2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation

In the Sierra 1500 trim lineup, the Elevation is a mid-grade model, giving you more features than the base Pro and SLE, but less luxury than the SLT and Denali. That means you get a lot for your money, but you don’t have to spend too much on a brand new truck.

In addition to a long list of features, this particular trim model also offers an impressive range of configurations. Elevation shoppers can choose from three body styles. Rear-wheel-drive models are available with the crew cab and short box and double cab and standard box. If you’re shopping for a four-wheel-drive Elevation, you can add one extra option to the list: the crew cab and standard box.

The Sierra 1500 Elevation offers three engine options, leaving you to decide how much power you need in a daily driver:

• 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (310 horsepower, 348 lb-ft)
• Optional 5.3L V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft)
• Optional 3.0L Duramax turbodiesel inline-six (277 hp, 460 lb-ft)Optional 3.0L Duramax turbodiesel inline-six (277 hp, 460 lb-ft)
• 10-speed automatic transmission
• Rear-wheel drive
• Optional four-wheel drive

All three engine options send power to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. Although this Sierra 1500 doesn’t come standard with four-wheel drive, you can add this trail-friendly performance gear as an option.

These trucks are handsomely equipped with modern features, adding to the robust standard lineup with unique exterior design, cloth seating, and LED fog lights. Just like lesser trim models, the Elevation keeps you connected with the latest smartphone-friendly infotainment. Creature comforts include heated front seats and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
