2022 Silverado 1500 Refresh Bench vs Console Comparison

Detailed comparison of the 40/20/40 split-bench w/column shifter vs the full center console with all-new electronic console shifter on the 2022 Refreshed Silverado 1500!
EDIT: NEW INFORMATION NOT IN VIDEO ...These tester trucks do not have the rear seat middle fold-out armrest with cupholders but they offer that in an upgraded package called the "Up-Level Rear Seat with Storage Package" that gives you the left and right storage cubby and a fold-out center armrest with two BONUS cupholders in the rear seat! This package is standard on the LTZ and up and optional on the other trims. So depending on what trim and package you get you have the option to get two more cupholders!

The main difference. Bench makes road head way easier

[@larrywise1865]

hell yeah you can fk in the front seat

[@bighueso2428]

Gettin road head gettin gettin road head

[@williambutler8624]

Nice Silverado's, you explained very well, everyone like's their own model and trim package on these trucks, I would have to go with LT, column shifter, that's just what I prefer, excellent video, thanks for sharing.

[@thudang3039]

Thank you! I was looking for a video that would show me what the bench seat storage arrangement looks like. The smaller cup holder fact was a nice bonus tidbit.

[@Carterchevroletok]

Welcome! I was not aware of the smaller cupholders until I tested it out and was shocked they were not the same size

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

TBH.. those cup holders for the rear on the center console will be hit if a tall person is driving and has the seat back.. hence Me. The storage package needs to be brought back ASAP. Have the cup holder in the middle of the rear seats like it was. Less interference for the driver the better

[@Carterchevroletok]

They have the cup holders in the middle of the rear seats but at the time of making the video I forgot about that option and it is an upgrade called the "Up-Level Rear Seat with Storage Package" that gives you the left and right storage cubby in the seats and a fold-out center armrest with two BONUS cupholders in the rear seat!

[@MoneyShot_CM]

Great video, thanks for being detailed and putting in an in one video

[@Carterchevroletok]

Welcome!

[@user-zh8tb8gi6o]

was dead set on a center console for wireless charging but realized I much prefer the functionality of the bench and tons of extra storage space below and its lockable is great, also the Fact that its still wireless carplay makes me rethink this all together. Biggest downfall is people in the back cannot have drinks. lol

[@mattm1686]

that's ok I don't want drinks spilled in my new truck!

[@dang8491]

The selling point for ford in 2014 was that they were the only ones who used a full shoulder and waist seat belt. Ram and gm used only a waist belt.

[@1hons1]

I prefer seats over amount of cup holders

[@hol25jt]

Cup holder VS seater...🤫

[@abelabarca3291]

Nice video where can I order that full console for my Chevy Silverado? I got the bench.

[@juancervantes7021]

Looks like the seats are larger (wider) with the console than the bench. Is that right?

[@MrVictoria69]

Hard to say I watched it a few times but you may be on to something

[@donaldalderman2424]

So where are the cup holders located for the back seat? Is there an arm rest?

[@Carterchevroletok]

So glad you pointed that out because I completely forgot about that option! These tester trucks do not have the middle fold-out armrest with cupholders but they offer that in an upgraded package called the "Up-Level Rear Seat with Storage Package" that gives you the left and right storage cubby and a fold-out center armrest with two cupholders on the rear seat! This package is standard on the LTZ and up. So depending what trim and package you get you have the option to get two more cupholders!

Is it possible to change the down shifter or ground shifter from connected console to separate?

[@mattm1686]

the video game shifter looks hard to use

[@mattm1686]

bench for ne

[@sticktron2857]

I have the new rst 4x4 full console the speed limit sign deal on dash can only read through the data plan

[@Carterchevroletok]

Correct!

[@greenfatman]

Like through GM data plan or your phone’s data plan?

[@davidzavala337]

I just love floor mounted shift and hate bench seats. You loose so much space and it just looks like a work truck. Bench seats are deal breakers for me.

[@Maverick09171]

So no wireless charging on the bench seat setup

[@ARMYSFMASTAKILLA]

Yes. At 3:15 you can see it.

[@Ahmad-yw5hl]

Why you guys don’t order trailer brake controller with trucks? It is frustrated. Thank you so much for the video.

[@texasfan8892]

Due to the chip shortage, it may not be available.

[@donaldalderman6404]

Which trims can I get the console in? Don't like the bench.

[@texasfan8892]

LT and above

[@Carterchevroletok]

LT and up is correct but there are some trims LT and up that only come in bench depending on options added for instance a 2022 LT Trail Boss with a 2.7L Turbo gets a front bench but the same truck with the upgraded 5.3L, 6.2L or 3.0L Diesel come with a console

[@dopeman147]

@@Carterchevroletok is there anyway to get the 2.7 with a console rather than the bench

[@donaldalderman2424]

@@dopeman147 I would like to know also. If they are trying to push the 2.7 seems they would offer both.

[@dopeman147]

@@donaldalderman2424 yeah I don't see why it wouldn't be an option for the 2.7 to begin with because I would like to get the lt trailboss with 2.7 but only has a bench option

Hi , is the new full center console shifter an option for the chev Silverado disel ?

Chevy should of put a dial shifter for the bench seat version. The column shifter looks big and bulky and in the way

[@Carterchevroletok]

That would have been cool!

[@texasfan8892]

Go buy a Ram if you want a dial shifter. GM has been using column shifters for years and you are the first person to ever complain about them.

[@Ryux4x4]

@@texasfan8892 My new trailboss does not have a column shifter on it. I was just saying for the customs they should’ve put a dial shifter because there’s no room for a column shifter

[@texasfan8892]

@@Ryux4x4 So you have a new refreshed 2022 model then. How are you liking it? Well, instead of stealing Ram's idea for a dial shifter, why not use what the Tahoe/Suburban uses?

[@Ryux4x4]

@@texasfan8892 something like that would be better. I actually don’t have my trailboss yet I got delayed till 20 May. It’s sitting in Long Beach at the port waiting to be delivered to the dealer
