While there’s certainly no shortage of brands that deliver the goods to those who seek them, GMC is in a class all by itself when it comes to new trucks.
As part of the GM family, the GMC brand seamlessly blends the hard-working capability of Chevrolet with the refined sophistication that is commonly associated with Cadillac. For the 2024 model year, there has been an enormous amount of anticipation in the air as shoppers waited to see what the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 will bring to the truck-buying public. Priced affordably and able to be customized to suit any individual taste, the GMC Sierra 1500 once again sets the standard that a modern pickup truck needs to meet. No matter what you might be looking for in a pickup, there’s no doubt that the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 can provide you with everything you need. Today, we’ll be taking a look behind the wheel and underneath the hood of the latest offering from one of America’s most respected brands.
Starting at
When it comes to a brand like GMC, its customers have high expectations when it comes to performance. They expect the brand to deliver when the going gets tough and offer them variety in terms of effective and capable powertrains. For the 2024 model year, the GMC Sierra 1500 offers four different engines that provide unique advantages to give drivers the performance they need to accomplish any task they have their eyes set on. The base engine, a turbocharged 2.7L four-cylinder, delivers on the old expression that big things come in small packages. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this four-cylinder propels the Sierra 1500 forward with 310 hp and generates an impressive 430 lb-ft of torque.
Similar to its sibling, the Chevy Silverado 1500, the 2024 Sierra 1500 also comes with two V8 powertrains, both of which have no difficulty in making the earth shake. A 5.3L V8 and 6.2L V8 are both geared towards moving mountains, with the 5.3L possessing 355 hp and the 6.2L pushing out 420 hp with minimal effort. The 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel also makes a return to the fold for 2024 and is now the standard offering for the AT4X off-road trim. With 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque to its credit, the diesel-fueled powertrain continues to prove its vitality in 2024. The Duramax and both V8 engines are equipped with a ten-speed automatic transmission for optimum performance and a smooth ride, regardless of where your travels might take you.
The potency of the Sierra 1500’s powertrains aside, GMC has made impressive strides in improving the vehicle's ability to carry out the most difficult tasks and wildly enjoyable activities. For those who embrace off-roading as a lifestyle, the AT4X trim is designed for adventures off of the beaten path. An elevated ground clearance that measures over eleven inches and 33-inch mud-terrain tires will make short work of any obstacles you encounter on your excursions. For drivers who use their trucks for towing or who often haul oversized payloads, you’ll be pleased to know that the 2024 Sierra 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,000 lbs and can transport 2,300 lbs of cargo without any issues. Hard work and play have never been easier.
While the powertrains and performance attributes of the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 are certainly in line with the hard-driving work ethic of Chevy, the interior is more reminiscent of Cadillac. That is to say, you'll have the best of both worlds when it comes to the creature comforts that so many drivers desire and the refined sophistication that’s usually associated with luxury sedans. The level of luxury that you can have placed at your fingertips depends upon what trim you decide to opt for. That said, even the introductory trim, known as the Pro, offers quite a bit for the price you pay.
The Pro trim has all of the trappings that you need for a comfortable driving experience. Anchored by a seven-inch infotainment screen supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you’ll also have Bluetooth streaming capabilities and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The two-toned color scheme that the Sierra 1500 offers is certainly reminiscent of some of the high-end European luxury sedans from recent years. Offering practicality and comfort, there’s no better combination for drivers who want it all at an affordable price. For those who want it all, the opportunity is certainly there.
The GMC Denali trim has long been coveted among discerning drivers for its leather upholstery, jet-black color scheme, and unwavering dedication to the highest levels of sophistication. With wood-grain interior accents and an infotainment screen that stretches out a full 13.4 inches, the advantages of luxury will be yours for the taking. If your definition of luxury consists of entertainment, then you’ll want to take advantage of a 12-speaker stereo system from the audio experts at Bose. Access to SiriusXM and OnStar connected services means you’ll have technology and luxury to spare.
In this examination of the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, we can see the best that the brand offers. From a variety of powertrains that can handle any task to a host of features that are meant to provide the sophistication that so many of us strive for, it’s quite literally the jack-of-all-trades. But when it comes to a detailed examination of a vehicle, it is always important to consider the available safety and driver-assist features. There’s nothing more important than the knowledge that we’re safe behind the wheel. This is something that we can’t put a price tag on. Fortunately, while the Sierra 1500 has quite a penchant for performance and luxury, GMC is just as dedicated to the well-being of its drivers as well as those who we share the road with.
To enhance the driving experience, there are a multitude of available features that speak to the level of innovation that GMC has possessed since its formative years. A multi-camera system can be added to enhance the towing experience and allow more oversight than ever before. For shoppers who opt for the Denali trim of the 2024 Sierra 1500, not only will they have the benefit of Adaptive Cruise Control but also the chance to upgrade to GMC’s Super Cruise technology. This hands-free driving feature functions on hundreds of thousands of miles of roads all over North America and makes each road trip that much easier.
Aside from the desirable add-ons that can be had, the 2024 Sierra 1500 comes with a vast array of standard driver-assist features across all trim levels. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking are in place to help prevent collisions, while Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning is also included to provide additional oversight during your travels. An HD rear vision camera is also standard and is an excellent way to keep an eye out when backing out of a parking lot or garage or hitching up a trailer. By offering more standard features, GMC reminds us of the dedication to safety that all manufacturers should provide to their customers.
The lineage of GMC can be traced back over a century. In that time, no other brand has gone to the lengths that it has to provide customers with the amenities and capabilities that GMC has always been known for. The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is another accomplishment in a long line of exceptionally high-quality vehicles. The combination of performance, luxury, and more standard safety features than some of its biggest competitors is the trifecta that so many of us have been looking for in the vehicles we purchase.
