The Sierra 1500 lineup

Trims typically range from the Pro and SLE through Elevation, SLT and AT4 to the Denali and Denali Ultimate. Higher trims add leather, larger screens, driver-assistance features and premium styling.

Engines

Engine choices have included turbocharged four-cylinder, V8 and diesel options. Fuel economy, towing ability and price differ across them, so match the engine to how the truck will be used.

Towing and payload

Maximum towing depends on the engine, cab, bed, axle ratio and towing package. Check the rating for the exact configuration rather than the headline figure.

Cab and bed choices

Regular, double and crew cabs trade passenger room for bed length. Crew cabs are the most common choice for family use.

Shopping online

Many dealers list inventory online with prices and photos, and some let you start financing and trade-in paperwork before visiting. Compare offers from several dealers and ask about current incentives.

New versus used

A used or certified pre-owned Sierra can cost much less. Check the vehicle history report and get an inspection before buying.
