This is the redesigned 2022 GMC Sierra and after I saw one driving by the other day, I started thinking if I should have waited a few months to get this instead of my Ram Rebel. I love the Rebel, don't get me wrong, but this is such an impressive step forward for the Sierra over the previous generation which wasn’t even a consideration for me at the time. Especially when I compare the interiors.

Before we jump into Photoshop to analyze the new exterior design and interior, let’s go over the spec and tech of the 2022 Sierra.

The base model is now called Pro and we also get two brand new trim levels - the AT4X and Denali Ultimate trims, which you can think of as AT4 and Denali plus trims with a little bit of extra everything.

If you’re looking to go into the wild, you wanna have a look at the new AT4X. The AT4X is the most off-road-focused model in the Sierra 1500 lineup and it isn’t just for show. It comes with advanced dampers, electronic locking front and rear differentials, skid plates to protect the undercarriage and even the body of the truck with the rocker guards. The wheels are black 18-inch wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Mud-Terrain tires. When in Terrain Mode, you can drive the AT4X with one-pedal in lower speeds while crawling over rough terrain.

If you’re more interested in a proper luxury truck the new Denali Ultimate should do the trick. Usually I’m not a fan of anything chrome but I have to say I do like this black chrome we have in the massive grille here. For the wheels GMC fitted the Denali Ultimate with huge 22-inch rims and way less aggressive tires than those you find on the AT4X.

It’s primary focus is comfort and luxury and that’s exactly what you get.On the inside you’ll find a lot of leather and a lot of wood trim, just as expected. On top of that you have a 16-way power adjustable front seat with built-in massage functions.

What about the powertrain? You can still get the 2022 Sierra with a 355-hp 5.3-liter or a 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8. In addition, a 2.7-liter turbo inline-four and a 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel are also available. What you can’t get anymore is the 4.3-liter V-6 which is cancelled for 2022. The chassis has been redesigned as well to give the Duramax diesel a towing capacity of up to 13,200 pounds. This is quite a huge step up from the previous 9200 pounds.

There are big changes on the inside as well with a new 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 13.4-inch center touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard if you go for the big touchscreen and you can also opt for a huge heads-up display.

The pricing for the 2022 Sierra starts at $32,495 for the base Sierra Pro and the top of the range Denali Ultimate will set you back $80,395, that’s a full $19,100 more than the regular Denali.

The AT4, which is the one I would go for, starts at $60,995, and the AT4X costs $74,995 before any options.
