The GMC Sierra 1500 is GMC’s light-duty, full-size pickup. We, however, don’t think there is anything “light” about this truck, and we mean that as a compliment. It could certainly compete with heavy hitters in the categories of comfort, style, technology, safety, and performance. In fact, JD Power named it the “Best Large Duty Pickup” in 2021. It got high rankings in quality and reliability, durability, and resale value (it actually got very high ratings for resale value, making it a solid investment). As a GMC dealer, we regularly welcome customers interested in this impressive pickup. Some are long-time, loyal Sierra 1500 drivers. Others have seen the truck, are curious about it, and want to learn more. No matter which camp you are in, we’re always excited to talk about this truck.
If we had to choose one thing we love the most about the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, it would have to be its versatility. Within that, there are actually tons of things we love — that’s what makes it so versatile. Drivers can build the truck of their dreams thanks to all of the different features you can choose and configure in this pickup. We consistently sell GMC Sierras to every type of driver, from parents needing an everyday truck to contractors needing a highly capable pickup. Here is a close look at just how versatile the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is.
Available Selectable Traction Modes
Depending on how you use your truck, you might need the power to tackle a range of terrain on a regular basis. Plus, we know that if you live anywhere in the state of Michigan, you definitely need to be able to drive in snow. That’s why we love the available selectable traction modes. When you have this feature, you can quickly push a button, and your vehicle will make in-the-moment adjustments to adapt to the terrain you’re on. The modes available will depend on the model you purchase and the equipment you might choose. All of the available modes are as follows:
Tour Mode
Tour mode is what you’ll likely spend most of your time in. It’s ideal for everyday driving, as it’s designed to optimize fuel efficiency and prioritize a comfortable ride.
Sport Mode
Sport mode is for those looking to do some spirited driving. The system makes adjustments to the steering responsiveness, dampers, and suspension for a fun behind-the-wheel experience.
Terrain Mode
Terrain mode gives you automatic braking and makes adjustments to help you stay in command if you’re driving over constantly changing surfaces.
Off-Road
The off-road mode will boost traction and handling in unpredictable conditions, like gravel or sand environments.
Snow Mode
Snow mode will only be available on two-wheel drive models. It’s designed to give you more control on slippery roads by adjusting braking and torque response.
Tow/Haul
When in tow/haul mode, the vehicle will automatically remain at a low gear for improved torque when trailering or towing.
Four Engine Options
We particularly love the range of engine options for 2024 Sierra 1500 drivers. Today, pickups aren’t just for work sites or off-roading. Some drivers use them for family life. Others need them to travel to work sites on some days and the grocery store on others. Of course, there will always be drivers who need a pickup for serious towing and hauling just at work sites. There’s an engine for everyone in this year’s lineup.
The 2.7L TurboMax I-4 will be the default engine for most trims. It has a solid towing ability of over 9,400 lbs and gets great fuel economy on the city and highway, whether you opt for a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive model. Those needing to handle some light towing and trailering but also need a good everyday truck will do well with this starting engine. Drivers who need more oomph in the towing department but don’t want to see a drastic dip in fuel economy can jump up to the next engine, the 5.3L V8. It gets drivers just over 11,200 lbs of towing power. Its fuel economy won’t be right for long drives, but is perfect for trips around town.
Next up is the 6.2L V8, which gets you up to 13,000 lbs of towing power. Naturally, you will see a dip in fuel economy. However, if you need a truck with serious towing abilities that will mostly move around a job site, this is a great choice. Finally, if you don’t want to sacrifice power or fuel efficiency and need a good deal of both, there’s the 3.0L DuraMax Turbo-Diesel I-6. It combines the fuel economy you get from diesel fuel with towing abilities that trump those of the 6.2L V8. If you have to travel far between job sites and tow a lot when you get there, this is the engine for you.
An Array of Trim Options
We cannot emphasize enough just what a diverse group of shoppers pick up a Sierra 1500 from us. We have the truck’s incredible range of trims to thank for that. Drivers looking for a serious work truck with no frills can get the starting level Pro trim. It’ll have all the features and powers that contractors, agricultural workers, and similar professionals need to tackle daily jobs. Then there are the off-road-ready trims, with the AT4 and AT4X. Drivers looking for that ideal truck to explore off the beaten path without coming back with a beaten-up truck should check out these trims.
Luxury lovers can even find something they want in the Denali and newer Denali Ultimate trims. With premium materials and phenomenal comfort and convenience features, these trims transform what people think of pickups. Between the basic, off-road, and luxury trims, there are other trims that sample a little bit of the others. There’s a lot to explore in this trim lineup, and that’s why so many different types of drivers love the 2024 Sierra 1500.
