General Motors unveiled the fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 late last month, introducing a variety of changes and updates over the pre-refresh 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and stop-gap 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited. Now, we’re taking a closer look at pricing for the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and how it compares to the stop-gap 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited.
As a reminder, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited bridges the gap between the pre-refresh 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, offering much of the same content and features of the 2021 model year.
By comparison, the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 arrives with a host of updates, starting with the introduction of two new trim levels, namely the new Sierra AT4X off-roader and range-topping Sierra Denali Ultimate. The refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra also offers new engine updates, with the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine now producing 20 percent more torque, rated at a peak figure of 420 pound-feet. What’s more, models equipped with the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax now get a boost to towing, with a new rating of 13,200 pounds.
The refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 also deletes the naturally aspirated 4.3L V6 LV3 gasoline engine and naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L82 and gasoline engine from the powertrain lineup, making the 2.7L I4 L3B the standard engine. The naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine and naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine round out the available powertrains.
Some of the biggest updates can be found in the cabin, where the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 features a totally overhauled interior layout stuffed with the latest technology. Standouts here include a new 13.4-inch infotainment screen, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and Electronic Precision Shift. GM’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous drive system is standard on the range-topping 2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate.
Also notable is a rename of the base-model GMC Sierra 1500 trim level, which is now known as the GMC Sierra Pro with the introduction of the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500.
As for the pricing differences, the lower trim levels are slightly less expensive for the refreshed model, but more expensive for up-level trims. Check out the exact numbers in the table below. All prices listed include a $1,695 destination freight charge.

Bring back the 8 inch screen, the new ones to big and cumbersome.
That is incredible that the trims such as the SLE and elevation trim actually see a price reduction despite the new interior and the increased torque output of the base engine. In all honesty, even for the Denali that’s not a big increase given the number of improvements they have done.
Just priced me out of a at4x or zr2 which will probably be similarly priced. At4 or LT trail boss is doable.
Me too. $14k between an AT4 and AT4X I cannot justify.
Love the upgrades to the engines particularly to the 3.0L Duramax. The 5.3L was an excellent workhorse but it’s time was coming.
Current 5.3 has not seen a major
update since 2013 as a 2014 YM. 8 years with the only update being DFM vs AFM is a strong run. The 5.3 IMHO isn’t obsolete as much as it’s neglected. I’ve seen some people get +20 HP out of the L83 by just installing the manifold of the 6.2 on it. I think Chevy is purposely keeping the 5.3 down to elevate the 3.0 duramax and 6.2. IMHO, it’s still the perfect truck motor if you don’t need to tow a mountain or race. It’s a perfect combo of economy, efficiency and power. I’d like to see one in my traverse as they’ve priced me out suburbans. They used to put the 5.3 in the impala and el Camino fwd.
It was a wonderful motor indeed (as a is the 4.8 in my van). It’s the need to increase mpg that’s doing it and eventually the other v-8’s in.
Were they just getting rid of the 5.3 L82with afm and keeping the 5.3 L84 with dfm?
My 2017 with the 5.3 L82 with the 8-speed Tran is just a dog. But it’s not the motors fault. It’s that damn transmission.
That’s why I’m looking to trade up to 6.2 with 10-speed I’ll pay the extra gas cost.
When will we hear something on the 2500hd’s? Every item has been 1509’s
That will be the next thing.
