If you have the cash – GMC has your truck.
The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate crew cab short box with four-wheel drive is the most advanced and luxuriously appointed Denali model ever and the most advanced and luxurious pickup in its class.
“Sierra’s momentum continues to accelerate, as the fastest growing model in the segment,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president of GMC and Buick. “With the 2022 Sierra, GMC is offering customers more advanced technologies, upscale appointments and increased capability across the Sierra lineup including the all-new Sierra Denali Ultimate.
Unique exterior styling cues, along with exclusive interior trim and features, are complemented with more standard equipment — including first-in-class available trailering-capable Super Cruise and the segment-exclusive CarbonPro composite cargo box, offering best-in-class short-bed cargo volume — to set a new standard for premium truck buyers who want to reward themselves.
The Denali Ultimate is distinguished by an exterior featuring a unique grille in exclusive Vader chrome, along with exclusive 22-inch wheels, finished in low gloss black with machined accents, Vader chrome GMC logo and unique front fender trim featuring Mount Denali. Additionally, GMC’s six-way MultiPro tailgate, the Denali premium suspension with segment-exclusive adaptive ride control, and power assist steps are standard.
My tester came with a “Titanium Rush Metallic” coat of enamel with a complementary interior clad in “Alpine Umber.”
Sierra Denali is powered by 6.2-liter Ecotec3 V8 engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The duo generates an impressive 420 horsepower, is rated to tow up to 9,300 pounds, and comes with an EPA rating of 20 miles per gallon down the highway.
