Exterior Design
Denali & Denali Ultimate
The Denali is one of the most legendary editions of vehicles in the industry, and it continues its claim to fame with a premium look on the Sierra 1500, with chrome accents that underline an elegant look on this tough-looking pickup. New is a Denali Ultimate trim, with its grille finished in Vader Chrome and 22-inch low-gloss black aluminum wheels.
AT4 & AT4X
The AT4 trims are newer trim levels set to satisfy those with a thirst for adventure. The AT4 features mud-terrain tires and dark accents that create a bold look that’s ready to tackle the off-road. The new AT4X is the pinnacle of an adventure-ready pickup, highlighted by 18-inch wheels (in a high-gloss black finish), rocker protection), updated front and grille (in a Dark Nickel finish), red recovery hooks, signature badging and more.
Elevation
For those who want a more subdued look on their pickup, the Elevation presents its own unique, bold look that balances a streamlined style that will still turn heads. It’s highlighted by a monochromatic exterior and a gloss black grille.

Smart storage areas allow you to expertly store your gear for your latest adventure. The AT4X is highlighted by Obsidian Rush, full-grain leather-wrapped seats and red & ceramic white double needle stitching. Authentic Vanta Ash wood finished everything off.
SLT & Elevation
The SLT is highlighted by 10-way power-adjustable front bucket seats, as well as heated & ventilated front leather features, for an incredibly comfortable seating experience. The Elevation provides its own unique set of interior features, with standard cloth material and a front 40/20/40 bench seat. The front leather bucket seats are heated for max comfort, and for those who need to stay fully charged, the wireless charging pad has all of your needs met.
