Meet the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500

Full-sized trucks have grown in popularity over the years – and for good reason. They offer plenty of space, great features, and enough power for some light-duty tasks. One of the most popular full-sized trucks on the market is the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. What features make this truck so popular compared to others? Read on to find out.

An Introduction to the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500

The Sierra 1500 is a light-duty full-sized pickup truck that offers a massive selection of cab, bed, and engine options along with an impressive safety suite.

So Many Cab and Bed Options

You can customize your Sierra 1500 to your liking thanks to the wide variety of different cab and bed options.

You have your pick between three different cab options:

• The single-row regular cab
• The two-row double cab
• The two-row crew cab, which offers much more rear legroom than the double cab

What about the beds? You can choose a 70-inch short bed, a 79-inch standard bed, or a 98-inch long bed.

Four Different Powertrains To Choose From

The Sierra 1500 doesn’t only have a variety of configuration options; it doesn’t skimp on the engine options either.

You can choose between four different powertrain configurations:

1. A 2.7-liter turbo inline-four with eight-speed automatic transmission and an output of 430 lb-ft of torque and 310 hp
2. A 5.3-liter V-8 engine with 10-speed automatic transmission and an output of 383 lb-ft of torque and 355 hp
3. A 6.2-liter V-8 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an output of 460 lb-ft of torque and 420 hp
4. A powerful 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an output of 495 lb-ft of torque and 305 hp

Some engines come standard on certain trims. All options come with your choice of RWD or 4WD, allowing them to tow at least 9,500 pounds when properly equipped.

An Impressive Safety Suite

All trims of the Sierra 1500 come equipped with the GMC Pro Safety suite, which provides standard advanced driver-assist technology such as:

• Forward collision warning
• Automatic emergency braking
• Automatic high-beams
• A following distance indicator
• Lane departure warning
• Lane keep assist
• Front pedestrian braking

You can upgrade your safety suite to get a multicamera system with trailer compatibility and hands-free driving tech.

What’s New for 2023

Some trims of the 2023 Sierra 1500 see updates for the model year. The AT4EX AEFV Edition expanded its off-roading capabilities with additional ski plates, steel bumpers, and more. The AT4 trim also now comes standard with the Sierra Safety Plus package.

There are also two new trims: the AEV Edition for off-road recreational driving and the attractive Graphite Edition.
