General Motors unveiled the fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 last October, pulling the sheets on a long list of changes and upgrades for the light-duty pickup. Now, however, GM Authority has learned that the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500’s power-folding trailering mirrors are currently unavailable to order.
The power-folding trailering mirrors are tagged with RPO code DQS, and it is currently unclear why the feature is unavailable to order. The full name of the feature in question is power-folding/manual-extending, power-adjustable vertical trailering mirrors with heated upper glass, lower convex mirrors, turn signal indicators, puddle lamps, perimeter lighting, auxiliary lighting and memory.
Previously, the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra’s power-folding trailering mirrors were offered as an option for SLT, AT4, and Denali trim levels. Pricing was set at $260 option. The power-folding trailering mirrors were not offered on 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Pro, SLE, Elevation, AT4X, or Denali Ultimate trim levels.
Standard mirrors
To note, the 2022 GMC Sierra’s power-folding trailering mirrors are not to be confused with the manual-folding/extending, power-adjustable vertical trailering mirrors with heated upper glass, lower convex mirrors, integrated turn signals, clearance lamps and auxiliary lighting, tagged with RPO code DPO. The manual-folding trailering mirrors are still available to order, and offered as optional on 2022 GMC Sierra Pro, SLE, and Elevation trim levels. The manual-folding mirrors are not offered on SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, or Denali Ultimate trims.
In short, refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT, AT4, and Denali trims are currently unavailable with trailering mirrors. Sierra AT4X and Denali Ultimate trims were already unavailable with trailering mirrors.
Standard mirrors
As a reminder, the fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 is offered with four engine options, starting with the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, recently uprated to 430 pound-feet of torque. Further engine options include the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. The GMC Sierra rides on the GM T1 platform. Production takes place at the GM Silao Plant in Mexico and GM Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana.

I tow quite a bit and find the standard mirrors on my 21 Denali sufficient for most trailers you can safely tow with a half ton. I realize the automakers have been adding some ridiculously high trailer ratings to pick ups, but if you’re towing something large enough that you need the larger trailering mirrors (like a 5th wheel camper or a 28′ enclosed car trailer) you should probably be towing with a 2500 or 3500 anyway.
It’s interesting that the SLT pictured is missing the MultiPro tailgate. When the “new” trucks were introduced in 2019, you could delete the MultiPro for a credit, but it’s now standard with every trim level except the base Pro, and can no longer be deleted.

Every towing situation doesn’t fit your specific towing narrative. More specifically, it’s not always about weight.
My tri-toon is wider than my truck and sits on a bunk trailer. So the giant ass toons are right in the mirror field of vision and I can’t see a thing without tow mirrors.
All in it doesn’t weigh more than 5,500lbs so I absolutely should not have to get a 2500 or 3500 JUST to get tow mirrors.
Really? It’s pretty hard for the driver to reach out the passenger window and pull that mirror in when you need to.
Blah blah blah. And the list goes on of settle for less. Well GM your losing customers enjoy your declining future.
This shouldn’t be confused with the regular power folding mirrors. You left this part out. The power folding trailer mirrors are different. Please post all facts before writing such an article.
