My wife and I just purchased a brand new 2022 Silverado Custom 2wd Crew Cab. It’s a little more than basic and a huge upgrade (spec wise) over our beloved 2011 Tahoe. This one has the 2.7l Turbo with 3.42 rear axle. The truck is rated at 9,200 lbs trailer weight (we are going to test that), has 1880 ish lbs of payload and the 8 speed transmission. The multi-flex tailgate is a game changer for me! I have to install an brake controller and will probably go with a Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty. I’m a tech junkie and specifically choose the 2.7 for all it’s capable of (towing and not towing). This isn’t the refreshed version but still pretty gee wiz. Anyway, I plan on making videos of me installing my brake controller, hitch adjustment, and towing our 7,200 lb TT up and over Monteagle Mountain in TN. If you want to see those let me know and I’ll post links to them here. Here are a few pics of our new Silver Silverado. Thanks and have a great day!

Truck in signature didn't come from the factory with a brake controller.. had dealer install one (an OEM unit, installed as a dealer add-on)... Much better than the aftermarket ones I'd had on previous trucks.. integrated with truck electronics (can display trailer braking power and towing miles) and-more important-is smooth as silky rather than grabby and hard to adjust * This post was edited 03/18/22 10:58am by trailernovice * Glenn and Toni 2019 Jayco JayFlight SLX8 264 BH 2019 Ram 1500 5.7 3.21 gears Reese round bar w/d with sway control RetiredRealtorRick • View posts St. Augustine Beach, FL Senior Member Joined: 04/17/2020 View Profile Posted: 03/18/22 07:43am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator GREAT looking truck!! Two observations (based on MY opinion): 1. It isn't white! White, white, white. What's the deal with white trucks with so many other better colors to select from? Makes it hard to tell if it's a $100,000 top-of-the-line rig --- or if it's part of a commercial fleet owned by a plumbing company 2. LOVE the alloy wheels. They set it off nicely. Again, what's the deal with black wheels, other than the fact that they're much cheaper to produce, fattening the profit margin of the manufacturer. Who convinced everybody that they looked so good? . . . because they DON'T! Again, just my personal opinion --- your mileage may vary . . . never confuse education with intelligence, nor motion with progress Lwiddis • View posts Southern California :( Senior Member Joined: 08/12/2016 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 03/18/22 08:52am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator “ has 1880 ish lbs of payload” Good lookin’ truck! 1880 is about what I have…1912. YES, please post your towing videos. None of my friends have the 2.7 so I’d like your opinion. I like your front end better than mine…too much chrome!

Sharp looking truck! I didn't know what you meant by refreshed, as the "old" motor is stout, but 420ft/lbs in the new one? Wow!

Hope you got a good deal on it, and we wish you nothing but happy travels! My opinion, that truck would look really bad azz with black wheels! Also I second looking at adding the GM factory controller if you can, this Ram is my first truck with an integrated controller and it's soooo much smoother than the Prodigy I had in the Suburban. It's amazing how much power they are squeezing out of these engines nowadays, I would love to see a video of the 2.7 towing 7200 lbs up Monteagle. I know my old 8.1 was working hard with 8500 lbs in tow....and that was with a 4.10 axle.

LTs and above got bigger dash monitors for instance. As I understand it, below LTs got nada.
