Head-Turning Deals
A plethora of GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks is being sold with a hefty discount of over $10,000, bringing the price down to around $30,000, putting them on par with smaller trucks like the Ford Maverick. These heavily discounted vehicles can be found in online inventories from various dealerships.
One instance is the Alabama-based Howard BentleyBuick GMC, which shows that several base Sierra 1500 Pro units — listed with an MSRP of $40,190 — are available with a dealer discount of $13,455, cutting the price to $26,735. However, it is worth noting that the discount includes $3,500 in trade assistance, which is only available to buyers who trade in a vehicle.
The Autopian asked Howard Bentley Buick GMC about the discounts and learned that GMC dealers are clearing their inventory ahead of the all-new 2027 model-year redesign.
What the New Sierra May Offer
Details regarding the next-generation model remain scarce. However, the new truck is expected to feature a familiar design, including a squared-off front fascia that gives it an assertive stance. The headlights may sit lower, with the taillights mirroring a C-shaped layout. The interior is also expected to see updates, including a revised dashboard design with a more integrated screen.
The biggest update could be under the hood, with reports suggesting the GMC truck could adopt a hybridized powertrain. That, if true, would make the Sierra — along with its platform sibling, the Silverado — electrified like its full-size rivals, the Toyota Tundra and Ford F-150. There could also be a new sixth-generation small-block V8, likely to replace the current L87 V8, which has been the subject of lawsuits over an oiling-related remedy that some owners believe is insufficient.
The Discount Window
While more details are expected in the coming months, buyers can take advantage of the massive dealer discounts on various current-generation Sierras. Note that the aforementioned Sierras in the $30,000 range are bare-bones models, meaning they come in a regular-cab configuration and are powered by a 2.7-liter TurboMax inline-4 producing around 310 horsepower.
For a fully loaded truck, the top-of-the-line Sierra Denali Ultimate is also being offered with similar discounts, lowering its price to around the $75,000 range.
Howard Bentley Buick GMC noted that the dealer discount is available only until March 15, though interested customers are encouraged to check with their local GMC dealers for comparable deals. However, given that the next-generation model is just around the corner, this likely won’t be the last wave of discounts.
