The 2022 model year version of the GMC Sierra 1500 will debut early next year, but the date remains unannounced. In the meantime, the truck is already rolling around wrapped in thick camo. Judging by the sheer amount of wrapping going on, we should be looking forward to major design changes – new headlights and bumpers are pretty much guaranteed, and likely more.
Additionally, it looks like the trim
version being tested is a Denali – note the chrome-coated mirrors, door handles
and moldings. Finally, the radiator grille sports a different kind of mesh in
its lower part. We cannot say for sure if it is a deliberate design decision or
just a decoy that will not go into production.
Industry observers tend to agree that the
new pickup truck will keep its usual engine palette, which consists of three
engines. There’s a 3.0L Duramax diesel rated at 281 PS and
624 Nm of torque, a V8 5.3 DFM good for 360 PS and 518 Nm, and a V8 6.2 DFM capable of 426 PS and 624 Nm.
