What's New in the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500?

The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 rolls into the new model year with few changes. The first change is that models with the 6.2-liter V8 get a more aggressive exhaust note in the Sport driving mode. Second, the White Frost Tricoat and Thunderstorm Gray paint options are gone; the Clacier White Tricoat and Coastal Dune finishes take their places. Other than that, the new 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 features most of what the previous model year had.

Features That Remain Unchanged from the 2025 Model Year

Four Engine Options, Including the Torque-Rich Diesel: With four engine options, rear- or four-wheel drive, and two transmission options, there are many ways to configure the new GMC Sierra 1500. The base 2.7-liter four-cylinder generates 310 horsepower, while the two V8 options offer 355 horsepower and 420 horsepower. The efficient diesel option is the six-cylinder that produces 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque.

The AT4 & AT4X Offer Rugged Performance: The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 and AT4X trims still offer some of the best off-roading/rugged features on the pickup market. Find a 2.0-inch suspension lift, advanced spool-valve dampers, extra skid plates, and more.

A High Maximum Towing Capacity: The GMC Sierra 1500 still hangs with the best of them with its high towing rating. It can tow up to 13,300 pounds with the proper equipment and packages.

Super Cruise: Super Cruise makes a return with compatible roads that have tripled since 2018. Super Cruise allows for convenient hands-free driving and lane changing, helping maintain a set pace and distance to vehicles in front of you. Remember that drivers must remain attentive while Super Cruise is working.

Large Displays for Seamless Use While on the Go: With both an available 12.3-inch customizable Driver Information Center, an available 13.4-inch center touch screen, and the available 15-inch Head-Up Display, there is over 40 inches of screen to help you while on the go.

Smart Storage Solutions: The GMC Sierra 1500 offers a plethora of storage solutions, including available rear under-seat storage, available center console storage, a large lower lockable glove box and upper glove box, and rear seatback storage with multiple compartments.
