2023 GMC Sierra 1500

For 2023, this pickup truck comes in eight trims: Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, Denali, AT4X, and Denali Ultimate. If you stick with the entry-level Pro trim, you can enjoy heated exterior side mirrors, chrome bumpers, LED headlights, and 17-inch steel wheels. The SLE trim level kicks things up with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED bed lighting, a trailer hitch receiver, and a MultiPro configuration tailgate with power lock and release. Upgrading to the Elevation trim gets you 20-inch wheels and LED fog lights, and the SLT offers heated and power-folding exterior side mirrors, chrome exterior trim, and 18-inch wheels. The AT4 trim level adds more off-roading enhancements like all-terrain tires, skid plates, recovery hooks, and an upgraded suspension with monotube shock absorbers and a 2-inch lift. The AT4X trim is even more serious about off-roading and adds off-road-specific adaptive dampers, a power-sliding rear window, electronic front and rear locking differentials, and a sunroof. The Denali trim is more focused on luxury and comes with a spray-in bedliner, 20-inch wheels, and side steps, while the Denali Ultimate finishes things off with 22-inch wheels, a sunroof, power-deploying side steps, and a carbon-fiber composite bed.

Four engine options are available with the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. The entry-level selection is a 2.7-liter turbocharged I-4 engine that can produce 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Up next is the 5.3-liter V-8 engine that generates 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. You may be interested in the 6.2-liter V-8 engine if you want 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque or the 3-liter I-6 turbocharged diesel engine if you're looking for a diesel-powered option that produces 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.

If you're eyeing the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, you might be looking for a light-duty pickup truck that can tow heavy loads. If this is the case, you will be pleased to know the vehicle can tow as much as 13,000 pounds when you pick the diesel engine and four-wheel drive. However, rear-wheel drive is the standard setup.

A single-row regular cab, two-row double cab, and more spacious two-row crew cab are the available cabin configurations for the 2023 Sierra 1500. A 13.4-inch touch-screen is standard with the Sierra. This screen can work alongside Google Maps, Google Assistant, the Google Store, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto for incredible connectivity and convenience.

A vehicle as bold and powerful as the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 also needs to be safe. This light-duty pickup truck comes standard with front collision mitigation, which uses sensors, an alert system, and brakes to reduce the risk of a head-on crash. Lane-keeping assistance is also standard and helps drivers stay on their path.
