GMC Sierra 1500 Trim Levels guide

GMC Sierra 1500 Trim Levels Explained

The GMC Sierra 1500 is a light-duty pick-up truck with several trim levels, featuring the luxurious Denali. Manufactured by General Motors, the GMC Sierra 1500 is mechanically identical to the Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

However, some may consider it slightly more upscale. The GMC Sierra was one of the first trucks that was not based on a car design and has evolved since its inception in the 1960s. The current generation of GMC Sierra 1500 pick-up trucks was revealed for the 2014 model year with a choice of three engines.

The GMC Sierra 1500 has an interior that is incredibly roomy, quiet with distinctive styling. But it’s not all just for looks, this truck can get the job done with very capable towing and cargo volume. Rearview camera became standard in 2018. Apple Carplay/Android Auto were also added in 2016.
