The 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 does everything you want a heavy-duty pickup to do. It has a powerful engine, plenty of space in the bed for your cargo, and a range of trims to make sure you end up with a vehicle that does what you need it to do, all at a price that outperforms the competition. There are plenty of reasons to make the Sierra 2500 your next pickup, but here are just a few to get started! 4 Things to Know About the New 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 1. Powerful Performance All configurations of the Sierra 2500 are fitted with either a 6.0L V.8 or a 6.6L V8 engine. The 6.0L pumps out 360 horsepower and the 6.6L bumps that up to 445hp. All trim levels can be either rear- or four-wheel drive, paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox. For the first time in a heavy-duty pickup of this class, you can also upgrade to a 10-speed gearbox, offering even more control when you're towing or hauling a heavy load. 2. Mix and Match to Suit Your Needs The Sierra 2500 isn't a one-size-fits-all vehicle, because you have five options when it comes to the trim to make sure you end up with a pickup to suit your specifications. Not all five are available with every style of cab and bed, but each configuration has plenty of range. With the standard bed and crew cab, you can have the Pro, SLE or SLT trims, with AT4 and Denali available in other configurations. The Pro trim is the simplest, with 17” wheels, a 7” touchscreen control panel, Bluetooth streaming, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities, as well as lane control and stability assistance system. The other trims have more, bigger features, stretching up to include 20” wheels, voice recognition technology, and an 8” touchscreen control panel. 3. Competitively Priced As mentioned, there are five trims available for the 2500, and they range in price from the Pro, at $36,200, up to the Denali at $65,500. That puts it lower on the price list than the majority of similar vehicles in its class, cheaper at the low end but also saving you thousands on the most expensive configurations when compared to the competition. 4. Huge Hauling and Towing Capacity The Sierra 2500 goes all-out on cargo and towing capacity. In the largest configurations, you can haul a payload of up to 7,442lbs, and the V8 engine enables 910lb-ft of torque, which lets you tow anywhere up to 35,500lbs behind the vehicle. The long bed option stretches out to 98.27 inches, available even if you pair it with the double-sized cab, so you don't have to compromise on passenger space in order to get your materials on board. So whether you're already familiar with pickups and you're looking for an upgrade, or you've never owned one and want to get a piece of the action, the Sierra 2500 is a perfect vehicle for you.

The pandemic has changed the way most people work and live, including those of us in the automotive sector. It's even created a chip shortage that has impacted automotive production. You might think this inventory shortage effectively ends your dreams of a new car, but just the opposite is true. With custom order options, you can request the exact make, model, and trim you have your eye on - and have it delivered with no interruption to your schedule. Chip Shortage, Inventory Shortage, and Placing a Custom Order A shortage of semiconductor chips is being felt around the globe, especially in the automotive industry. This is largely owed to the shock of the pandemic, which forced many automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to shut down and stop processes in the second quarter of 2020. In so doing, most manufacturers also canceled parts orders that initiated a trickle effect down the supply chain. Chips suppliers were forced to find other markets to sell to, including manufacturers of tablets, PCs, and gaming equipment. Added to this is the rollout of the 5G smartphone, which has kept chips suppliers extremely busy. So much so that many other industries - such as military, aerospace, and automotive sectors - are now facing stock shortages. The Link Between Chips and Automobiles Semiconductor chips power most of the technology on modern vehicles. From autonomous driving aids and cell phone integration to power steering and emergency braking systems, these chips play crucial roles. Without them, automobile manufacturers have been forced to slow production. This means fewer new cars are available than, say, a year or two ago. But rest assured you can still buy a new car, and you can do so from the convenience of your home, office, or another comfortable spot. Even better, you can have your car made to order so you get exactly the trim and specifications you want.

Some trims, such as the Denali, have standard navigation with this system. Safety These days, driver-assist features are a prominent must-have on every driver's new car list.
