How much does the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 8.54% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,387 listings available, which suggests you have a solid number of options to compare.

Is the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 a good car?

Generally — the 4.25/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction for this model year. Owners commonly praise its comfort, features, and smooth ride, and many also like the Denali trim’s more upscale feel and the truck’s thoughtful design. It can make sense if you want a full-size pickup that feels more refined than a basic work truck while still serving job-site or everyday use. With 28.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.25/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to dependable day-to-day comfort and a truck that many drivers feel good about living with over time. At the same time, some owners mention air conditioning and transmission concerns, so reliability is not something you should assume without checking the specific truck’s history. For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk is manageable only if you verify maintenance and condition carefully.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 GMC Sierra 1500?

At 64.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, especially if the truck has had multiple owners or a higher-mileage life. Put inspection priority on the transmission, air conditioning, and overall mechanical condition, since those are the areas owners have flagged most often. You should also focus on how the truck was used, because work-truck wear and tear can matter as much as mileage.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 GMC Sierra 1500?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right truck.

• Deal availability: 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,387 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.54% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,613, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500's resale value?

The current average of $20,755 sits slightly below last year's $22,693.

That softer pricing suggests the truck has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if the market stabilizes. If you buy well now and keep the truck in strong condition, you may be better positioned than someone who paid closer to the prior-year average. Demand should also stay supported by the model’s comfort and feature appeal, especially among shoppers who want a more upscale full-size pickup.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.25/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.54% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.25/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $19,150, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $20,755 average.
• It offers a smart cabin and a mature exterior with practical, well-rounded appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced shopping opportunity, the 2016 is the stronger primary target because pricing has eased and owner satisfaction is solid. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2015 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one with a clean history and strong maintenance records.
