5 reasons to buy the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500

1. Technology to make towing easier

If you spend time pulling hitch or gooseneck trailers, let the towing tech in a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 speed up the process. A camera system offers up to 15 views around the truck, including a hitch view and a view that helps you see around the sides of a trailer. When you activate the turn signal while driving, the 2022 GMC Sierra displays a camera view highlighting up to twice the length of a compatible conventional trailer. It helps identify if any cars are blocking your trailer before changing lanes. A trailering app integrated into the infotainment takes you through general hookup checklists, lets you configure the trailer brake controller, and even monitors trailer tire pressures (if your trailer supports it). These features are available as packages on any 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 trim or standard on SLT and higher models.

2. Heavy-duty engine options

Moving a heavy load takes muscle and torque. The 2022 GMC Sierra has two engine options with plenty of both, including a diesel option for impressive hauling. The base-level engine in a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 is a 6.6L V8 gasoline engine, pumping out 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. An optional 6.6L turbocharged diesel engine puts out a whopping 910 lb-ft of torque, translating into serious towing capacity. A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 2WD with a diesel engine can tow up to an estimated 18,500 pounds when properly equipped.

3. Integrated functionality for everyday life

The 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 has some functional touches that may prove helpful on the job site or your next weekend project. Twelve cargo tie-downs are placed strategically around the truck bed, where you'll use them most to secure cargo. A Multipro® tailgate (SLE trim and higher) has six positions, varying from entry step to bed length extension. LED bed lighting and a 120-volt household plug turn the bed into a light-duty mobile workspace.

4. A trim to match your style

No matter how you like your truck, there's a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 trim to match your style. If it's no-frills, all-function you're after, the Pro and SL trims get you all the essential features without any extras. Surround yourself with luxurious features and the latest technology when you get inside a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali. If tackling the unexplored is more your style, check out the off-road-ready AT4 trim, upgraded to endure even the roughest trails. Finally, the mid-range 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT combines luxury touches, in-demand technology, and comfort features into an all-around package.

5. Brains to match the brawn

Building on the available trailering tech, the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 has the additional technology features you want. Smartphone integration, a pair of USB ports, and a seven-inch touchscreen are standard on all models. The SLE gets an upgraded eight-inch touchscreen and an available Wi-Fi hotspot.

Useful driver aids like lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning are standard. A high-definition top-down surround-view camera and parking sensors are added to the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT and higher models.
