The redesigned 2027 GMC Sierra 1500 starts at $51,295 for the Pro and runs to $87,895 for the Denali Ultimate, both as 4WD crew cabs with the $2,795 destination charge included. Every trim now has a V8 either as standard or as an option, GMC's two new sixth-generation Small Block V8s replace the 5.3L and 6.2L, and the first trucks are due at dealers before the end of 2026.
2027 GMC Sierra 1500 trims and prices
GMC has cut the lineup to six trims. The SLE and SLT are gone, so the Elevation now sits right above the work-oriented Pro. The prices below are for the 4WD Crew Cab. GMC says it will publish prices for the regular cab, double cab and other bed configurations later, so expect the true entry price to come down.
| Trim | Starting price (4WD Crew Cab) | Standard engine | Optional engines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $51,295 | 2.7L TurboMax | 5.7L V8, 3.0L Duramax |
| Elevation | $59,995 | 2.7L TurboMax | 5.7L V8, 3.0L Duramax |
| AT4 | $73,495 | 5.7L V8 | 3.0L Duramax |
| Denali | $76,795 | 5.7L V8 | 6.6L V8, 3.0L Duramax |
| AT4X | $85,495 | 3.0L Duramax | 6.6L V8 |
| Denali Ultimate | $87,895 | 6.6L V8 | 3.0L Duramax |
Prices include the $2,795 destination charge.
Engines: horsepower and torque
All four engines come with a 10-speed automatic.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
|---|---|---|
| 2.7L TurboMax I-4 | 350 hp | 455 lb-ft |
| 5.7L V8 | 402 hp | 428 lb-ft |
| 6.6L V8 | 481 hp | 501 lb-ft |
| 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel I-6 | 305 hp | 495 lb-ft |
The TurboMax is 40 hp and 25 lb-ft stronger than before, thanks to new turbochargers, upgraded fuel injection and redesigned pistons. The two V8s are shared with the Chevrolet Silverado; we cover how they were built and how they compare with the old 5.3L and 6.2L in our 2027 Silverado V8 engines story.
2027 Sierra 1500 towing and payload
The highest towing rating is 13,500 lb, for a 4WD Double Cab with the 5.7L V8 and the Max Trailering Package. As on the Silverado, the bigger 6.6L V8 is not the engine to pick for towing.
| Engine | Max towing | Max payload |
|---|---|---|
| 2.7L TurboMax | 9,400 lb | 2,310 lb |
| 5.7L V8 | 13,500 lb | 2,140 lb |
| 3.0L Duramax | 12,100 lb | 1,850 lb |
| 6.6L V8 | 9,400 lb | 1,450 lb |
Each figure is the best case for that engine across cab styles and drivetrains. In a 4WD Crew Cab the 5.7L tows up to 13,300 lb, and the Duramax, offered only in the Crew Cab, is rated at 12,100 lb in 4WD form.
2027 Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate
The 2027 Sierra Denali comes with the 5.7L V8 as standard and is the cheaper way into the 481-hp 6.6L. The Denali Ultimate gets the 6.6L as standard, which GMC calls the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the segment.
Inside, the Denali Ultimate has more than 60 inches of screens in total: a 16.3-inch center touchscreen that tilts and hides a storage space behind it, an 11.5-inch screen for the front passenger, a 12.2-inch driver display, a 15-inch color head-up display and an 8.5-inch camera mirror. It also gets a 16-speaker Bose system with speakers in the front headrests, forged-wood trim and three years of Super Cruise. Super Cruise now works hands-free while towing. It is standard on the AT4, AT4X, Denali and Denali Ultimate and optional on the Elevation.
2027 Sierra AT4X
The 2027 Sierra AT4X is the off-road flagship. It comes standard with the Duramax diesel, and the 6.6L V8 is optional. GMC fits it with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, a first for the Sierra, plus Multimatic jounce-control dampers, electronic locking differentials front and rear, and a 2-inch suspension lift. It also gets its own hood and front fascia. The AEV Edition package carries over with AEV bumpers, extra skid plates and 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels.
The cabin is finished in an AT4X-only Timber Mahogany color, with more heavily bolstered front seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel and a standard panoramic sunroof.
Release date
GMC says the first 2027 Sierra 1500s will reach dealers before the end of 2026, starting with crew cabs. Regular cab and double cab trucks follow as production ramps up. GMC has not yet published fuel economy ratings.
