The truck adopts a more upright exterior with machine-precision forms, a more vertical grille and an evolution of GMC's signature lighting, including 7-shaped headlamps and taillamps with available welcome and farewell animations, available illuminated GMC signature lighting and available quad exhaust outlets. The available MultiPro Tailgate gains a new design applique, four additional tie-downs and an integrated ruler system, while the cargo bed offers the most-in-class 16 standard tie-down locations and best-in-class cargo volume. Every trim gets a redesigned cabin with exclusive colorways and premium seating, plus available touches such as real wood trim, forged wood on Denali Ultimate and carbon fiber on AT4X, dynamic ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof and an all-new MultiPro center console that combines extra storage with an extended work surface; Sierra also claims best-in-class standard Crew Cab front head and leg room.

- New 5.7L sixth-generation Small Block V8: 402 horsepower and 428 lb.-ft. of torque, with up to 13,500 pounds of maximum available trailering capability when properly equipped.
- New 6.6L sixth-generation Small Block V8: 481 horsepower and 501 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in its class, the largest-displacement V8 in its class and GMC's most powerful half-ton V8 ever.
- Class-exclusive Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel: 305 horsepower and 495 lb.-ft. of torque; with the available 34-gallon fuel tank it offers more than 900 miles of GM-estimated highway range.
- The new V8s use higher compression ratios, larger throttle bodies, tuned intake manifolds and a dual-fuel injection system combining direct and port injection, and a new 34-gallon fuel tank is available with the V8 engines and the Duramax diesel.
481horsepower
The new 6.6L sixth-generation Small Block V8 also makes 501 lb.-ft. of torque; GMC calls it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in its class.
“With the all-new next-generation Sierra 1500, GMC isn't simply raising the bar - we're redefining it. From a new generation of Small Block V8 power and precise off-road capability to our most immersive cabin ever, Sierra delivers the Professional Grade confidence, craftsmanship and technology our customers demand.”
The 2027 Sierra 1500 introduces GM's new native user interface, designed to make information easier to find and truck-specific tasks easier to manage, with high-contrast displays, a reimagined split-view home screen, driver displays and all-new 3D visualization for navigation, vehicle status, media, trailering and Super Cruise information. The 16.3-inch diagonal center infotainment touchscreen is the largest in its class, an available first-in-class articulating center screen provides hidden storage, and an available 11.5-inch diagonal front passenger display uses polarized technology that helps keep content visible only to the passenger. An available camera suite provides up to 19 views, including Rear Camera Mirror, Cabin Glance, Hitch View, transparent trailer and front and rear underbody views, and the underbody cameras feature a wash system. The interface integrates Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with native vehicle features and adds Google built-in services such as Google Gemini, Google Maps and apps on Google Play, along with over-the-air updates, available 5G connectivity, six USB ports, a 120-volt center-console outlet, HDMI access and dual MagSafe wireless charging. Adaptive Cruise Control and available Super Cruise can now be activated with one tap, and GMC says the truck introduces an industry-first Trailer Brake Gain Assistant.
- For 2027 the Sierra adds 12 new standard safety features, including Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, Reverse Automatic Braking, Safety Alert Seat, Adaptive Cruise Control, IntelliBeam, Front and Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Pedestrian Alert and an HD Rear Vision Camera.
- Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology with trailering capability is standard on AT4, AT4X, Denali and Denali Ultimate and available on Elevation, and includes a 3-year OnStar One plan.
- On equipped vehicles, Super Cruise supports Automatic Lane Change and Turn Signal Initiated Lane Change, though those features are not available while trailering.

- Pro: $51,295

- AT4: $73,495

Why this matters
The Sierra 1500 is a core GMC product, so its engine lineup and prices directly affect truck buyers, GMC dealers and competitors in the half-ton segment. GMC is keeping V8 and diesel choices alongside a turbocharged base engine and its most powerful half-ton V8 ever, giving combustion-minded buyers several options. Buyers also get a broader standard safety suite and Super Cruise on four of the six trims.
