Quick Answer: The 2027 GMC Sierra 1500 comes in Pro, Elevation, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims. Engine choices are a 2.7L TurboMax (350 hp), a new 5.7L V8 (402 hp), a new 6.6L V8 (481 hp), and a 3.0L Duramax diesel (305 hp), all with a 10-speed automatic. Properly equipped, it tows up to 13,500 lbs. GMC expects the first trucks at dealerships before the end of 2026.
GMC lists a starting MSRP of $39,300 for the 2027 Sierra 1500 Pro. In Crew Cab 4WD form, pricing for all six trims includes the $2,795 destination freight charge. Each trim has its own standard engine, so the badge you pick also decides what sits under the hood.
Pro is GMC’s work-focused entry point and still includes the 16.3-inch touchscreen and 12.2-inch Driver Information Center. Elevation adds more expressive styling and premium tech, and it is the first trim where Super Cruise is offered (Crew Cab). Both come standard with the 350-hp 2.7L TurboMax.
The AT4 pairs the 5.7L V8 with a 2-inch factory lift, monotube shocks, and 34-inch all-terrain tires. The AT4X steps up to the 3.0L Duramax diesel, Multimatic Jounce Control Dampers, 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Baja drive mode, and front and rear electronic locking differentials.
Denali comes standard with the 5.7L V8, real wood trim, and 12-way heated and ventilated front seats. Denali Ultimate moves to the 481-hp 6.6L V8 and adds 14-way massaging front seats, a 15-inch head-up display, the 11.5-inch passenger display, a 16-speaker Bose system, and 22-inch wheels.

The redesigned body brings new 7-shaped lighting, trim-specific off-road hardware, and a reworked MultiPro Tailgate with more tie-down points.
New 7-shaped headlamps and taillamps give the 2027 Sierra 1500 a distinct look, with available welcome and farewell animations.
The AT4X pairs its 2-inch factory lift with 35-inch mud-terrain tires and front and rear e-lockers. GMC says no competitor in the class offers that locker combination.

And if you want the most luxury, the Denali Ultimate pairs the 481-hp 6.6L V8 with the most premium cabin in the lineup.
