2022 GMC Sierra AT4X and Sierra Denali Ultimate

All-new technologies and new levels of premium craftsmanship and capability make the new 2022 GMC Sierra the most advanced and luxurious Sierra ever.

The new lineup is led by the new Sierra Denali Ultimate trim, the most advanced and appointed Denali model ever and the most advanced and luxurious pickup in its class.
