GMC has officially revealed the next-generation 2027 GMC Sierra 1500, and truck buyers in Winston-Salem, NC, have plenty of reasons to get excited. This is a complete redesign of one of the most recognized pickups on the market, set to arrive at Flow Buick GMC of Winston-Salem in late 2026. If you are in the market for a capable and well-built truck, here is what to expect from the entirely updated GMC Sierra 1500. Completely Updated Powertrains The 2027 GMC Sierra 1500 brings serious performance upgrades with two all-new sixth-generation Small Block V8 engines. The new 5.7L V8 replaces the previous 5.3L option, while a massive 6.6L V8 replaces the outgoing 6.2L motor. The 6.6L V8 produces an impressive 481 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque. The enhanced 2.7L TurboMax and the class-exclusive 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel also return to the lineup. All four GMC Sierra 1500 engine options are paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. A Massive Leap in Cabin Technology The new GMC Sierra 1500 interior is built around a class-leading triple-screen layout. Every trim features a 16.3" articulating center touchscreen with hidden storage and a 12.2" digital driver display. Higher trims offer an 11.5" front passenger screen and a 15" Head-Up Display. These displays integrate seamlessly with Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto© for top-tier connectivity. A new MultiPro center console also folds flat to create a stable workstation for added convenience on the job. Enhanced Trim Lineup and Off-Road Capability GMC has refined the trim lineup for 2027 by dropping the SLE and SLT models. The six available trims are the Sierra 1500 Pro, Elevation, AT4, Denali, AT4X, and Denali Ultimate. The AT4X takes off-road performance to an entirely new level with 35" Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, Multimatic Jounce Control Dampers, and front and rear e-locking differentials.
