About the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500
The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size half-ton pickup offered in eight trims, from the work-ready Pro starting at $38,300 to the top Denali Ultimate at $84,400. Buyers choose among four engines: the 2.7L TurboMax, 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8, and 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. Three cab styles cover Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab builds, and a properly equipped Sierra 1500 tows up to 13,300 lbs. Available Super Cruise hands-free driving makes the run from Hot Springs out to Lake Hamilton far easier.
For 2026, the Denali Ultimate gains a refreshed interior with available full-grain leather and massaging front seats, pushing the lineup further upmarket. The off-road AT4 and AT4X now come standard with the 3.0L Duramax diesel, a change worth noting for anyone cross-shopping a 2025 truck. Inside, the Crew Cab offers 44.53" of front legroom for full-size comfort on longer drives.
