View all 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 models for sale near 60606 The Most Luxurious Off-Road Pickup? Other standard features include a moonroof, a huge head-up display and the GMC Pro Safety suite of features such as forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with blind spot warning, automatic high-beam headlights and more. The Denali Ultimate will also feature Super Cruise, GM’s semi-autonomous hands-free cruise control, as standard (it’s optional on the lesser Denali trim and not available on any other trim level … yet). Under the hood, there’s only one engine offered: the top 420-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case. Unique 22-inch wheels are fitted, as is special badging. On the outside, the typical Denali chrome treatment gets toned down just a tad, darkened to become “Vader” chrome on the grille and door trim. A new 12-speaker Bose premium audio system is standard, with speakers located behind real stainless-steel grilles. The seats all feature embossed topographical maps of Mount Denali, while the fronts are 16-way adjustable and massaging. The headliner is microsuede, as are the visors and pillars, while the handles are leather-wrapped. It’s trimmed in leather and real open-pore wood, as are the doors, console lid, and front and rear seats. Both the Denali and Denali Ultimate get another new dashboard, different from the new one in the SLE, SLT and AT4, featuring even more luxurious materials and designs. Since a lot of customers spec’d their Sierra Denali pickups with just about every conceivable option anyway, GMC decided to just bake ‘em all into a new top trim level called the Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate. The column shifter is out for any truck fitted with that center console (meaning anything SLE and above), replaced by a console shifter. A new dash stretches the width of the interior with improved materials and layout, while GMC-specific controls for climate and other functions grace a new center console. The gauge cluster also gets a new look, with a standard digital and reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital display, also standard on SLE-and-up trims. And just like the Chevy, there’s a new 13.4-inch horizontal multimedia touchscreen standard from the SLE on up. Just like the 2022 Chevy Silverado, the old interior will carry over for commercial fleet trucks while consumer-grade trucks (SLE, SLT and AT4) will get new digs. Inside, all trims of the Sierra get a new interior - except for the base work truck, the Sierra Pro model. Under the hood are the same changes seen in the Silverado, including the updated turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that makes a whopping 420 pounds-feet of torque, and an increased tow rating for trucks equipped with the turbo-diesel 3.0-liter engine and Max Trailering Package of up to 13,200 pounds, depending on equipment. And the SLT and Denali get some new wheel designs. There are new dual-projector LED headlamps, as well, with animated lighting sequences on some models as a “welcome feature.” There are three new colors: Titanium Rush Metallic, Dynamic Blue Metallic and Desert Sand Metallic. What (Almost) All Models GetĪll Sierras get new styling up front, with a longer, wider look that incorporates new headlights with the GMC C-shaped running lights that sweep into the new grille. What else has GMC updated on the Sierra for ‘22? It’s a pretty thorough mid-cycle refresh, to use some industry jargon, but the changes run much more than skin-deep. But wait, there’s more: The AT4 off-road model has proven so popular that GMC has added an AT4X trim, boosting that truck’s off-road abilities by adding the same suspension and chassis bits seen on the Silverado ZR2 but amping up the luxury quotient inside the truck, as well. The goal here is to boost the luxury chops of the Sierra even beyond where the previous model was, and it’s doing so by creating a new Denali Ultimate trim.
