2023 GMC Sierra 1500 vs. 2022 GMC Sierra 1500
Overview
Pickup trucks are the go-to vehicle for drivers who need capability, and the GMC Sierra has always been a premier choice. The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 is a shining example of everything a pickup truck can be, but you'll need to understand how it compares to the 2022 Sierra 1500 to determine which is best for you. Take a look at the most important new features.
Off-Road Capability
While the 2022 Sierra 1500 and its predecessors offered impressive off-road capability, the 2023 model offers the AT4X AEV Edition. This version of the 2023 Sierra 1500 sports steel front and rear bumpers complete with recovery points and a winch in the front. More skid plates and a rear differential have been added as well. Note that this is all available as an extra package on the AT4X trim, which was first introduced in the 2022 model.
Super Cruise
Among the 2023 Sierra 1500's most alluring features is the Super Cruise system, which is a handy bit of semi-autonomous driving technology. When riding on mapped highways, you can allow the truck to essentially drive itself in a hands-free experience. Just make sure that you keep your eye on the road.
Towing Capacity
A crowning achievement of the 2022 Sierra 1500 is its maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds when properly equipped. For the 2023 model year, the upgrades were focused primarily on performance and technology. Fortunately, that means it retains its 13,200-pound towing capacity.
While both the 2022 and the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 have impressive towing capacity, the latest iteration has a bit more to offer in terms of off-road capabilities and advanced technology.
