2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Oxnard, CA

The 2026 Sierra 1500 is available in a range of trims—Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate—each offering a distinct exterior identity. The Pro trim sets the foundation with a no-nonsense aesthetic, black bumpers, and 17-inch steel wheels, tailored for functional durability. SLE steps up with chrome grille detailing and 18-inch aluminum wheels, while the Elevation trim adds monochromatic body treatment, dark accents, and 20-inch black wheels for a more aggressive, urban-ready profile. SLT embraces chrome refinement with polished accents and signature C-shaped LED lighting. The AT4 is purpose-built for off-road intensity, defined by red recovery hooks, skid plates, and 18-inch gloss-black wheels wrapped in Goodyear® Wrangler DuraTrac® tires. The AT4X elevates this formula with a more muscular bumper design, rock sliders, and 18-inch wheels paired with Multimatic DSSV dampers. Denali trims shift toward elegance, with a Vader chrome grille, 20-inch ultra-bright wheels, and a satin chrome finish enveloping its bold, wide-spanning fascia.

The 2026 Sierra 1500 offers four powerful engine choices, each engineered to suit different load demands and driving styles. The 2.7L TurboMax inline-four generates 310 horsepower and a robust 430 lb-ft of torque, emphasizing torque curve efficiency and responsiveness under throttle. The available 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, using dynamic fuel management to optimize fuel efficiency during varied loads. Stepping up, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 offers 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, refined with direct injection and variable valve timing to command high-speed merges and heavy trailering alike. The available 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel, a straight-six masterpiece, puts out 305 horsepower and a massive 495 lb-ft of torque—ideal for long-haul towing with quieter operation and low-end pull. Each engine mates to a 10-speed automatic transmission, tuned for seamless torque transitions and consistently confident performance across all terrains.

Purpose-driven architecture defines the Sierra’s versatility. With max trailering capacities reaching 13,300 lbs depending on configuration, this truck hauls with authority. The available Max Trailering Package enhances rear axle ratios, cooling capacity, and suspension stiffness for peak towing control. The Sierra's multi-mode traction management system allows seamless adaptation to changing surfaces—be it sand, snow, or steep grades. AT4 and AT4X models raise the off-road threshold further with a factory lift, two-speed transfer case, and terrain mode calibrated for low-speed rock crawling. The segment-exclusive CarbonPro composite bed resists denting and corrosion, while the six-position MultiPro tailgate delivers unrivaled utility flexibility. Magnetic Ride Control, available on Denali trims, reads the road in real time, adjusting damping rates to maintain composure under load or during cornering.

Inside the cabin, the Sierra transitions from rugged utility to refined sanctuary. Materials vary by trim—hard-wearing vinyl on Pro, premium cloth on SLE and Elevation, leather-appointed seating on SLT and Denali, and full-grain leather with open-pore wood and aluminum on Denali Ultimate. A 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen anchors the center stack, integrated with Google built-in functionality, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and available 15-inch multicolor head-up display surround the driver with configurable, real-time data. Super Cruise hands-free driving technology is available on Denali Ultimate, enabling automated lane changes on mapped highways. The cabin remains hushed thanks to acoustic glass and enhanced door seals. Rear seat passengers enjoy ample legroom, HVAC vents, USB ports, and available heated seating, while rear under-seat storage and fold-flat bench seating offer functional adaptability.

The 2026 Sierra 1500 offers a full suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies under the GMC Pro Safety banner. Standard features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Front Pedestrian Braking. Adaptive Cruise Control, available on select trims, maintains distance in stop-and-go traffic, while the available HD Surround Vision system grants 360-degree situational awareness—especially useful during trailering or tight urban maneuvers. Trailer-specific safety technologies include Trailer Sway Control, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and up to 14 available camera views with Transparent Trailer Mode.
