2020 GMC Sierra 1500 review

1. Good looks

The 2020 GMC Sierra, with its muscular body panels, bold grille, and unique C-shaped headlight housings, provides an exciting ride that's as practical as it is stylish. The grade-topping Denali bundles big 20-inch alloy wheels, as well, making the 2020 GMC Sierra an undeniably good-looking ride.

2. Flexible storage

A GMC exclusive, the MultiPro tailgate (AT4 trim) does more than just keep things from sliding out of the bed. Among its six functions are an extension feature to fit longer items like surfboards, a flip-down outer door to allow easier access to bed contents, and the ability to act as a full-width step for easy ingress and egress. On the SLT trim and above, the ProGrade Trailering System provides a total of 15 camera views.

3. Well appointed

The 2020 GMC Sierra is proof that a pickup can be as comfortable as it is practical. Optional on the SLT and standard on the ATR and above, the front occupants will enjoy heated and ventilated front seating, and the back seats heat up too. Similarly, the steering wheel in SLT and above trims has a hand-warming function.

4. Built-in entertainment

There's no excuse to be bored when you have some downtime in the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, whether on the worksite or out camping. A seven-inch touchscreen display, powered by the GMC infotainment system, is standard equipment, but move up to an SLT or beyond, and the monitor grows to eight inches. New for 2020 is the available ability to stream SiriusXM satellite radio with a subscription.

5. An engine for everyone

Boasting an impressive choice between four different engines and three different transmissions, there's a GMC Sierra 1500 for every buyer. Certain powertrains like the 3.0L motor mated to the efficient 10-speed automatic transmission yields an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined.
