What’s New for the 2024 Sierra 1500
This nameplate has long passed its twenty-year anniversary, but that doesn’t mean it’s an old dog that can’t learn new tricks. There are a few updates to the Sierra 1500’s powertrain in 2024, as well as more options for customization and a few tweaks here and there to the pickup’s build, so there are plenty of things to get excited about. Among them are eight standout trim levels, multiple engine options, and updates to technology and safety features that are sure to impress.
The biggest change for the Sierra 1500 this year is a new standard powertrain for one of the off-road Sierra 1500 trims, along with two wheel options and new colors for you to paint your exterior. As you can see, the Sierra 1500 is prime for customization, making it one of the most exciting pickups to look at this year. You’ll be able to customize at a deeper level than ever before, from the powertrain to the interior to the little details on the exterior that really bring out the Sierra 1500’s adventurous side. Trust us when we say you’ve never seen a Sierra 1500 like this before.
Powertrain Options
The major change of powertrain concerns one of the off-road trim levels—the AT4X—which now comes standard with the turbocharged inline-six Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine, providing this truck with 305 hp with which to haul, tow, go off-road, and more. There are four engine options available, including the newly-christened TurboMax engine, a turbocharged 2.7L inline-four engine that offers 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. The TurboMax is the standard engine for the Sierra 1500, but there are three more options available: the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and the aforementioned Duramax Turbo-Diesel.
All are excellent choices, but there is probably one that sticks out to you more than the others. Just note that some engines are available for most or all of the trim levels, while others are only available for specific trim levels. If you have questions regarding the one you’re interested in and which trim levels can be outfitted with it, you can always ask one of our associates. We’d be happy to help you figure out which trim and engine makes the perfect pair for you.
Trim Levels Available
There are a variety of trim levels to choose from, just like there are a variety of pickup drivers. Some drivers want a versatile truck able to go back and forth between work and play. Others may want something more heavy duty for work-related driving. Still, others may desire a truck with more luxurious features than a base trim level can offer.
The base trim level is the Pro, which still comes with plenty of comfort and convenience features, including Push Button Start, a 12-volt auxiliary front power outlet, three years of OnStar Remote Access, a six-speaker audio system, a brake pad wear indicator, and an HD Rear Vision Camera. Next up is the SLE trim, which features Remote Start, Keyless Open and Start, an inside rearview manual day/night mirror, Hitch Guidance, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats for the driver and front passenger.
The Elevation is the next evolution of the Sierra 1500, and it comes standard with the GMC MultiPro Tailgate, a rear window defogger, black vertical recovery hooks, a High-Capacity Suspension Package, 17-inch 255/80R17SL all-season spare tire, 20-inch 275/60R20 all-season blackwall tires, and 20-inch six-spoke high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels. One step higher is the SLT, and it boasts a 12-way power front passenger seat, LED fog lamps, Rainsense automatic windshield wipers, 18-inch all-season blackwall tires, and 18-inch six-spoke aluminum wheels with Dark Grey Metallic accents.
Next is the AT4, one of the two off-road trim levels available for the Sierra 1500. The AT4 comes equipped enough to immediately go into the rough, swapping out all-season tires for mud-terrain Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires, two-inch off-road suspension with Rancho shocks, skid plates, and a seven-speaker Bose Premium Sound System with a Richbass subwoofer. The other off-road trim level is the AT4X, which—in addition to the previous features—also includes a driver-selectable full-locking front and rear differential and an AEV stamped-steel, high-approach angle front bumper.
The Denali and Denali Ultimate are the luxurious trim levels available for the Sierra 1500, and as such, they come loaded with plenty of comfort and convenience features. With the Denali, you can expect to find an integrated trailer brake controller, Denali premium suspension, adaptive cruise control, a power sliding rear window, Forge perforated leather seat trim, and ventilated front seats. On the Denali Ultimate, you’ll find those as well as a power sunroof, dual-active exhaust with sport mode, 22-inch seven-spoke ultra-bright wheels with bright chrome accents and dark paint, and a MultiPro Audio System by Kicker.
