Whether you need a truck for daily tasks or weekend adventures, the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is up for the challenge. Some of its eight trim levels are perfect for work, while others suit explorers or those seeking a luxury adventure vehicle.

Pro

Rugged and capable, the entry-level Pro is a great choice for daily trucking. It gets power from a 310-hp TurboMax engine, while an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive deliver responsive acceleration and handling. Silver 17-inch wheels and all-season tires are standard, while the spacious bed comes with 12 cargo tie-downs for added convenience.

SLE

The SLE trim brings more comfort and upgraded tech features. Heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a heated steering wheel make this trim a pleasure to drive in all kinds of weather. A 12.3-inch driver information center and a 13.4-inch infotainment system with Google built-in can redefine your driving experience.

Elevation

A showstopper in traffic, the Elevation trim builds on the SLE with eye-catching 20-inch wheels and a monochromatic exterior with Gloss Black grille inserts. LED fog lamps improve visibility in adverse driving conditions, and you can pick your favorite from three engine options.

SLT

The SLT takes performance up a notch with its 355-hp 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine, while two other engines are available. An engine-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, Drive Shift Control, and a Tow/Haul mode optimizes the power distribution for enhanced control and handling in various driving conditions. Utility features include cargo bed lighting.

AT4

Explorers can’t go wrong with the AT4 trim level, which comes standard with a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine that makes 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. The rugged powertrain pairs with standard four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case. A factory-installed 2-inch lift enhances ground clearance, while performance shocks deliver smooth rides on all terrains.

AT4X

Based on the AT4, the AT4X boosts both performance and luxury. It has front and rear electronic locking differentials, DSSV Multimatic dampers, and a front AEV skid plate and bumper. Inside, 16-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats can turn your drives into relaxing time on the road.

Denali

The Denali builds on the SLT with luxe upgrades, such as authentic wood and patterned aluminum interior trims and perforated leather seating surfaces. A standard bed camera allows you to keep an eye on your cargo and provides help with 5th-wheel or gooseneck hitching. Premium suspensions with adaptive ride control are also standard on this trim level.

Denali Ultimate

Perfect for those seeking rugged performance and uncompromising luxury, the Denali Ultimate pairs most AT4X and Denali features in a trim that has it all. You can expect a unique Denali interior theme, 16-way adjustable front seats, and advanced technologies, such as a heads-up display and SuperCruise hands-free driving assistance.
