COMPARISON TABLE At a Glance 2027 Sierra 1500 Powertrain Lineup GMC is keeping a powertrain for every job, but the heart of the lineup is brand new. Here's how the available 2027 engines line up.

DESIGN + TECH Inside & Out A Bolder Exterior and a Completely Redesigned Cabin The 2027 Sierra 1500 gets a sharper, more vertical front end with evolved signature lighting, GMC signature WOM lights, available welcome and farewell animations, and available quad exhaust outlets. It reads more confident and more premium without losing the truck's working-tool credibility. Inside is where it really moves upmarket. Every trim gets a redesigned interior with new colorways and premium materials, including available real wood trim accents and an available panoramic sunroof. GMC is also claiming best-in-class standard crew cab front head and leg room — which matters a lot when you're three coffees into a drive from Arundel up to Portland or down to Boston. The available all-new MultiPro center console opens into an extended work surface, so the truck works as well as a rolling office as it does on a job site. Denali Ultimate The Flagship: Tech, Comfort & V8 Power The Denali Ultimate sits at the very top of the lineup, and it's loaded. It comes standard with the 6.6L V8 and more than 60 inches of combined digital displays — the most in its class. 16.3-inch infotainment screen (largest in class) with articulation and hidden storage 11.5-inch front passenger screen with articulating cover 12.2-inch Driver Information Center + 15-inch color Head-Up Display 8.5-inch Rear Camera Mirror for a clear view with the bed loaded 16-speaker Bose Premium audio with head-restraint speakers Standard 3-year Super Cruise hands-free driving — including while towing That Super Cruise detail is a big one for Maine drivers: hands-free assistance on 600,000+ miles of compatible roads, and it works while you're towing — ideal for the long I-95 pulls with a camper or a boat behind you. It's a capability no competitor in the class offers. AT4X FEATURE BAND Off-Road AT4X: The Most Capable Sierra AT4X Ever For the buyers who actually use camp roads, trailheads, and unplowed back acreage, the 2027 AT4X gets serious new hardware — not just badges. 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires → a Sierra first, built for traction and durability in rough conditions Multimatic Jounce Control Dampers → composure over washboard, ruts, and high-speed impacts Front & rear e-locking differentials → a class-exclusive combination for maximum traction 2-inch factory suspension lift → exclusive hood and front fascia for a more purposeful stance Timber Mahogany interior + standard panoramic sunroof → rugged but refined enough for the drive home Want even more? GMC will continue to offer the AEV Edition package on the 2027 Sierra 1500. The rest of the lineup — Pro, Elevation, AT4, and Denali — carries over too, each tuned for a different kind of buyer.
