2024 GMC Sierra 1500: Choosing the Right Trim

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is an excellent full-size pickup truck. Whether you’re interested in a high-tech luxury pickup, a rugged off-roader, or a combination, there’s a Sierra for you.

The GMC Sierra 1500 is mechanically similar to the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Its top rivals are the Ram 1500, Ford F-150, and Toyota Tundra. A few details that set the Sierra apart from the crowd are the luxurious Denali models, the MultiPro tailgate, and the available Super Cruise hands-free driving system.

What’s New:

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 now comes standard with OnStar and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay on every trim, including the base Pro model. Also, the Duramax diesel is now the standard engine in the rugged AT4X model. Additionally, the Sierra gets a few new paint and wheel options this year.

Our Recommendation:

We know it’s not cheap, but we’re partial to the GMC Sierra Denali. It’s a genuine luxury pickup truck with features like a 13.4-inch touchscreen, perforated leather seating, open-pore wood trim, and continuous damping Adaptive Ride Control. Spring for the Super Cruise hands-free driving system if your budget allows it.

The standard engine is a 2.7-liter turbo 4-cylinder with 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and 4-wheel drive is optional.

An available Convenience Package ($995 for Regular Cab, $1,070 for Double and Crew Cab) adds an EZ Lift tailgate, tinted glass, LED cargo bed lighting, a rear window defogger, and cruise control.

2024 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE: $49,100

An SLT Preferred Package ($1,050) further adds adaptive cruise control, a rear sliding power window, a universal garage door opener, and heated rear seats.
