2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate

2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate

Estimated Price: $86,190* (Crew Cab short bed 4WD)

Fuel Type
Variant

The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup that leans more premium than its Silverado sibling, spanning eight trim levels — Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate — with the same proven four-engine lineup: the 2.7L TurboMax I4 (310 hp, 430 lb-ft), 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 (355 hp), 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 (420 hp), and 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel (305 hp, 495 lb-ft) delivering up to 13,300 lbs of towing capacity. Every Sierra comes standard with forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while the SLE and above upgrade to a 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In and a 12.3-inch digital driver information center. The exclusive GMC MultiPro Tailgate is available across the lineup, the off-road AT4 adds a factory 2-inch lift and Rancho shocks while the AT4X steps up with Multimatic dampers and front and rear electronic locking differentials, and the flagship Denali Ultimate tops everything with massaging front seats, a 15-inch head-up display, Bose premium audio, and available Super Cruise hands-free highway driving technology.
