Basics About the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500

The 2022 Sierra 1500 is an attractive, luxuriously comfortable pickup truck that is large enough to take the whole family on a road trip comfortably and tough enough to tow up to 13,200 pounds. However, you’ll need the Max Trailering package to be able to tow this much. You can generally expect to tow up to 9,400 pounds with this truck. Production of this truck began during the first quarter of 2022, and reviews are glowing.

What Trim Levels Can I Choose From? 

You have eight trim levels you can choose from when building your dream truck. Your options are as follows: 

  • Pro
  • SLE
  • Elevation
  • SLT
  • AT4
  • Denali
  • AT4X
  • Denali Ultimate

What Powertrain Options Do I Have? 

You can expect an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of the engine you choose. If you want a better driving experience, you’ll need to upgrade to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder 2.7L engine that produces 420 pound-feet of torque and an impressive 310 horsepower.

However, there are two V-8 motors you can choose from and a six-cylinder diesel motor that can generate up to 460 pound-feet of torque for safe, effective towing. If you’re thinking about getting a V-8 motor, know that you can choose from a 6.2L that generates 420 horsepower or a 5.3L that generates 355 horsepower.

What’s New and Improved About the 2022 Sierra 1500

The front end of the 2022 Sierra 1500 is much more striking than the front end of older models. However, it is not just the outside of this impressive vehicle that has been upgraded for 2022. The interior is much more impressive, too. For example, any trim above Pro comes with a 13.4″ touchscreen infotainment system and 12.3″ digital gauge cluster. With this infotainment system, you can seamlessly sync to your smartphone.

Furthermore, the materials used inside the cabin are much more luxurious than they were in years gone by. The tech for controlling the cabin is also imprressive. For example, you can get massage functions in this truck to make long road trips more comfortable for you and your passenger. Additionally, the positions of the front seats can be controlled easily with 16-way power adjustments.

The 2022 Sierra 1500 is beloved for a number of reasons. One such reason is the serious upgrades made to the front end of the truck and the cabin.
