2022 GMC SIERRA 1500 LIMITED CREW CAB

If you're searching for a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited Crew Cab SLT for sale in Santa Ana, CA, this white pickup at Sunset Car Co is worth a serious look. With a powerful 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 under the hood, a spacious crew cab, and a proven SLT trim level loaded with premium features, this truck delivers the performance and comfort Southern California drivers demand — at a real-world price point.

About This 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited Crew Cab SLT

This 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited Crew Cab SLT (Stock #17975500) comes in a clean white exterior and has accumulated 125,957 miles — well within the range where a properly maintained Sierra 1500 continues to perform reliably. The Sierra 1500 Limited is essentially the final-year variant of the K2-generation truck before full redesigns, meaning it benefits from years of refinement and proven engineering. For buyers in Orange County who need a capable full-size truck without paying new-truck prices, this is a smart entry point.

The 5 3/4-foot short bed on a Crew Cab configuration strikes the right balance for daily driving and weekend hauling. You get genuine back-seat room for passengers and still have enough bed length for lumber runs, tailgating setups, and gear transport throughout the greater Orange County area.

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits GMC's legendary EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive — one of the most well-regarded powertrains in the full-size truck segment. This engine produces approximately 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque in standard configuration, giving you confident acceleration whether you're merging onto the 5 Freeway or hauling a trailer down to San Clemente.
 

Dynamic Fuel Management Technology

The DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management) system is a standout feature on this engine. Unlike older cylinder deactivation systems that simply dropped to four cylinders, DFM can operate in up to 17 different cylinder patterns — intelligently balancing power delivery and fuel economy depending on load and driving conditions. For daily commuters in Santa Ana and Orange County, this translates to meaningfully better fuel economy compared to older V8 trucks without sacrificing towing or payload capability.

This truck is configured as a 2WD, which is ideal for Southern California's climate. You're not paying the weight or fuel penalty of a 4WD system you'd rarely use, and the rear-wheel-drive layout keeps things mechanically simpler for long-term ownership.

GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Features and Interior

The SLT trim sits just below the top-tier Denali, meaning it comes well-equipped from the factory. Buyers should expect features like:
 

Technology and Comfort

The Sierra SLT typically includes GMC's 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen infotainment system with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with available built-in navigation. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and leather-appointed seating surfaces are standard SLT fare, making even long drives through Orange County traffic genuinely comfortable. Rear passengers in the Crew Cab enjoy generous legroom — a real advantage if you're regularly hauling family or crew members.
 

Exterior and Utility Features

The SLT trim typically adds chrome exterior accents, power-adjustable and heated side mirrors, a spray-in or EZ-Lift tailgate, and available trailering features including a trailering package with integrated trailer brake controller. The MultiPro tailgate — GMC's signature innovation — may be equipped depending on build configuration, transforming a standard tailgate into a six-function workstation.

GMC Sierra 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8 in the Sierra 1500 has a strong reliability track record across multiple model years. Owners consistently praise its durability at high mileage, with many examples surpassing 200,000 miles with regular maintenance. The 8-speed automatic transmission is equally robust when serviced on schedule — fluid changes every 45,000 miles are recommended for longevity.

At 125,957 miles, this truck is in the middle of its usable life by full-size pickup standards. A pre-purchase inspection and review of maintenance history is always advisable, but mechanically, a well-cared-for Sierra 1500 at this mileage is far from done. Common areas to monitor include the transmission fluid condition, brake wear, and the exhaust manifold bolts — a known but straightforward maintenance item on the LS/LT-based V8 family. Overall, owners report high satisfaction with the Sierra 1500 Limited's day-to-day reliability and low unscheduled repair frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited a good buy?

Yes — the 2022 Sierra 1500 Limited is widely considered a strong value in the used truck market. It carries all the refinements developed over years of the K2-generation platform, with a proven powertrain, well-appointed interior, and strong resale history. For buyers who want a capable full-size truck with premium features at a used-truck price, it's a compelling choice.
 

Is 125,000 miles too many for a GMC Sierra 1500?

Not necessarily. The EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8 is known for durability well beyond 150,000 and even 200,000 miles when properly maintained. At 125,957 miles, this truck has plenty of life remaining. Review the service history, have a mechanic inspect it, and pay attention to fluid conditions — those factors matter far more than mileage alone on a truck like this.
 

What does the Sierra 1500 SLT trim include?

The SLT trim is GMC's upper-mid-grade offering, typically including leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, power-adjustable heated mirrors, chrome exterior accents, and a trailering package. It sits above the SLE and below the Denali in the Sierra lineup.
 

What is Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) on the 5.3 V8?

DFM is GMC's advanced cylinder deactivation system that can operate the 5.3-liter V8 in up to 17 different cylinder patterns depending on driving conditions. It seamlessly transitions between full V8 power when needed and a more fuel-efficient partial-cylinder mode during light loads — helping real-world fuel economy without any noticeable impact on driving feel.
 

Is 2WD okay for a truck in Southern California?

For most uses in Orange County and the greater Los Angeles area, 2WD is perfectly appropriate. Southern California roads rarely require 4WD, and a 2WD truck saves weight, improves fuel economy, and reduces long-term mechanical complexity. If you occasionally need off-road capability, a 2WD truck with good all-season tires handles most light trail and beach parking situations without issue.
