2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Review: Luxury Tow Rig
The 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali is a truck that’s ready to work. It won’t only put in the work, it will also do it while looking great. The iconic Denali chrome is seen all over the massive front grille. The big hood also sported some a functional scoop to make sure things are kept cool under heavy workloads. The big 20” wheels in the high gloss black color, helped with giving a Darth Vader-like feel to the truck.
The heavy duty suspension can do double work with being set up for heavy towing as well as providing a very comfortable ride. This loaner came equipped with the Kicker sound system that’s built into the Multipro tailgate. I was able to enjoy music as I cleaned my garage and the bluetooth system made sure I didn’t have to run to the truck to change the track.
Inside the Denali, it’s all about making long hauls in luxury. The big and comfortable seats had both venting and heating to help combat whatever the outside temperature may be. The only thing this lacked was the updated infotainment system that GMC has announced for late 2022 models. The incredible HD Surround view camera system will make things easier to see when you try to park this truck that’s 250 inches long!
The massive 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel V8 adds to the larger than life truck. With 910 lb.-ft. of torque, you’ll be able to tow 18,500 lbs! What I loved about this engine was the linear power delivery compared the the Ford F-350 we reviewed that had a very abrupt climb in power. Although it wasn’t as fun as the F-350, the power delivery made for easier and predictable acceleration.
With the Denali chrome, high towing capabilities, and the Denali luxury touches, we would definitely consider the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali as a big tow rig.
