2025 GMC Sierra 1500

For the 2025 model year, GMC's Sierra 1500 is offered in eight trims: the Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. All feature refreshed styling with updated grilles and wheels, while improved LED lighting offers better visibility. The Pro trim focuses on functionality, while the SLE and Elevation turn heads with body-color bumpers and stylish wheels. Upgrade to the SLT to get the MultiPro tailgate with six functions for easier cargo handling. The AT4 and AT4X appeal to off-roaders with their skid plates and recovery hooks, while the Denali and Denali Ultimate cater to luxury buyers with chrome accents and signature grilles.

The Sierra doesn't skimp on power. The base 2.7-liter TurboMax™ I-4 pumps out 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque — impressive for a four-cylinder. It comes standard in the Pro, SLE, and Elevation models. The 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 gets 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Need maximum muscle? The 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8, available in the SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate, delivers 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. For towers, the 3.0-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel I-6 generates 305 horsepower and a mighty 495 pound-feet of torque. Available from the SLE to the Denali Ultimate, it's built for hauling heavy loads with ease.

When properly equipped, this truck can tow up to 13,300 pounds. Full-sized campers, boats, and loaded work trailers are no problem. The payload maxes out at an impressive 8,920 pounds. The AT4 and AT4X trims really prove their worth when pavement gives way to dirt and rocks. Both come with electronic locking differentials that maintain traction on loose terrain. The AT4X kicks things up another notch with Multimatic DSSV dampers that smooth out the ride on rocky trails. Off-road junkies will dig the AT4's specialized suspension setup with Rancho twin-tube shocks that let the wheels move independently over uneven ground. Tackling steep slopes? Hill descent control takes over braking duties so you can focus on steering. And those skid plates mounted underneath aren't just for show — they'll protect vital components when the trail throws its worst at your undercarriage.

The SLE and higher trims feature a 13.4-inch touchscreen, while the SLT and up add a 12.3-inch driver information center. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and phone charging come standard. Comfort levels soar in higher trims. The AT4, AT4X, and Denali feature heated and ventilated leather seats. The AT4X and Denali Ultimate also add 16-way power front seats with a massage function. The Denali gets a Bose sound system, while the Denali Ultimate includes full-grain leather and real wood accents. Crew cab models offer best-in-class front headroom and legroom.

Every Sierra 1500 comes loaded with smart safety tech. Standard features include forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keep assist with lane departure warning. Front pedestrian braking and auto-switching IntelliBeam lights add protection, while options such as Super Cruise for hands-free highway driving and adaptive cruise control make long trips easier. Trailer side blind zone alert helps when changing lanes with a trailer, while up to 14 camera views eliminate blind spots. SLE through Denali trims include standard trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring that warns of tire issues before they cause problems.
