The base engine for the 2022 Silverado is a 2.7L Turbo High-Output capable of 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, which is a 24% increase in torque. Helping to promote that increased torque is the unique dual volute turbocharger with priority on oiling and cooling to take on the toughest jobs with ease. This engine is coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
At the top end of the engine options, the Silverado can be configured with a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 and a 10-speed automatic transmission, putting down 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft or torque. Fuel consumption for such a large displacement is improved through Dynamic Fuel Management cylinder deactivation technology.
