General Motors unveiled the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 last year, pulling the sheets on the fully updated Light Duty pickup in October. Among the changes was the introduction of the GMC Sierra AT4X, an even-more capable off-roading model. Now, we have new photos of the GMC Sierra AT4X out and about in the real world.
For those who may be unaware, the GMC Sierra AT4X slots in above the standard GMC Sierra AT4 with regard to the 2022 Sierra trim level cadence. This particular example is covered in a healthy amount of road salt, but under the grim, the body panels are painted in Cayenne Red Tintcoat.
The front end of the pickup includes the new Sierra fascia, with a new grille that incorporates gray and silver horizontal slats, a red GMC badge, and an AT4X badge placed in the driver’s side lower corner. In the bumper, the AT4X includes two red tow hooks, similar to the “standard” Sierra AT4.
Viewed in profile, the 2022 GMC Sierra AT4X shows off a set of black 18-inch wheels, around which are Goodyear’s Wrangler DuraTrac Mud-Terrain tires. The rubber measures in at 265/70R18. This particular example also looks to be equipped with a set of side steps.
The suspensions spec is also built for off-roading adventures, and includes Multimatic DSSV dampers, similar to the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and Chevy Silverado ZR2. Enhanced suspension travel provides the right stuff to hit the trails with confidence.
Under the GMC Sierra AT4X are sturdy steel skid plates, which help to protect vital mechanical parts from errant bits of earth. Notably, the standard AT4X is equipped with exhaust tips that are tucked up underneath the rear bumper. This particular model, however, has exposed exhaust tips.
Those exhaust pipes are connected to the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The GM 10-speed automatic transmission and upgraded with front and rear e-locking differentials send it to all ground.
Pricing for the 2022 GMC Sierra AT4X starts at $74,995. Production for the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra takes place at the GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana and the GM Silao plant in Mexico.

the truck is plain ugly, another example of GM dark colors with no wow factor, cheap black plastic all over the exterior, stupid mounted mirrors, unfinished cheap wheel lip moldings, stupid mounted mirrors, black bumpers, black wall tires, black wheels black interior, these 80K trucks look like they need to be traded in first year cause they look 5 years old. interiors are cheap, thin seats, little tiny radio knobs, car like dash, and GM fans wonders why people are buying Ram and Ford , its cause they look good, have nice interiors, many colors,
I’m pretty harsh on GM lately and I even bought my first Ford, but your post is full of inaccuracies. I like the black wheel arches to protect from rock chips as you’re much more likely to have tires that will throw rocks on a truck, especially an offroader like this. You can get them painted though. The mirrors look cool, a bit throwback.
The interior is also heavily revised for the 22.75’s and quite nice.
I completely disagree with ur opinion.
Clearly you have not seen the interior on the refreshed trucks.

All the stuff you’re b!tching about is all a matter of personal preference. Styling is subjective, you pinecone.
It needs a bigger screen and new grill. When’s the next refresh? Guess I’ll keep driving my 2014 GMC SLT extended cab.
So go buy something else__ I had a Ford F-150 (2019) and I like my Silverado better. 🤷♂️
I think the truck is beautiful!
I like the look.
The crew cab ruins it. Looks like a bloated whale. GMC, get back to us when you offer it in a civilized size cab, and a bed that’s not borderline useless.
Why the chrome around the windows? All the media images show it with black trim. I’m probably going to end up with the AT4X but really wish it had a diesel option.
To all of you who criticize this very good looking truck, I guess you’re going to tell me that the new Tundra looks good right! Or maybe you’ll be telling me how great looking the the Ford or ram actually looks, even though the F-150 hasn’t really change since last generation. Wow!
This is the best looking light-duty truck hands down! Plus the 2022 interiors on the GM twins is so refreshing, because the interiors and exteriors, are finally compatible on both models.
In my opinion, the side-view mirror placement really detracts from the beautiful body lines of the truck. In certain daylight conditions the mirrors cast shadows across the front quarter panels creating an unappealing effect. I wouldn’t imagine mirror placement could be a deal breaker for me, but I just can’t get past it.
Trucks aren’t built for looks. If you’re shopping based on looks you’re in the 70% of buyers who have no use for a truck and buy them because you think they look cool. Go buy a nice luxury CUV. It will ride better, do everything you need and you won’t complain about a rough ride. Really tired of these trucks being bought ad status symbols, it’s why they have significantly out paced other segments in price increases. All it does it make it harder for those that actually need and use a truck for work to afford one.
BTW, the mirror placement is for function, not to win a beauty contest, shesh…
I want to see an AT4 . I ordered mine last 2 weeks ago and don’t know what the difference is going to look like…
I want to love this truck, but for $74000 it’s extremely overpriced. The Chevy ZR2 is basically the same but starts at $65100. There is no way the AT4X can justify itself costing the same as a RAM TRX or even a Ford Raptor.
I want to LOVE this truck. I want to own one too. But that price is just stupid.
Good luck buying a raptor or trx at $75k. They are both going $10-20k over MSRP. Also the at4x is fully loaded. Raptor may start at $65k but add any options or creature comforts to make it even close to the At4x interior and you are at $78-85k MSRP.
I’m a GM truck guy and have been my entire life, I really like the truck, but refuse to buy another 1/2 ton CC truck. All of these truck are built in Mexico.
Mine says it was built in Indiania
Not mine Built in Indiania
Well, Im bias because I was first exposed to GM product driving a used 1972 then bought new and owned GM products in 1978, one then 1989, one then 2001, one then 2003, one then 2012, one then 2015 and now the 2022 AT4, all these trucks were sent down the line with anywhere from 160,000 to 220,000 miles with no major work done on them. At 6’8″ 320 lbs Ive gotta say this truck has fit my every need. I needed the bigger motor with the increase in torque due to towing our boats in very difficult terrian. Hunting, Fishing and many of the aforementioned miles on back roads I can say that Im very lucky to have an AT4 with current conditions going on. Just wish I would have gone to an AT4X but none were coming in to my dealer. The interior is great and has quality unseen in those first trucks. I know eveyone is entitled to their opinions but I think sometimes we get way tooo picky. My only dislike is my AT4 was produce in Mexico.
I don’t see enough difference between the AT4x and AT4 to warrant an extra $10k price tag. Maybe its DSSV’s and massaging seats? Ordered a refreshed AT4. Coming from a Ram, been a Ram owner since 2008…08, 11, 16. Had enough, want something different.
