The GMC Sierra stands out with its helpful technology and all-around utility. We also like its available 6.2-liter V8 and rugged off-road upgrades. Better value can be had elsewhere for a light-duty pickup, but the Sierra is certainly the best interpretation of the GM family of trucks.
When the current-generation GMC Sierra 1500 debuted a few years ago, it wasn't an instant hit. Its outdated interior, old technology and rough ride had us steering people to more capable pickup trucks. There have been improvements along the way, but this year marks a big step forward.

The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 gets a new interior with a much larger 13.4-inch touchscreen for all models except for the base Pro trim. There's also a new AT4X trim with a focus on off-road abilities as well as a fully loaded Denali Ultimate model at the very top of the lineup. Included in that particular trim is GM's Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system, which debuts this year too.
These upgrades mimic those of the Sierra's corporate twin, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. These pickups are very similar in their base through midrange models, but the Sierra's higher-trimmed models tend to deliver a bit more luxury and refinement. They're both solid performers in the class but are bested by the Edmunds Top Rated Ford F-150 as well as the Ram 1500 and new Toyota Tundra. As significant as the 2022 changes are, the GMC Sierra 1500's rougher ride and some downmarket interior materials keep it from putting up a stronger fight against the rest of the class.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Good
7.7
out of 10
We drove the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Sierra 1500 drive? Our test truck came as a crew cab with four-wheel drive and the optional 6.2-liter V8. At our test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, which is quick for a full-size truck. The 10-speed transmission shifts quickly and promptly. Maximum braking performance is also impressive, though a lack of brake pedal feel can make it hard to come to smooth stops in routine driving.
We're less fond of the Sierra's handling capability. It leans over a lot and generally feels ponderous as you drive around turns. The feel from the steering wheel is also a bit numb. Off-road capability is average for a full-size truck. There's also a Traction Select system, which allows additional wheelspin and smoother initial throttle response in low-traction scenarios.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Sierra 1500? The Sierra's front seats aren't quite as plush as those in the F-150 and Ram 1500, but they're comfortable and good for long trips. The ride is relatively smooth on the highway, and the truck absorbs most small impacts well. But the truck can get bouncy when you drive on roads that have a lot of bumps and dips.
The climate system can easily heat and cool the cabin, but operating it can be a little tricky because a lot of the control buttons are small. We really like the heated split front seats — offering separate settings for the seatback and seat cushion — a GM-exclusive feature. Engine noise is nicely muted until you get hard on the throttle, at which point it becomes a bit unpleasant but not offensive.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? Front headroom, shoulder room and legroom are plentiful. The back seat of the crew-cab Sierra is absolutely massive, too. Three full-size adults can easily fit shoulder to shoulder back there. Both the driver's seat and the steering wheel have a wide range of adjustments, and dialing in a pleasing driving position wasn't an issue for drivers tall or short.
We like the Sierra's latest interior control layout. Knobs, buttons and switches are easy to find and satisfying to press, click or turn. The touchscreen boots up quickly and is responsive to commands. But visibility can be a challenge in full-size trucks, and the Sierra's styling does it no favors. Shorter drivers will have a hard time seeing over the truck's hood, and thick side pillars can also impede your sight lines. It's a good thing an excellent surround-view camera system is available.
Technology
9/10
How’s the tech? Technology is a strong point in the Sierra. An available 13.4-inch touchscreen offers a wide range of capability without confusing the user, and the high-resolution screen responds quickly to presses or swipes. The maps are clear, and navigation finds addresses and points of interest quickly. Plus, the Google-powered voice recognition system understands natural language and reads your commands back to you on the screen. With your voice, you can change the station, adjust the climate control and more.
Our test truck came with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, both with wireless connectivity. CarPlay looked great on the massive screen. There's a dedicated storage space for your smartphone, and some models include a wireless charger. Driver aids are abundant, with several available exterior cameras that help when parking this behemoth of a truck. The rear cross-traffic warning system and its helpful buzzes in the seat bottom are effective too.
Adaptive cruise control generally works well, particularly for such a large vehicle. However, we did experience some aggressive and abrupt braking in our test truck when driving in stop-and-go traffic. GM's hands-free driver assist technology, Super Cruise, is available, but only on the range-topping Denali Ultimate trim — Ford offers its similar BlueCruise system on several F-150 trims.
Towing and Storage
8/10
How are the towing and storage? The GMC's bed is big, with tie-downs galore, and the bed steps are useful. On top of that, it has an exclusive MultiPro tailgate, which opens in six different configurations. Top Sierra trims come standard with a brake controller, trailer camera angles that help you get hitched, and memory settings for various trailer configurations. Maximum tow ratings are not best in class but are very respectable.
Inside, the large center console provides sufficient space for your small items, though it does take up a lot of room between the seats. There are copious cupholders too. Accommodating just about any child safety seat should be easy thanks to the crew cab's massive back seat.
Fuel Economy
7.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA says a Sierra with the big V8 and 4WD should get 17 mpg in combined city/highway driving. This is respectable, though you can get higher fuel efficiency from the hybrid powertrains in the F-150 and Toyota Tundra. On our mixed-driving evaluation route, our test truck posted 17.6 mpg, indicating that the EPA estimates are realistic.
Value
7/10
Is the Sierra 1500 a good value? Value is the Sierra's main weakness, especially when you're looking at the pricier trim levels. The interior is well built and sturdy, and the quality of materials feels much nicer than in years past. But other than the split-and-folding MultiPro tailgate, there's not a whole lot in truck terms that can justify the big price premium. Other trucks offer better value and towing capability.
GMC's three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty are standard for the segment. Scheduled maintenance (oil changes and tire rotation) is included for the first visit in the first year — Ram and Ford can't match that.
Wildcard
7/10
These days, a truck has to do much more than the basics. Styling plays a role, as does drivability. The Sierra has merit in those areas, with plenty of visual bravado and towing and hauling capability, and it's certainly a competent rig. But its competitors do many of those things just a fraction better and often at less expense.
2022 GMC Sierra 1500 trim level differences
The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 is available in eight trim levels: Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali and Denali Ultimate. The Sierra 1500 is also available in three cab configurations: regular cab, double cab (it's a crew cab but with less rear seat space) and crew cab. Not all trims are available in all configurations. There are also three bed lengths available depending on the cab configuration.
Which Sierra 1500 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend going for the SLE trim, which adds a long list of desirable standard features to the base Pro trim, including cruise control, heated seats, a trailer hitch receiver and GMC's MultiPro configurable tailgate. The added features make it a solid value.

2021 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
I have a 2021 GMC 5.3L w/10spd transmission. I pull a 21’ cargo trailer w/2 Polaris Trail Rzr’s. Yesterday at 13,800 miles the valve lifter on #5 cylinder went out. We were 80 miles from home in the middle of no-where. We limped home.
The truck is beautiful, pulls great and gets good mileage, but GM should let customers know about this kind of potential problem.
The dealer told me … today that it could take a month to get parts and get it fixed. I need the truck almost every day, but now I walk for a month! NOT HAPPY! I’ve been a GMC customer for 35 years and bought north of 17 new pickups. Never had this problem. When this is fixed I will have to look at other brands.
Pieces flew off driving down highway
2 out of 5 stars

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB 5.8 ft. SB (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
We bought this car in November 2021, it arrived 7 mos later without any rush, updates or concerns from GMC other than “Covid”. My husband was driving down the highway when the top finish piece of the grill just flew off. Not a huge deal we thought- well GMC will not just sell you a replacement plastic piece- they want you to purchase a whole new grill. This is the top plastic strip at … the top of the grill you see in pictures. Without it, screws are exposed and it worries my husband to wash it and dump water or soap on it.
He called the dealership was quoted 1100 over the phone for a new grill- because they won’t just fix the strip- and arrived for his appointment this morning to discover after an hour of “confusion” by staff that in summer of 2023- a year after receiving it, it was “out of warranty” , he would have to pay for it in full, and 2 days later the “price had gone up” to $1600. We are due for a new family vehicle next month, and will be purchasing a Toyota Sequoia instead of a Yukon based on this poor customer care and cheaply made vehicle. You can search your local Facebook listings as we have and see many others who have faced the same problem. What a shame that GMC is so greedy it can’t value its loyal customers and replace parts that were poorly designed to begin with- you would expect more for a +$80,000 price tag. Highway robbery. Will not keep this one for long- if pieces are flying off on the interstate for years, we would rather trade it in for a different vehicle before more start coming off. We bought this truck because we thought it would be safe and reliable while he travels on the road often for a living across multiple states and uses it on his farm as well. I suppose GMC is content with their trucks looking like you know what on the roads and in parking lots because they are too cheap to properly remedy their own design flaw. No thank you.

2021 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.6 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
My 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 had to have new lifters and push rods put in at 3600 miles then again at 5200 miles had the same problem waiting on dealership and General Motors to get back with me.I think they should buy back this truck in my opinion nobody should have this problem with a brand new truck purchased in January 2021.steelworker96@gmail.com

2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.6 ft. SB (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 10A)
Bought a 2021 AT4 with 3.0L Duramax. Ordered it and waited 4 months for it to arrive. Love the ride & engine. Had to be towed to dealer with 1,236 miles due to a "transmission module issue." Been 3 days haven't heard back. Think transmission might've blown. Wouldn't go in reverse, would go into reverse position but wouldn't move. Engine power was reduced & check engine light came on. The … 10 speed transmission was supposed to be solid.... be cautious
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, so we've included reviews for other years of the Sierra 1500 since its last redesign.
