Key Features of the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500

TurboMax™ Engine With Best-in-Class Standard Torque

Standard on many trims, the TurboMax™ engine blends power and durability for everyday confidence. With 310 horsepower and best-in-class standard engine torque of 430 lb.-ft., it provides strong low-end response for towing, hauling, and merging. Pair that output with an available max towing of up to 9,400 lbs. and you get a compelling balance of performance and efficiency-minded engineering. GMC backs the TurboMax™ with a 5 years/100,000 miles Powertrain Limited Warranty for added peace of mind. Whether you’re pulling a trailer to the jobsite or taking the boat out for the weekend, the TurboMax™ delivers punchy performance that makes light work of heavy tasks.

Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel Towing Up To 13,300 lbs

For serious towing and long-distance capability, the available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel with a 10-speed automatic transmission is a standout. When properly equipped, it’s engineered for an available max towing capacity of up to 13,300 lbs., supported by smart hardware like the available Max Trailering Package with enhanced cooling radiators, revised shock tuning, and heavier-duty rear springs. Integrated trailering aids such as the available Trailer Brake Controller and Stabilitrak® work with Sierra’s chassis to help deliver poise and control. Add the available In-Vehicle Trailering App for custom trailer profiles, pre-departure checklists, and status monitoring, and you get a comprehensive towing solution that inspires confidence mile after mile.

13.4" Diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System With Google Built-in Compatibility

The available 13.4-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System is the tech centerpiece of the cabin, offering a vivid, multitouch interface with Google built-in compatibility, voice-activated features, and wireless phone projection for your compatible smartphone. Complementing it is an available 12.3-inch multicolor Driver Information Center that you can configure to your preference, plus an available 15-inch multicolor Head-Up Display that projects key data on the windshield to help keep your focus on the road. Elevation and SLT offer an available Bose Premium audio system, while Denali Ultimate elevates the experience with a 12-Speaker Bose Premium Series with Centerpoint surround sound. Thoughtful touches like a heated steering wheel and heated front seats are widely available, making Sierra’s tech not only powerful, but also easy to live with every day.

Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology

Available on Sierra 1500, Super Cruise® is a hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads that brings next-level convenience to long highway drives. Using a combination of cameras, sensors, and precise map data, Super Cruise® can help you maintain speed and lane position, and on properly equipped models may assist with automatic lane changes when conditions allow. Steering-wheel-mounted controls and clear, intuitive driver alerts help keep you informed. It’s an advanced system that complements standard and available driver assistance features and underscores Sierra 1500’s leadership in real-world technology that elevates every drive.

MultiPro™ Tailgate And Available CarbonPro® Composite Bed

GMC’s world’s first available six-function MultiPro™ Tailgate is a hallmark of Sierra 1500 versatility, engineered to streamline loading, unloading, and workstation tasks. From a primary gate to a full-width step and load-stop configurations, MultiPro™ adapts to your day. For even more durability, the available CarbonPro® composite bed provides impressive dent, scratch, and corrosion resistance while offering best-in-class short bed cargo volume on select models. Pair these with available bed lighting, a spray-on bedliner, and the available MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by KICKER, and Sierra’s cargo box becomes as functional as it is tough—ideal for jobsite demands, tailgating, or overland adventures.
