2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali

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 Denali is the top Sierra trim, and you get the luxury cabin and MagneRide suspension that the SLT doesn't offer. Its 6.2L I8 makes 355 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving it strong passing power and 17 mpg combined. Standard MagneRide adaptive dampers smooth out rough pavement, but the ride is still firm when the bed is empty.
