The GMC Sierra 1500 has earned its reputation the hard way, showing up for work every morning and still feeling good on the drive home. At Ray Skillman Southside Buick GMC, we know this truck from the work-ready Pro to the leather-lined Denali Ultimate, and there’s a Sierra for whatever you tow, haul, or drive.
Pickups aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is the Sierra lineup, which runs from a bare-bones work truck to a near-luxury SUV.
FIND YOUR USED GMC SIERRA 1500
GMC has pulled the wraps off the next generation. The redesigned Sierra 1500 is a ground-up rework, the first full overhaul in nearly a decade. The headline is a pair of all-new sixth-generation Small Block V8 engines, a 5.7L and a 6.6L, joining an enhanced TurboMax four-cylinder and the class-exclusive Duramax diesel, each with a 10-speed automatic.
The interior changes most. Higher trims add up to three screens, including a 16.3-inch central touchscreen that articulates to reveal hidden storage and an 11.5-inch passenger display. Real wood trim, an available panoramic sunroof, and more standard crew cab space push the cabin upmarket, while expanded Super Cruise carries capability forward.
As for timing, the newest GMC Sierra 1500 is expected later this year, with the first trucks expected before the end of the calendar year. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet. If you want the latest version of the GMC Sierra 1500 for sale near Columbus, Indiana, the smart move is to reserve early, and our team can get your name on the list.

Every Sierra 1500 starts with real capability. The available TurboMax 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, which GMC calls best-in-class standard torque, and it can pull up to 9,400 pounds when properly equipped. The 5.3L and 6.2L V8s add low-end grunt for merging with a loaded bed.
For drivers who tow often, the available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel is the quiet workhorse, pairing strong torque with better fuel economy than the gas engines. Properly configured, the Sierra can pull more than 13,000 pounds, so a big travel trailer stays within reach. The available ProGrade Trailering System and up to 14 camera views simplify hooking up. Here’s how a few popular trims compare:
