Introducing the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is part of the fifth generation, which started in 2019. It comes in a variety of trims, starting with the base Pro version and ending with the Denali Ultimate, which the brand states is the most advanced Sierra yet, featuring over 40 inches of digital displays and the available Super Cruise. In addition to multiple trim levels, you also have the choice of four different engine options, with the base engine delivering a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder. You’ll also find V8 engine options and a diesel engine that gives you a towing capacity of up to 13,300 lbs when properly equipped. And yet, those things aren’t what we love most about the Sierra 1500; however, they certainly get a thumbs up. For the things we truly love, keep reading.

Super Cruise and Other Must-Have Tech

It’s hard to ignore that technology has edged its way into every fiber of our lives, including in the vehicles we drive. For the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, you’ll find plenty of tech features that keep you and your passengers connected, as well as improve towing and get you where you need to be with ease. The first feature to explore is Super Cruise.

Super Cruise is a hands-free driving system that is compatible with more than 400,000 miles of roads in the United States and Canada. As mentioned, it’s available for the Denali Ultimate trim as well as the Denali trim, which is just a step down from the Ultimate. With Super Cruise, you also get advanced driver assistance features, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and a Driver Attention System that ensures your eyes are still on the road even if your hands aren’t on the steering wheel. Additionally, Super Cruise is compatible with Google Maps and displayed prominently on the 13.4-inch GMC Infotainment System. That same system also gives you access to Google built-in, streamlining all your digital devices and putting your favorite apps at your fingertips.

Beyond Super Cruise, you’ll also enjoy many other technological advancements when choosing the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. For instance, in addition to the available 13.4-inch GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in compatibility, there’s also an available 12.3-inch Digital Driver Information Center to go along with it. Also, you can navigate better than ever before—which is perfect when navigating your way home after a night at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre—thanks to the available 14 camera views. Even better, you can access Google Play, Apple Music, and more while waiting for the kids to get out of school.

Finally, technology meets towing, giving you exceptional support whether you’re towing the boat to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area or loading up the ATVs for off-roading fun. With the Prograde Trailering System, available on the SLT trim, you gain five custom trailer profiles, step-by-step pre-departure checklists, a trailer load calculator, and more. Combine these features with Hitch Guidance and Hitch View, and you’re ready to go.

A Versatile Tailgate and Truck Bed

Trucks and functionality should go hand in hand, but that’s not always the case. It rings true for the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, however, especially when you take a look at the available MultiPro Tailgate. This tailgate has six functions, letting you load and unload cargo thanks to better bed access, haul longer cargo than normal, keep cargo from sliding out, and more. You can also kick things up a notch with the available integrated MultiPro Audio System by KICKER.

Additionally, the available CarbonPro Composite Bed is an industry first, providing your truck bed with the ultimate protection against dents, scratches, and corrosion. Plus, the design of the bed gives you best-in-class cargo volume, which is significant if you consistently use your truck bed to move things from one place to another.

A Comprehensive Set of Standard Safety Features

Safety hasn’t always been a priority in the truck industry, but as more people are using their trucks as their everyday vehicles, there has been a harder push to include more features than ever before. For the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, you’ll find a long list of driver assistance features, including Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, just to name a few.

There’s also a standard HD Rear Vision Camera, which gives you a clear view of the space behind your vehicle, making parking, hitching a trailer, and reversing easier, as well as the available HD Surround Vision, which offers selectable camera views and guidelines that show you where you’re truck is headed. Another safety feature we love is the standard Rear Seat Reminder. This feature activates when the rear doors are opened and closed up to ten minutes before or while your Sierra 1500 is on. The goal is to remind you to check the backseat to ensure nothing or no one is left behind.

Last but not least, all GMC Sierra 1500 trucks are OnStar and GM Connected Services capable. This subscription-based service gives you an extra layer of safety, including automatic crash response and emergency assistance. You can find information about OnStar online or talk with a member of our team. Each of these safety features gives you the confidence you need to tackle your morning drive along Georgia 400 or head downtown to grab a bite to eat.
