The GMC Sierra 1500, Even More Refined for 2022 

American pickup trucks are engaging in a fierce battle, adding new commodities, technologies, engines and much more every year. More refined and technological than ever, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 has a lot to offer. 

Discover its engines, its two new top of the line versions and its completely redesigned technologies for the new year. 

2022 GMC Sierra 1500: four engines on the menu 

Power and towing capacity are often the main priorities of people choosing a full-size pickup truck, which has to be able to carry a heavy work load. 

In order to tailor to your needs, the GMC Sierra offers 4 types of performance engines, depending on the chosen version. Discover the GMC Sierra 1500 towing capacity and power of each type of engine: 

Keep in mind the diesel engine is also offered on every version, while the 6.2 L V8 can be equipped with the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 and Denali if you want to. The vehicles can be equipped with a propulsion or all-wheel drive cog for increased manoeuvrability in every condition. 

All-terrain performances with the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X 

If you are familiar with the GMC Sierra vehicles, you have probably noticed the emergence of two new names for 2022: AT4X and Denali Ultimate. 

The first one was designed for off-road enthusiasts, integrating plenty of characteristics specially made for off-road driving, for example: 

• Springs made for maximal suspension travel 
• Three DSSV valve dampers 
• A robust chassis for off-road 
• Electronically locking front and rear differentials 
• An off-road driving mode 

For the new Denali Ultimate version, it mainly upgrades the luxury aspect of the Denali. On the exterior, it distinguishes itself by its chromed emblems, its 22-inch wheels and its headlights performing a “welcome dance”. 

A modernized cockpit for 2022 

When we think of technology, our minds often imagine screens. Current trends are favouring bigger and bigger touch screens, so GMC surpasses itself in 2022, offering a 13.4-inch infotainment screen. It includes a full set of intuitive functionalities, such as:  

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 
• Amazon’s Alexa 
• Google Maps 
• Google Play 

The instrumentalization is also reviewed, now digitalized in a 12.3-inch screen. With the exception of screens, William Clavey, a journalist for RPM, highlights the new cockpit’s strong points:  

“The dashboard’s design and the quality of the materials used have been considerably upgraded. We now deal with a clearly more sophisticated and attractive command post.” 

Furthermore, advanced security features are waiting for you on the top-of-the-line models, notably front seats with 16 electronic settings including a massage function! Starting from the GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation, you can also take advantage of heated leather garnished front seats. 

A new Super Cruise driving system 

Drive-assist technologies are now part of a great majority of new vehicles on the market. However, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 pushes it even further this year by integrating a brand new semi-autonomous driving technology, the Super Cruise. 

Offered on the Denali and included on the Denali Ultimate, this new functionality allows you to let go of your steering wheel on more than 320,000 km of highway, a number that is constantly increasing with updates. Driving and lane changes are made automatically. Are you pulling a trailer? No problem: the Super Cruise system works just as well.
