GMC’s Sierra 1500 got a redesign for 2019 to give it a nicer cabin and to improve its towing and hauling prowess. Does it stand out among the competition in the full-size pickup truck rankings? No.

Sierra is still a great truck. It offers a smooth ride and a variety of powerful engine options to boost its towing capability. The cabin is roomy and quiet and with a good infotainment system and a lot of solid safety features. While its massive size means it won’t be for everyone, for many it might just be what they’re looking for.

You can get a GMC Sierra 1500 at a starting price of $29,600 which is the middle of the road when it comes to the full-size class. There’s a variety of bed, cab, and engine configurations available that up the price along with many higher trim levels. The Denali trim will cost you $54,700.

Which Sierra is right for me?

If you’ll often be alone or sometimes with one to two passengers, the regular cab could work. If you often have back seat passengers, the double cab might work better. The expansive back seat of the crew cab is roomy for even tall passengers.

The Sierra offers three different bed lengths to choose from. The longest is eight feet long and only available with the regular cab. The 6-foot-6-inch bed can be paired with the double and crew cabs. The shortest is 5 feet 8 inches and can only be paired with the crew cab models.

Sierra’s maximum towing capacity is 12,200 pounds and for that, you’d need a model with an available 6.2-liter V8 and four-wheel drive plus the Max Trailering package. The configuration pairs with the double cab which offers only the 6-foot-6-inch bed and runs around $51,000.

A versatile, comfortable full-size pickup truck, the 2019 GMC Sierra may not offer everything its peers do. But it deserves a look while you’re out shopping for your next truck.
