What's New for the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500?

It is now available in two new colors: Glacier White Tricoat and Coastal Dune. Trims fitted with the 6.2-liter V8 receive a revised exhaust calibration that produces a bolder sound when Sport mode is used.

What Are the 2026 Sierra 1500 Trims & Features?

The Sierra 1500 is offered across several trims. The Sierra 1500 Pro is a standout value at the entry level, coming standard with sought-after features such as a 7.0-inch touchscreen and an HD Rear Vision camera.

The SLE adds both style and upgraded amenities. Highlights are dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built in.

If you want a more athletic appearance, the Sierra 1500 Elevation features black exterior accents and 20-inch black aluminum wheels for a bold look.

The SLT increases the premium feel with perforated leather front seating and a six-function MultiPro tailgate. For maximum luxury, choose the Denali trim - it offers Adaptive Ride Control for improved comfort, ventilated front seats to beat the heat, and an impressive Bose sound system.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find the AT4 appealing. It is equipped for adventure with a lifted suspension, Rancho off-road shocks, and skid plates. There's also an even more capable AT4X variant.

Sitting atop the lineup is the Denali Ultimate, which includes massaging front seats and hands-free highway driving tech.
