For example, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 now comes with more active safety equipment, such as a forward collision warning and intervention system, a blind-spot monitor with a rear cross-traffic alert, and a lane departure warning with lane-keep assist.

Although the Toyota Tundra is outfitted with those features too, some motorists visiting Serra Buick GMC Champaign tell us that the lane-keep assist on the Toyota truck isn’t as helpful as it is on the GMC Sierra 1500. They also bemoan the fact that the Toyota Tundra isn’t eligible for a trailering assistance package. Luckily, the new GMC Sierra 1500 can be equipped with a trailering assistance package that comes with 15 camera views.
