2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Model Review - McKinney, TX

What's New for the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500?

Two new exterior colors have arrived: Glacier White Tricoat and Coastal Dune. Trims equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 also feature a recalibrated exhaust system, which produces a beefier sound when Sport mode is activated.

What Are the 2026 Sierra 1500 Trims & Features?

This full-size pickup truck is offered in multiple trims. The Sierra 1500 Pro is an outstanding entry-level trim option. It comes standard with many desirable features, including a 7.0-inch touchscreen and an HD Rear Vision camera.

Not only does the SLE trim pack more style, but it also receives some upgraded amenities. Highlights include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built-in.

For drivers who desire an especially sporty look, GMC offers the Sierra 1500 Elevation. A black-accented exterior and 20-inch black aluminum wheels help it to stand out.

Featuring perforated leather front seat upholstery and a six-function MultiPro tailgate, the SLT is even more premium. If you want to experience enhanced luxury, consider the upscale Denali trim. While Adaptive Ride Control elevates comfort, ventilated front seats help you to further unwind on hot days. A powerful Bose audio system keeps you entertained along the way.

Folks who crave outdoor fun will love the adventure-ready AT4 trim. Rugged features, such as a lifted suspension with Rancho off-road shocks and skid plates, prepare you to hit the trails. An even more capable AT4X trim is available as well.

The stunning Denali Ultimate trim tops the range. It boasts massaging front seats and hands-free highway driving technology.
