There is no shortage of options when it comes to finding capable workhorses in the American automotive landscape, but there are a few that certainly lead the pack. Automakers like GMC have an edge in the industry and are renowned for building exceptional trucks that can meet all your demands whether you're towing a heavy load or needing an everyday workhorse to get you to and from work and handle projects around the house. This leaves automakers like Toyota to work tirelessly on models like the Tundra with the hopes of catching up to the competition. We see this firsthand when comparing the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2022 Toyota Tundra.
GMC's position at the helm of innovation in the industry is immediately apparent in the 2022 Sierra 1500. The truck is laden with modern conveniences, luxurious features, and intuitive technology that send its value soaring far above its starting price. What's even more impressive is that GMC consistently updates the Sierra to meet the demands of American drivers, proving that GMC is acutely attuned to its customers and their needs.
Toyota continues its reign as a popular automaker in America and is highly favored since models like the Tacoma and 4Runner hold their value exceptionally well. However, a quick glance at any of these models, including the Tundra, shows that Toyota isn't focused on ushering its fleet into a new era of modern technology. This is apparent in the 2022 Tundra, which marks the truck's first redesign in 15 years and embodies Toyota's hope that the truck will finally pull itself out of the shadows and earn its place among legends like the Sierra 1500.
GMC knows that drivers like to have choices, and that's exactly what you'll find in the 2022 Sierra 1500's powertrain lineup. The Sierra 1500 is designed for peak performance wherever the road leads, but that performance depends solely on your driving needs and preferences. What good is a truck that doesn't offer the power you truly need? With the Sierra 1500, you won't have to find out.
A 2.7-liter turbo high-output engine comes standard on the Sierra 1500 and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Updated for 2022 to deliver more power and capability, the 2.7-liter churns out 310 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque with a maximum trailering capacity of up to 9,400 pounds.
If you're looking for more capability, GMC answers with the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 and the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8. The 5.3-liter is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission on 2WD models or a 10-speed on 4WD models and delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, while the 6.2-liter is paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission and churns out the Sierra's top power at 420 horses.
If you're a diesel fan, the Sierra's available Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel will deliver more than you ever expected. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Duramax churns out best-in-class 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This power is responsible for Sierra's maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds.
Surprisingly, Toyota doesn't give you many powertrain options on the 2022 Tundra. Instead, the redesigned Tundra comes standard with Toyota's new i-FORCE 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that's mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. This pairing delivers 389 horsepower, which is far less than the power you'll find on the Sierra. Toyota does offer a more powerful hybrid version of the V6, which is an interesting option, but don't expect to get exceptional fuel economy out of it. At 20 MPG combined, it falls far behind the Sierra's 26 MPG combined diesel engine.
Think about how much you rely on modern technology to get through your day. Your smartphone keeps you connected and informed, cruise control helps you navigate the roadway, and virtual assistants like Alexa give us the ability to use our voices to get things done. Now, imagine this type of technology centralized in a truck like the 2022 Sierra 1500.
The Sierra 1500 is legions ahead of competitors like the Toyota Tundra when it comes to cutting-edge technology. Both models offer expansive touchscreen displays with infotainment systems that give you access to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration, but GMC manages to take this technology one step further. The Sierra's technology is designed to make your time behind the wheel safer and more enjoyable while also keeping you connected and informed.
The Sierra engineers the confidence you need on the road with an 8-camera system that delivers the most camera views in the segment. These 14 unique views give you a view of every angle around the truck and an accompanying trailer, which extends your visibility. You truly have an extra set of eyes watching the road for you and alerting you to potential hazards and collisions.
While the Sierra's digital driver information display is impressive, it's even more so when paired with the available 15-inch head-up display that puts vital information like your speed, navigation cues, phone alerts, and more on the windshield ahead. Shifting your focus slightly to the right brings you to the available rear camera mirror that gives you a wider and less obstructed view behind the truck at all times.
The Tundra is a little lacking in the technology department but strives to make up for it with its center touchscreen display that's home to the Panoramic View Monitor. While the tool gives you a 360-degree view around the truck, it's only one view compared to the Sierra's best-in-class 14 views. This gives the 2022 Sierra 1500 another significant advantage over the Tundra, especially for those looking for a truck that offers every modern convenience imaginable.
Trucks like the 2022 Sierra 1500 and the 2022 Tundra are designed to work hard, which is apparent by the power they deliver and the capability they offer. But how do the trucks make carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer easier? With a suite of functional features that allow you to work smarter and not harder.
The 2022 Sierra 1500 leads the Tundra in trailering features with the exclusive ProGrade Trailering System. This suite of intelligent trailering technology makes it easier to hitch and tow, complete pre-departure checklists, monitor tire pressure, check the trailer lights, and more. The system's functionality extends further by giving you the option to create five custom trailer profiles, all of which you can access via the myGMC Mobile app on your smartphone. You won't find anything comparable to this on the Tundra.
When you aren't towing a heavy load, you can haul cargo with confidence and ease thanks to the Sierra's high-strength steel bed that offers the most cargo volume in the segment at 89.1 cubic feet. Equipped with 12 standard tie-downs and powerful LED lights, the bed is easy to access with the integrated cornerstep rear bumper. This access is even easier when you equip the Sierra with the MultiPro Tailgate, which builds on the traditional tailgate and offers six unique functions that make accessing and loading or unloading cargo in the bed easier and more efficient. GMC adds another perk to the unique tailgate with the available MultiPro Audio System by Kicker that equips the tailgate with a premium audio system with Bluetooth capability.
GMC's Super Cruise technology rounds out the Sierra's functional features and is the industry's first true hands-free driver-assist technology. Using a driver attention system to monitor your gaze and LiDAR map data to determine your location, Super Cruise takes over steering, acceleration, and braking on over 200,000 miles of compatible roadways throughout the United States and Canada. It even works when trailering and can automatically sense additional drag from a trailer and make adjustments as needed to accelerate and stop the rig.
You won't find anything like Super Cruise on the 2022 Tundra, which is a capable hauler that can tow up to 12,000 pounds. However, towing a heavy load in the Tundra means a little more vigilance on your end since the truck also isn't equipped with anything comparable to the ProGrade Trailering System. Instead, you'll find a Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist to help you navigate the trailer in reverse and an ultra-durable composite bed with a tailgate release bump switch that lets you bump the left taillight to open the bed.
The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2022 Toyota Tundra are impressive workhorses that balance power and capability with convenience and innovation. However, one truck achieves this balance effortlessly, and that's the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. As GMC's best-selling truck, the Sierra 1500 has earned its place as an icon on the road as it continues to prove its value and build on the GMC legacy.
