Eight trims are available for the GMC Sierra 1500 for the 2023 model year: Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. Beginning with the entry-level Pro, standard features include 17-inch Silver painted wheels, cab-mounted cargo lights, a chrome front bumper, and a CornerStep rear bumper. The SLE adds Bright Silver wheels, cargo bed LED lighting, a GMC MultiPro Tailgate with EZ lift assist, and heated power outside mirrors. The Elevation sits atop high-gloss black 20-inch wheels while adding body-color bumpers and unlocking options such as an illuminated front GMC emblem and assist steps. Next up, the AT4 rolls down the road on 22-inch wheels and adds a 2-inch factory lift, while the all-new Denali Ultimate gets you a distinct grille in Vader Chrome and exclusive badging.

Several engines are offered for the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, depending on the trim you choose. The standard fitting is a 2.7-liter high-output engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that makes 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. A 5.3-liter V-8 EcoTec3 engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The next engine is the sole diesel offering, a 3.0 Duramax turbo-charged diesel that churns out 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. The last engine on the list is exclusive to the AT4X, a 6.2-liter V-8 that delivers 420 horsepower.

Performance-enhancing features are found across the trims of the 2023 Sierra 1500. Stop/start technology powers off the engine at idle, helping to boost the fuel economy. You also get an automatic locking rear differential and an optional Cat-Back performance exhaust system. Most trims feature rear-wheel drive standard, but to get the most out of your truck, opt for the four-wheel drive. The off-road-ready AT4 adds off-road specific features such as an off-road suspension system and Rancho monotube shocks and has a maximum towing capacity of 9,000 pounds.

A hard-working truck that can also rival a luxury vehicle with its plush cabin describes the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. Beginning at the SLT trim, you get a 13.4-inch color touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch driver information center, while the Elevation will add heated front seats. Opt for the AT4 to add heated and ventilated front seats, a leather heated steering wheel, and a wireless charger. The Denali Ulitmate features an Alpine Umber interior with 16-way massaging power front seats and a 12-speaker Bose sound system.
