There are eight GMC Sierra 1500 trims: the GMC Sierra 1500 work truck trim, called the Pro; the three upgrade levels for the work truck (SLE, Elevation, SLT); two off-roading models (AT4, AT4X); and two high-end trims that are great for families (Denali, Denali Ultimate).
The GMC Sierra 1500 has three cabins: the Regular Cab (which seats three passengers), the Double Cab (which seats six), and the Crew Cab (which also seats six, but has much more space for the second-row passengers). The truck can also have a Long Bed (89.10 cubic feet of space, exclusive to the Regular Cab), a Standard Bed (71.70 cubic feet of space), or a Short Bed (62.90 cubic feet of space). Here is how the GMC Sierra 1500 trim levels pan out for these setups:

Notably, GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trims have a slightly wider selection of configurations than the standard RWD, due to the AT4X and Denali Ultimate being exclusive to the drivetrain.
The Pro trim has the most flexible lineup of configurations, including access to the three-seat Regular Cab, which is otherwise unavailable. The Crew Cab Short Bed is the most common configuration, offered on every trim and the only option for the AT4X and Denali Ultimate.
The GMC Sierra 1500 trim levels each have a reason to be considered. Whether you're thinking about the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 vs. Denali trucks, there's a reason to test-drive them both.
Are you ready to shop our inventory? Maybe you still want to know more minute differences between models, such as if you should invest in the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 vs. AT4X off-roader? If so, contact our team and schedule an appointment to test-drive them both. You can browse new or search our used Sierra 1500 inventory for options that match your style and configuration needs.
If you're interested in bringing a Pro model to a worksite, our GMC Sierra upfit options are comprehensive. Contractors, construction workers, and moving companies alike can benefit from our commercial partnerships.
For most drivers, the SLE is perhaps the best trim thanks to its affordability and multiple configurations. Plus, it has a wider range of comfort and convenience features, like more screen space and lumbar support, as well as access to a diesel engine.
While all GMC Sierra 1500 levels have off-road capabilities, the best packages to do this task are the AT4 and AT4x. These models are specifically designed to tackle the roads less traveled, with features such as factory lifts, skid plates, transfer cases, and front- and rear-locking differentials.
If you want luxury, consider the Denali and Denali Ultimate. These trims offer the pinnacle of GMC Sierra 1500 design, with style options such as a chrome header, authentic wood, Forge perforated leather seating surfaces, 16-way seating, and a 12-speaker Bose® sound system.
All trim levels of the GMC Sierra 1500 can boast a Crew Cab. This configuration creates the most space for passengers, with six seats and ample rear-row legroom. As a result, it is an excellent configuration for families.
The cheapest GMC Sierra 1500 trim is the Pro level, but accessibility doesn't mean it's poorly crafted. The Pro is a work truck, focusing less on interior tech and more on durable design, outlets, tie-downs, and a varied number of distinctive configurations. It's easy to build a Pro truck for your worksite.
The highest GMC Sierra 1500 trim is the Denali Ultimate, barely over the AT4X. The Denali Ultimate has the most comprehensive list of comfort options, including seven-spoke 22-inch wheels, the Denali Vader Chrome grille, Super Cruise™ hands-free driving assistance, 16-way seating with ventilation and massage, a premium sound system, and much more.

Tyron Gary was a pleasure to work with and really took care of us on our new GMC truck purchase. Definitely couldn’t ask for a more professional experience. We added some accessories during the purchase and Tyron made sure everything was handled as expected. Overall a great experience and will definitely use Carl Black in the future.
