Power and Capability That Backs Up the Hype
The Sierra 1500 offers four distinct powertrains, each suited to different priorities. The TurboMax engine delivers 350 horsepower and best-in-class standard 455 pound-feet of torque, making it a strong everyday option. Step up to the all-new 5.7-liter V8 and you get 402 horsepower with a max towing capability of up to 13,500 pounds.
For drivers who want maximum output, the 6.6-liter V8 - the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in its class - produces 481 horsepower and 501 pound-feet of torque. Efficiency-focused buyers can opt for the Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel, which pairs 305 horsepower with 495 pound-feet of torque and a highway driving range of over 900 miles on a full tank when equipped with the available 34-gallon fuel tank.
Which Trim Fits Your Lifestyle?
The Sierra 1500 lineup spans six trims, each with a distinct purpose. The PRO serves as the workhorse entry point, pairing the TurboMax engine with a 16.3-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System and a standard Trailering Package. The Elevation adds heated front and passenger seats, a heated steering wheel, dual wireless charging, and the MultiPro Center Console.
Off-road buyers will want to look closely at the AT4 and AT4X. The AT4 comes standard with a 5.7-liter V8, a 2-inch factory-installed lift, 34-inch All Terrain tires, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology. The AT4X goes further with segment-exclusive Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear e-locking differentials, new 35-inch MT tires, and the AT4X-exclusive Baja Drive Mode.
On the luxury end, the Denali brings a panoramic sunroof, 12-way power heated and ventilated front seats, and a 15-inch diagonal multicolor Head-Up Display. The Denali Ultimate tops the lineup with the 6.6-liter V8, 14-way power seats with a massage feature, and a 16-speaker Bose Premium Series audio system with front row head-restraint speakers.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
Inside the Sierra 1500, available digital displays total over 60 inches diagonally - a class-leading figure. That includes the 16.3-inch infotainment screen, a 12.2-inch Driver Information Center, and up to a 15-inch Head-Up Display depending on trim.
Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is available on the Elevation Crew Cab and standard on the AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. It handles steering, acceleration, and braking on compatible roads - even while trailering. The available Driving Visualizer shows a real-time view of the road, including lane markings and detected vehicles and pedestrians. Up to 19 camera views, including front and rear underbody cameras, make maneuvering in tight spots or on the trail noticeably easier.
Configurations and Payload
One area where the Sierra 1500 shines is flexibility. The truck is available in Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab configurations, with short, standard, and long bed options depending on trim. Max payload ranges from 1,950 pounds in a standard bed Crew Cab 4WD configuration up to 2,320 pounds in a Regular Cab rear-wheel-drive setup.
Cargo bed volume ranges from 62.9 cubic feet in a short bed Crew Cab up to 89.1 cubic feet in a long bed Regular Cab - a meaningful difference depending on what you're hauling.
