2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Preview Specs, Price, Release Date

The SLE brings on a significant increase in price but also a large dose of premium with a dressed-up exterior and a redesigned interior. The 17-inch silver-painted alloy wheels, silver grille inserts, chrome mirror caps, body-color door handles, LED bed lighting, and multi-function tailgate are among the notable exterior features.

Proximity entry allows for easier access to the much more appealing interior dashboard design which not only integrates the large infotainment touchscreen but also a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Heated front seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, and a heated steering wheel are also included. The Preferred Package is $1,480 and includes an integrated trailer brake controller with connection confirmations, and wheel liners.

The Elevation trim wears body-colored front and rear bumpers, a gloss black grille, darkened headlight housings, black 20-inch wheels, and notably includes a power outlet in the bed. It also opens up the Elevation Premium Package ($4,150) that includes the items of the SLE’s Preferred Package plus leather seating, a Bose premium stereo, and an HD Surround camera system.

The SLT trim is equipped with 18-inch dark gray wheels, chrome bumpers, mirror caps, door handles, window surrounds, grille inserts, full LED rear lights, and power-folding mirrors with auto-dimming on the driver’s side.

There are several option packages along the way – SLT Convenience Package, SLT Preferred Package ($1,480), Prograde Trailering Package, and Sierra Safety Plus Package – to the SLT Premium Plus Package $5,525 which is summed up by 20-inch painted and polished wheels, chrome side-steps, a full-length center console, heated outboard rear seats, and ventilated front seats.

The AT4 trim is supported by a two-inch lift kit with Rancho-brand shocks, 18-inch wheels with severe-duty Goodyear tires that will require a punch to the fuel economy rating and ride quality but its black chrome grille trim, Bose stereo, redesigned dash panel with contrast stitching, ventilated front seats and heated rear seats help to add the comfort back in.

The Technology Package is $1,525 and installs a rear camera mirror, a head-up display, and a bed-view camera. The AT4 Premium Package is just $945 and brings adaptive cruise control, a power sliding rear window, and high-clearance side steps. The AT4 CardonPro Edition Package is $1,125 and fits a carbon fiber composite bed and a sound system into the tailgate.

The AT4X adds capability and luxury to the AT4 trim with upgraded adaptive dampers, upgraded tires, a stamped steel high-clearance front bumper, electronically locking front and rear differentials, unique 18-inch gloss-black wheels, the features of the Technology Package, 16-way power-adjustable seats with massage and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The AEV edition is $6,895 and makes the AT4X further off-road-ready with rock rails, upgraded skid plates including a rear differential skid plate, a heavy-duty rear bumper, 33-inch tires, and interior floor liners and seat headrests with AEV logos.

The Denali trim returns the Sierra to an on-road focus and loads on the creature comforts. It wears chrome exterior trim, 20-inch polished wheels, open-pore wood and brushed aluminum interior trim, upgraded leather seats, and adaptive dampers, and offers the Denali Reserve Package for $4,065 with 22-inch wheels, power-retracting side steps, and the features of the Technology Package. For another $1,300, the Sierra can be fitted with GM’s hands-free driver assistance technology, Super Cruise.

The Denali Ultimate trim was new last year and continues to offer a very premium list of standard features such as unique 22-inch wheels, a carbon-composite bed, power side steps, a unique premium Bose audio system, and 16-way power front seats with massage.
