At a Glance: The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500

The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 is a versatile pickup that’s ready to take on tough workloads and demanding terrains, as it offers multiple engine options, off-road capabilities, and exceptional handling in different driving conditions. It also delivers plenty of advanced entertainment options, as well as a wide array of driver-assist and interior luxury features that help to make every drive a stress-free one.

Engines and Versatility

With this edition, you can choose between four impressive engines. The first is a 310-horsepower 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, though if you need more power, you’ll easily find it in the 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 or the 6.2-liter V8 that delivers 420 horses. Then there’s the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel, a 305-horsepower engine that provides a 13,200-pound maximum towing capacity and excellent fuel economy, with up to 29 MPG in estimated highway mileage.

When nature calls, the available four-wheel drive system can help you easily tackle demanding terrains, and there’s also a multi-mode traction-adjustment system that provides up to five different driving modes for you to toggle through, with an additional Snow mode offered in two-wheel-drive models.

Comforts and Design

Inside and outside this pickup, you’ll find plenty of style and convenience, and the cabin offers more than its fair share of luxury features, like a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, 16-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated seats with a massage function, and a dual-zone climate control that can accommodate yours and your front passenger’s different temperature preferences.

Outside, you’ll love the six-function MultiPro Tailgate, which offers multiple gating options to secure cargo and a step to easily climb in and out of the bed, as well as a durable work surface. Wheel sizes range from 18 to 22 inches, and a wide range of different styles are available, from the 12-spoke high-gloss black aluminum wheels to the multidimensional polished aluminum ones.

Technology and Safety

With the GMC Infotainment System, you can make calls to saved contacts using your voice, send and receive texts, access Google Maps when lost, and stay busy with multiple entertainment options and apps, all on a 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen. There’s also a multi-camera system with 14 different views available and a 15-inch head-up display that can transform the lower area of your windshield into a convenient information center.

This truck’s safety features are also advanced, like Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, two collision-prevention features that can first notify you if you’re at risk of a frontal collision and then automatically stop the vehicle if you don’t respond. When making lane changes, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert can let you know if it’s safe to do so by notifying you when other vehicles are approaching the blind spot areas around your vehicle.

Few pickups come close to matching the 2023 Sierra 1500’s incredible performance, first-class interior, and intelligent driver-assist features.
