2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited Test Drive Review: Old Dog, Impressive Tricks

As has become a tradition among full-size American pickups, when a new generation arrives, the old one lives alongside it. That's exactly the case with the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited, a continuation of last year's Sierra 1500 in light of a new generation's arrival. Think of it as the old model lineup at a slightly reduced price, giving you a solid truck with all the necessities and none of the extra frills, competing with trucks of a similar ilk like the Ram 1500 Classic and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD. It's ideal for those who need a workhorse on a budget or a cheap work truck that is supremely capable, able to tow up to 13,000 lbs in the correct configuration. You can even get a Denali trim that gives you a little bit of luxury on a budget. With four available engines including a 2.7-liter turbo gasoline engine with 310 horsepower, a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp, a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 hp, and a torquey 3.0-liter diesel with 277 hp and 460 lb-ft, the Sierra 1500 Limited has something for everyone.

We were handed the key to a brand new Sierra 1500 Limited AT4 equipped with the Duramax turbodiesel motor for a week. This larger-than-life truck quickly endeared itself to us with its buttery-smooth torque delivery and general comfort. With three cab styles and as many box lengths, as well as trims that cater for everything from work to off-roading and luxury, too, the 2022 Sierra Limited isn't just a cheap cash-grab - it's a solid option in the USA's most demanding segment. The problem is the new Sierra isn't much more expensive but is vastly more capable, making higher trims in the Sierra Limited lineup tough to justify.
