GMC makes a reversing camera and infotainment system standard across the 2018 Sierra 1500 lineup to help it compete with the recently announced 2019 version. GMC’s IntelliLink infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and allows multiple radio channels and smartphone music apps to be setup as separate, easily available presets. Denali trims get heated and ventilated leather front seats and a center console lid with a wireless charging pad.

The Sierra 1500 offers three engines in four powertrains. A 4.3-liter V6 produces 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque using a 6-speed automatic. A 5.3-liter V8 delivers 355 hp and 383 lb-ft through a standard 6-speed or optional 8-speed automatic, and it can be set up as an eAssist mild hybrid with the same power and improved mileage. The powerhouse is a 6.2-liter V8 that uses the 8-speed automatic to make 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. Capacities range up to 12,500 pounds for towing and 2,250 pounds of payload.

With a new truck just around the corner, GMC keeps the Sierra 1500 relevant for 2018 with more standard content and safety features.

Once upon a time trucks were simply instruments of work. They were defined only by their utility and sheer size. But times have changed, and as trucks have become family-hauling vehicles, automakers have endeavored to include more creature comforts in these large vehicles. Heated seats, remote start, and navigation are all common on modern pickups.

Then there are the luxury trucks. These vehicles have leather seating and automatically extending running boards and many seldom get dirty. Trucks like the Ram 1500 Limited and Ford F-150 Limited and King Ranch all encapsulate this upscale pickup concept. Every year, they get more expensive and more lavish—and people keep buying them! But if you are looking for patient zero of the luxury-truck trend, look no further than the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali.

The Sierra 1500 is about to be redesigned for 2019, with many new innovations. So what is GMC offering in the current truck to make you consider it over the forthcoming 2019 version? Most notably, GMC sweetens the pot by making the reversing camera and the previously optional infotainment system standard equipment.
