Trim Levels And Bed Configurations

There are four trim levels. The base trim is offered as a regular cab or double cab only, and the uplevel SLE, SLT, and Denali trims are available in all three configurations. The base trim is rather utilitarian and offers few amenities, but the uplevel versions come with an upgraded infotainment unit, a backup camera, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The top-of-the-line Denali features such niceties as a full driver awareness and assistance package, towing hardware, and heated front seats.
Engine Choices
The base trim and SLE versions are powered by a 4.3L V6 that produces a total of 285 horsepower and power is sent via an automatic transmission. The larger 5.3L V8 is optional on the base trim and SLE version. This engine delivers 354 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque.
The SLT trim comes standard with the 5.3L engine, and this trim can be purchased with an optional eight-speed automatic transmission. At this level, a powerful 6.2L V8 is also an option. This engine makes a total of 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The Denali is also offered with the choice of either of the V8 engines. All of the 2WD Sierra 1500 trucks are rear-wheel drive.
Driving Experience
The 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD performs very nicely over backroads and trails. The 2WD gives better ride quality if the larger, 20-inch tires are not purchased as an option. The ride quality is very good on paved roads, with very little sharpness experienced when the vehicle travels over bumps.
With the 6.2L V8, the Sierra 1500 is one of the quickest-accelerating full-size trucks on the market. The brakes are quite predictable and easy to modulate. Stopping distance is about average for this truck segment. The Sierra 1500 features an automatic switch to four-cylinder mode, and this change is virtually imperceptible. The V8 engines coupled to the eight-speed transmission means no hunting around for the right gear, so shifting is very smooth.
This is the truck of choice for those who need a work vehicle that offers long-lasting durability and reliability. The GMC Sierra 1500 with 2WD is sure to please in more ways than one.

A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash. If you decide to use the manufacturer’s low interest financing, you do not usually get the rebate. Ask your dealer for details.
