is really nice. 

My last truck had an aftermarket Line-X Berliner, and that was really good quality. 

I've used the home roll on kit bed liner from Dupli-Color.  Was more work to do the prep than roll on the liner.  It was tough as nails.  My buddy used the same product with a tint.  The tint faded after about a year, but the  product was still strong and durable.

 

In the Mods sub forum there is a great write up on adding cordless phone charger.  Looks really clean and fairly easy. 

My truck is gas, so I can't speak to fuel mileage.

I get about 20 empty, 15 towing a car hauler with a small tractor aboard, 10-11 towing the camper.  (highway mileage, rarely in a city anyway)

Factory spray in liner on my 2020, like it just fine, honestly think it is better than any typical plastic liner I have had.  According to the onboard computer, I can go over 600 miles on a tank, but rare that I don't refill around 3/8ths of a tank.

I towed my boat yesterday. Love the Advanced Trailer package and that I can align up to the hitch ball. The truck towed effortlessly. Got around 11.5 towing. The tow mirrors are great too.

 

I already put on about 400 miles and the drive up to my cabin and averaged 19.6MPG. Better than my 5.3 Suburban and my wife's older RX 350 that gets about 16MPG on a small V6.

 

For the bed, my brother-in-law lives in Europe and a reseller for Decked. My just go with a Decked solution for the bed.

 

Love the truck and does not seem that big when driving. Seems about as wide as my Suburban and just a bit longer than my older Sierra that I had...a lot taller though and great visibility from up high.

That Decked System looks really cool.  Great storage idea.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
