The 2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate Is The Pinnacle in Luxury Half-Ton Trucks
When the all-new #GMCSierra was introduced in 2019, it offered a plethora of engine options, tough capability, and handsome styling. However, the interior of the Sierra was very lackluster compared to equally new and older rivals. For 2022, that has been addressed with a completely refreshed #SierraDenaliUltimate and its fully redesigned interior. The latest #GMCSierraDenali has enough wood, leather, and tech to make luxury brands green with envy, and #GMC has also introduced a new premium off-road version called the #SierraAT4X that is essentially GMC's version of the new #SilveradoZR2. The entire #Sierra lineup gets the updated interior with a new 13.4" touch screen in the center stack on all but the base trims.

I've owned f150s for the past 10 years, buying a new one every other year or so. I use sierras as work trucks. The ONLY reason I refused to buy one was the dated interior. With this refresh/update I finally purchased my first GMC. They nailed it imo. I love the truck.

This is my dream truck. First thing I did on mine was add the GMC front and rear Brembo brake package and Borla cat-back exhaust with quad tips in gloss black. Hated the chrome HDMI port looking exhaust tips. The truck stops on a dime with the brake upgrades. Immediately swapped out the crappy Bridgestone Alenza highway tires for some Toyo Open Country AT/III that increased the ride quality, control and comfort dramatically. Next I added the OEM metal Under-Body Skid Shield Package to replace the cheap factory plastic one. Installed an S&W Cold Air Intake with the oil filter and this 6.2L engine breaths effortlessly and gets up real fast. Tip, put her in Sport mode with Auto 4-wheel drive engaged and it’ll rip off the line. Lastly, I removed the chrome lug nuts and replaced them with black chrome ones to match my black wheels. Much cleaner look and the wheels appear to float. At 6’5” this truck has plenty of legroom for me and I love the high height of the seating position. Only complaint is the seats are a little stiff and smaller compared to my previous Ram 1500 Laramie. The 6.2L engine does drink gas so get the Duramax 3.0L turbocharged diesel engine if you’re worried about the high cost of fuel.
I unloaded the 2020 GMC Sierras/Silverados off from the trains where they are transported from and I fell in love with them, but seeing this updated Sierra really makes me fall in love with this truck all over again. Definitely my dream truck.
You are my go-to for all car reviews. You take your time, hit all the right areas, and speak frankly when it comes to your opinion. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Frankly quite a few vehicles I’ve owned has a issue or two or a recall. Other than the very very rare crank issue before it was fixed was the only issue I had with the truck.

I'm hoping they'll make the move to this new style interior on the 2500/3500 trucks. Such a gorgeous exterior already, paired with this interior would be the best looking truck on the market.

Sofyan please show vehicle light controls and other switches off to the left hand side of the steering wheel and the SOS and other buttons on the ceiling of the vehicle clearly. Make sure you cover these details on the next line-up of cars to come, Sofyan!!
I’m ok with standard size sunroof. You have to consider crash ratings and structural rigidity. These are important considerations. Just because other brands do something it doesn’t me GM has to follow. Pano sunroof also cuts into rear seat head room.
Looks so much better than it’s Chevy counterpart

Great walk around
Thanks for sharing!! I love everything about the Ultimate but, GM needs to use the lower front end trim of the AT4X instead of the full chrome trim. It would look 100% better with the Vader dark chrome. Thanks again, Great Job!! 👍
I wish the Denali Ultimate was an AT4 and Denali combined. The AT4X is sweet but that truck was also a bit of a letdown. They needed to make sure they beat the cheaper ZR2 in at least off-road capability but they didn't!
Thank you Rob for your hard work!
I don’t even like GMC vehicles but this one looks really good
Beautiful truck.. Still would perfer the at4x.. Would def suit me better

I mean you can buy a basic trim truck and they cost somewhere in the $30K range. I don't get this argument. They have all the different trim levels on almost every truck out there. Pick the one you want. This isn't the 80s where trucks drove like shit and could barely haul half the weight trucks do now. They are more of a work truck than ever before.
@Sofyan what kind of shoes are the ones you're wearing in this video? I like them
Gmc was the best looking truck and now they updated interior to the best. But I don't have 85K 😔
You made my google tell me a joke😂😂
Fun fact. GM is actually number one in truck sells but because they split the models up amongst the internal brands (Chevy-GMC-Cadillac) each sell does not combine for total sells like the F-150.
I don't like that these automakers have gotten rid of CD players, many people have CDs, ( not Gen Xrs), but they're not the ones buying Silverado Denali's, back in the day, they phased out cassette players very slowly.
If this is a refresh does that mean there is a new design coming in 2024?
Oh ya big interior refresh and Best of the best review team
Base Denali is the way to go.
Beautiful truck, wish my 2020 had this interior, but jesus, no pano sunroof and no auto windows up and for all 4?… why?!?! lol..
The gmc is technically #1 because it's basically a Silverado and together they beat the f150 sales everytime.
I like this truck. I like the old school V8 more the V6 of the Tundra and Ford . Thanks for the content.
Why is the power step so thick? Seems like it could have been slimmer for a more modern look.
Glad to see GM making the Sierra a little more competitive outside of utility, paying Cadillac money for a slightly heavier Silverado was starting to be hard to justify
GMC always Nice!
If 3500/350 come out would you ever go over those or recommend a channel that might talk about future news of those trucks. I pull a RV that’s to heavy for this

So Sofyan is there an infotainment screen size that is too big for you? Every year it seams last years screen is now too small. If 3 years ago an 8” screen more than legible why do desire bigger and bigger screens? I do love your reviews but it just seems you harp on the usable screen size too much.
You said it was in its 5th gen when there have only been 4 generations since 1999
The seats are just soo hard. Ford owns the seat comfort in the limited and platinum trims.
Did anyone noticed that there are no grab handles above the doors? Not so much fun on the country roads for passengers.
Don’t care about the panoramic sunroof, but miss the 12v outlet (for cameras/radar detectors).
The panoramic sunroof will require a whole new chassis according to a GM engineer. The 2022 truck is just a very nice mid-cycle refresh. Mainly for the interior
