Differences Between the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate

GMC trucks rank among the most popular models in both the full-size and midsize classes. The introduction of the Denali trim grade proved that there was also a lot of room for some refinement in the truck segment to match all of that capability. More recently, GMC doubled down on the Sierra’s available refinement and luxury by introducing more of both in the Denali Ultimate trim grade. Let’s take a closer look at the differences between the 2022 Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate.
