Drivers working in heavy-duty industries need a vehicle that can handle all of the challenges of a demanding environment, such as sloped and uneven terrain, heavy equipment transport, high occupant capacity needs, and more. Motorists often rely on pickup trucks to complete such tasks. However, some pickup trucks lack enough power and performance to get things done. For that reason, we’d like to introduce motorists to the new 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 — now available at Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC.

Basics About the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500

The 2022 Sierra 1500 is a powerful full-size pickup truck that is capable of seating up to six occupants, even in its base configuration. The vehicle’s 2022 iteration is also packed with an array of powerful components and technology that move the Sierra 1500 family forward in a big way.

Performance

The 2022 Sierra 1500 features a powerful 310-horsepower 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine that is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission in its base configuration. When it comes to raw performance, this pairing makes for a highly competitive vehicle indeed, with the Sierra 1500 capable of producing up to 430 pound-feet of torque in its base configuration. These performance numbers are more than enough to enable the vehicle to handle the needs of most industrial environments.

However, the 2022 Sierra 1500 offers additional performance options for those needing even more power. The Sierra 1500’s most powerful engine option is a beefy 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 engine that is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and is capable of producing up to 460 pound-feet of torque. These extremely high-performance numbers ensure that drivers in heavy-duty environments will have a vehicle that can handle even the toughest of situations.

New/Unique Features

GMC has taken many steps to ensure that the new Sierra 1500 was worth the wait. For 2022, the vehicle features an incredibly large array of changes and enhancements that leave the vehicle feeling completely new yet somehow familiar. GMC has overhauled the Sierra 1500’s exterior and interior design for 2022 with a new front-end design, headlamps, and interior layout. It also features three new paint colors, which are Titanium Rush Metallic, Dynamic Blue Metallic, and Desert Sand Metallic.

Additionally, GMC has introduced two new trims — the Denali Ultimate and AT4X — which build upon the existing Denali and AT4 trims from the previous Sierra 1500. The Denali Ultimate features real open-pore wood, leather-wrapped surfaces, and GMC’s Super Cruise hands-free driving technology, while the AT4X features enhanced offroad capabilities due to special suspension components and chunky offroad tires.

As you can see, the 2022 Sierra 1500 boasts impressive performance numbers and an array of improvements. To try out the new Sierra 1500 for yourself, schedule a test drive at Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC today!
