2022 GMC SIERRA 1500 LIMITED CREW CAB

If you're searching for a capable, fuel-efficient full-size truck that can handle both the workday and the weekend, this 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited Crew Cab AT4 for sale at Prestige Auto Sales in Bakersfield, California deserves a serious look. With a turbocharged diesel engine, serious off-road credentials, and a well-equipped interior, this AT4 checks nearly every box for Central Valley truck buyers — and at $32,999, it delivers premium capability at a price that makes sense.

About This 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited AT4 Crew Cab

The AT4 is GMC's off-road-focused trim, positioned above the SLE and SLT and sharing serious terrain capability with only the top-tier Denali above it in the lineup. This particular example has 100,397 miles on the odometer — well within the long-term capability of the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel powertrain, which is widely regarded as one of the most durable engines available in a half-ton truck. At this mileage and price point, you're getting the lion's share of this truck's value without paying new-vehicle depreciation. The Crew Cab body style adds generous rear-seat space, and the 5 3/4-foot bed strikes the right balance between cargo room and everyday maneuverability around Bakersfield and Kern County roads.

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Performance and Engine

3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Power

Under the hood sits GMC's 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax turbo-diesel engine, paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This engine produces 277 horsepower and an impressive 460 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong towing capability — up to 9,100 lbs when properly equipped — alongside remarkable highway fuel economy in the mid-to-upper 20s MPG range. For buyers in Kern County who regularly pull trailers, haul equipment to job sites, or make long stretches on Highway 99 or Interstate 5, the diesel powertrain is a genuine game-changer compared to a comparable gas V8.

The 10-speed automatic manages gear changes efficiently, keeping the diesel in its torque-rich powerband whether you're merging onto the freeway or navigating dirt roads in the foothills east of Bakersfield. With 4WD, this Sierra is equally capable of climbing toward the Tehachapi Mountains or handling wet winter roads through the San Joaquin Valley.

GMC Sierra AT4 Features and Interior

What the AT4 Trim Includes

The AT4 trim is loaded with features that most buyers would otherwise have to add on through expensive packages. Standard AT4 equipment on the 2022 Sierra 1500 Limited includes a factory-lifted suspension with off-road-tuned shocks, skid plates for underbody protection, a locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, and distinctive AT4-exclusive exterior badging and styling. Inside, the Crew Cab offers a spacious, well-appointed cabin with available leather-appointed seating, a large infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, heated front seats, and a premium Bose audio system. GMC's MultiPro tailgate — a standout Sierra-exclusive feature — gives you six different configurations for loading cargo, sitting, or using the bed as a step ladder, something no competing truck offers at this level.

Driver assistance technology on the 2022 Sierra AT4 includes forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, rear park assist, and available HD Surround Vision camera — features that make daily driving in Bakersfield traffic safer and less stressful.

GMC Sierra 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The Sierra 1500 has built a strong reputation for long-term durability, and the 3.0L Duramax diesel in particular has earned exceptional reviews from owners and automotive press alike since its introduction. Unlike diesel engines of earlier generations, this modern inline-six runs cleanly, starts effortlessly, and requires no warm-up time. Owners consistently report low maintenance costs relative to gas engines — diesel fuel systems are simpler at the injector level, and the reduced reliance on engine braking means brake wear tends to be lower over time.

At just over 100,000 miles, this engine is genuinely hitting its stride. Diesel powertrains in half-ton trucks routinely run to 200,000 miles and beyond with routine oil changes and basic care. General Motors' 10-speed transmission has also matured considerably since its introduction and holds up well over extended mileage. For a truck buyer in Kern County looking for something that will work as hard as they do for years to come, the Sierra 1500 diesel platform is one of the most confidence-inspiring choices in the used truck market today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 a good buy?

Yes — the 2022 Sierra 1500 AT4 is widely considered one of the best-equipped off-road-capable half-ton trucks available. The AT4 trim offers genuine trail capability, a premium interior, and strong towing credentials, while the 3.0L Duramax diesel adds outstanding fuel efficiency and long-term durability that makes it one of the most compelling choices in the used full-size truck segment.

Is 100,000 miles too many for a diesel truck?

Not at all — especially not on the 3.0L Duramax. Diesel engines are built to higher tolerances than gasoline engines and are designed for high-mileage use. This engine and transmission combination is well-proven, and 100,000 miles on a properly maintained diesel is comparable to 60,000–70,000 miles on a gas engine in terms of remaining service life. Many diesel truck owners don't consider their truck "broken in" until past 150,000 miles.

What does the GMC Sierra AT4 trim include over the SLT?

The AT4 adds significant off-road hardware that the SLT does not include: a two-inch factory suspension lift, Rancho off-road shocks, front skid plates, a locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, and AT4-exclusive exterior styling. Inside, you get most of the SLT's premium interior appointments along with the off-road upgrades, making the AT4 a more versatile and well-rounded truck for buyers who want both comfort and capability.

How much can a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 3.0L diesel tow?

When properly equipped, the 2022 Sierra 1500 with the 3.0L Duramax diesel can tow up to approximately 9,100 lbs. It also has a payload capacity of around 1,580 lbs depending on configuration. This makes it well-suited for towing travel trailers, horse trailers, and work equipment throughout Kern County and beyond.

Does the GMC Sierra AT4 have Apple CarPlay?

Yes. The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features, integrated into the truck's infotainment system. Additional connectivity features include Bluetooth, available Wi-Fi hotspot, and GMC's connected services through the myGMC app.
