The fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 isn’t short on appeal, but now, one builder is taking it to the next level with a series of custom touches, as seen in the following video.
Coming to us from Dave Sinclair Customs in Saint Louis, Missouri, this custom 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 upgrades the original factory vehicle without overdoing it in any one area. The end result is a tasteful combination of bespoke touches and OEM quality that’s certain to turn heads on the street.
Dave Sinclair Custom started with a fresh 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, the off-roader trim of the lineup that slots in below the even-more-capable Sierra AT4X introduced for the 2022 model year refresh. The exterior is covered in Desert Sand Metallic paint (paint code GTL), one of 10 exterior colors offered for the refreshed pickup, offered as a premium upgrade for an additional $495. Desert Sand Metallic is only available on Elevation, AT4, and AT4X trim levels.
Complementing the attractive factory premium paint is a set of aftermarket wheels and tires, replacing the factory 18-inch rollers with new 22-inch units from Fuel. The new wheels have a split-spoke design and bead-lock style outer rim, as well as a black finish, giving the truck a dramatic new look. Wrapping the wheels are 33-inch Nitto Grappler tires.
This custom 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 was also upgraded with a front-level kit, while the emblems were replaced with new black emblems on the grille and on the tailgate. Some of the chrome bits were also deleted with black paint.
Under the hood, the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra AT4 can be had with one of two engine options, including the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Both engine options connect to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission. This particular example is fitted with the 6.2L V8 gasoline engine.
Finally, under the body panels, the refreshed GMC Sierra 1500 rides on the GM T1 platform. Production takes place at the GM Silao plant in Mexico and GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana.

I bet those 22’s never see dirt.
What’s the point of getting an AT4 if you are just going throw 22 inch wheels on it? 33 -34 inch tires with a 17 or 18 inch wheel looks best in my honest opinion.
Price?
With Nitto grapplers at that. Loud, and inefficient. With these wheels aren’t even good off road!!! True brodozer.
Tasteful? Its the suburban dad special. Level, bigger rims, aggressive tires and a leveling kit. It’s is quite literally what most trucks get done in the suburbs that never see dirt on the higher trim levels. When will this ridiculous black wheel fad die?
Commonsense,
What gets old is GM authority, the only trucks they show are black wheel trucks. who ever runs GM Authority is a young single direction person. , but ever day its black wheel trucks with black out features. and of course GM has unfinished garbage plastic because of Mary Barry ass . GM trucks use to look good, and in year 5 still looked good. l
It’s because all the chrome production has been moved to China because EPA permits, look at Harley and all the black crap and convince people that’s the style and charge more for it!
The only thing I see, was I would of kept 20″ rims with tall tires. The low profile tire is not good with a high 4×4 truck, as it messes up the ride.
Like the blackout emblems and leaving red ones. Not fond of black wheels (everyone is obsessed with black), machined aluminum looks better and with gas upward of $4.75 and climbing I wonder what how those monster tires kills mileage. I guess if you can afford a $90 plus thousand dollar truck, you ain’t worryin’ about gas prices!
GM Authority only post trucks with Black wheels and black out features. I wonder if the wives of GM Authority have black hair, black finger nails, black clothes, black Hip boots, black lip stick, black toe nails, and black eye lashes.
