2018 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT

The 2018 Sierra 1500 is GMC's full-size pickup, offered in Base, SLE, SLT, and Denali trims with a focus on upscale comfort and capability. It competes head-to-head with the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Chevrolet Silverado, standing out with a more premium cabin and available Denali luxury. The Sierra rides with a composed, truck-like feel, and the steering is accurate for a full-size pickup, though the ride can be firm when unloaded. Inside, the cabin is roomy and quiet, with high-quality materials in upper trims and a user-friendly infotainment system with available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The crew cab offers generous rear-seat space and a versatile bed, with available features like a tailgate step and cargo management system. The SLT skips the Denali's extra luxury and unique styling, but it keeps the same 355 horsepower V8 and adds leather seats and heated front seats for thousands less. Its 5.3L I8 makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, and the six-speed automatic shifts smoothly while the four-wheel drive gives you confident traction on loose surfaces. Standard features include the heavy-duty automatic locking rear differential and a 4.2-inch Driver Information Center, plus the available tailgate step makes loading the bed easier.
