Follow along with Davis Chevrolet as we closely examine the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 and everything it has to offer.

Exterior Design

Refined & Luxurious

The GMC Sierra 1500 was among the first pickup trucks built that introduced the idea of refinement and luxury to the segment. For 2023, GMC has continued to expand on that concept with the Denali and Denali Ultimate trims. Both versions enhance the truck’s bold proportions with exclusive accent elements like the chrome grill, specialized wheel designs, and more.

Off-Road-Ready Models

Life can take us almost anywhere. If your journey requires getting off the pavement and into the wilderness, the 2023 Sierra AT4 and AT4X trims are ready to go almost anywhere. The AT4 trim features a 2-inch factory-installed lift kit, mud terrain tires and red recovery hooks. Buyers can get all of that plus 18-inch wheels, more aggressive tires, and available accessory rocker protection with the AT4X version of the 2023 Sierra 1500.

Starting Strong

The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 offers two of the most impressive entry-level trim grades in the segment. Buyers taking home the latest SLT and Elevation trims will get a truck featuring a sophisticated monochromatic exterior that is accented and enhanced with a gloss-black grille.

Interior Design

2023 GMC Sierra 1500

Denali & Denali Ultimate

There are very few, if any, competing pickup trucks that can go toe-to-toe with the interior refinement offered by the Denali and Denali Ultimate trim grades. Denali models deliver several driver-centric technology options like a premium Bose® audio system with a Richbass woofer, as well as a cabin accented with real wood trim pieces and other sophisticated accents. The Denali Ultimate adds: ● Alpine Umber interior colours ● Full-grain leather seating upholstery ● Embossed Mt. Denali topography maps ● Laser-etched Paldao wood panels ● Several leather-trimmed elements

AT4 & AT4X

The Sierra 1500’s AT4 and AT4X trims not only have off-road-ready components, but the interiors of each trim are built to match. Davis Chevrolet customers choosing the AT4 model will get darkened trim and decor, perforated front leather seating surface in Jet Back and Kalahari trim accents, as well as plentiful small-item storage solutions. AT4X versions add enhanced interior elements like the Obsidian Rush interior, more full-grain seating, technical-grain leather accents, as well as red and ceramic white contrast stitching.

SLT & Elevation

Customers looking at the SLT and Elevation models will see some features that overlap between the two versions. The SLT stands out with 10-way power-adjustable rear bucket seats with perforated leather elements. An Elevation version has a cloth-covered 40/20/40 front bench seat that also offers under-seat storage. The front bucket seats have leather upholstery options and can be equipped with a wireless charging tray.

Technology

Multiple Digital Screens

GMC pickup trucks have featured touchscreens for a while. However, the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 is equipped with multiple driver-focused screens that will keep the person behind the wheel apprised of everything that is happening with the truck. The screen mounted in the center stack is where the smartphone-compatible infotainment system is located, with the other screen replacing the analog gauge cluster behind the steering wheel.

Available Heads-Up Display

There is a lot of information to keep track of coming into the 2023 Sierra 1500. Drivers will be able to stay on top of much of it thanks to the available 15-inch heads-up display projected on the windshield. It’s standard on the Denali Ultimate and AT4X, and available on the Denali and AT4.

Whether you’re backing into a parking spot, pulling a trailer or tackling rugged terrain, an extra set of eyes can be helpful. The 2023 Sierra 1500 offers this without the need to bring another person with you with up to 14 available camera views that can be viewed on the truck’s touchscreen. These camera views include:

  • Transparent Trailer View
