2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Sierra 1500 is available in eight trim levels: Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali and Denali Ultimate. Three cab configurations are offered: regular cab, double cab (it's a crew cab but with smaller rear doors and less rear seat space) and crew cab. Not all trims are available in all configurations. Three bed lengths are available depending on the cab configuration.

The Sierra is available with four engines, though availability depends on the truck's configuration. They include:

  • Turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine (310 hp, 430 lb-ft of torque)
  • Turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine (305 hp, 495 lb-ft of torque)
  • 5.3-liter V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft of torque)
  • 6.2-liter V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft)

Pro
Starts out the Sierra lineup with:

  • 17-inch steel wheels

  • 7-inch touchscreen

  • Frontal collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

SLE
Includes all of the base Sierra's features and adds a lot more, including:

Elevation
The Elevation only adds a few features on top of the SLE, including:

SLT
Ramps up the Sierra's luxury vibe with:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Heated and power-folding mirrors
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Auto-dimming driver's side and rearview mirrors
  • Leather upholstery
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat

Enhances the Sierra's off-road performance with:

  • Standard four-wheel drive
  • Hill descent control
  • Upgraded suspension with a 2-inch lift
  • All-terrain tires
  • Recovery hooks
  • Skid plates

Other than the off-road upgrades, the AT4 also includes:

  • Spray-in bedliner
  • Ventilated front seats with center console
  • Integrated trailer brake controller
  • Heated rear outboard seats
  • Seven-speaker Bose premium audio
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Trailer blind-spot monitor
  • Wireless charging pad

AT4X
Comes with even more features, including:

  • Off-road-specific adaptive suspension (helps improve ride comfort and handling stability)
  • Electronic front and rear locking differentials
  • Sunroof
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Bed-view camera
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Virtual rearview mirror camera (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)

Denali
The Sierra Denali includes all of the safety features listed for the AT4X minus the adaptive cruise control and builds off the SLT trim with:

  • Adaptive suspension (can adjust to improve ride comfort and handling)
  • Integrated trailer brake controller
  • Spray-in bedliner
  • Bed-view camera
  • Bose audio system
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Heated second-row seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Wireless charging

Denali Ultimate
Stands as the ultimate Sierra 1500 by way of:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Super Cruise (uses the vehicle's advanced driver aids to further provide hands-free driving capability on select highways)
  • Carbon-fiber composite bed
  • Sunroof
  • Head-up display
  • 12-speaker Bose premium audio

Many features found in the upper trim levels can be added to the lower trims through option packages.

Which Sierra 1500 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the SLE trim offers the best value. It avoids the lofty prices of the upper trims but still gives you a core set of important features, including cruise control, carpeting, heated seats and the useful MultiPro tailgate.
