How much does the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 9.39% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,137 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 a good car?

Generally — the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 earns a 4.4/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its great features, luxurious feel, stylish design, and comfort. The overview also points to a truck that was completely redesigned, bigger, more capable, and more useful than before, which fits buyers who want a more polished full-size pickup for everyday use. Even so, the market still reflects a selective buyer’s environment, with 32.8% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a truck that many owners find solid and dependable over time, with praise for its overall quality and performance. The expert review also describes the Sierra as improved in every way, which supports the idea that it was engineered to be a more capable long-term pickup. GMC’s maintenance and ownership messaging also emphasizes the truck’s modern, durable design and sophisticated engineering.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that some owners have raised concerns about transmission issues, so a careful test drive and service-history review matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 GMC Sierra 1500?

At 69.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has higher mileage, because condition can vary widely across full-size pickups. It also helps to focus on how the truck drives, shifts, and brakes, since those are the areas most likely to reveal hidden wear.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Base, SLE, SLT, Denali, Elevation, and AT4 are all explicitly named, and the base truck is the most stripped-down version. The content also notes that the Denali adds premium leather, open-pore wood trim, and real aluminum accents, while the Elevation adds a customized look and the AT4 is the off-roading model.
• Powertrain: The Sierra offers multiple drivetrains, including an optional 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, plus a 10-speed automatic and Autotrac 4WD on the test truck. The review also notes Dynamic Fuel Management and an EPA estimate of 17 mpg in combined driving for that setup.
• Safety package: Driver Alert Package 1 adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors. Driver Alert Package 2 adds forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights, but adaptive cruise control, full-speed-range automatic braking, and lane-centering assist are not included.
• Infotainment: All Sierras include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus GMC Connected Services through OnStar and a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. The loaded test truck also had an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, a Bose premium sound system, and a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The test truck’s EPA estimate is 17 mpg in combined driving, and the review says it averaged 15.4 mpg on the test loop and improved to 16.3 mpg over a week.

Which 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is offered in 6 trim levels: Base, SLE, SLT, Denali, Elevation, and AT4.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the Sierra’s redesign and core capability at the lowest starting price. It is the least expensive path into the lineup, but the content makes clear that higher trims add much of the polish and luxury appeal.
• SLE: This is the practical step up if you want a better balance of everyday usability and equipment without jumping straight to luxury pricing. It also serves as the foundation for the Elevation, which adds a customized look.
• SLT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and unlocks more of the Sierra’s comfort and technology appeal. It also can be equipped with the optional Driver Alert Package 2.
• Elevation: This is the style-focused choice if you want the SLE’s basics with a more customized appearance. It is a good fit if looks matter more to you than maximum luxury content.
• AT4: This is the off-roading model, so it makes the most sense if you want a more rugged personality and the capability-oriented character described in the review. It also can be equipped with the optional Driver Alert Package 2.
• Denali: This is the luxury pick, with premium leather, open-pore wood trim, and real aluminum accents. It is the right choice if you want the most upscale Sierra experience and don’t mind paying for it.

Driver Alert Package 2 is optional on the SLT, AT4, and Denali.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 GMC Sierra 1500?

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you have room to shop carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,137 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.39% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 69.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $30,554, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500's resale value?

The current average of $30,554 sits slightly below last year's $33,720.

That softer pricing suggests the Sierra has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you shop carefully now, you may reduce the amount of value lost over your ownership period. The truck’s broad appeal, upscale image, and strong owner satisfaction should help support demand when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 safe?

The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 does not have published crash-test ratings in the source data.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every version of the Sierra includes or can be fitted with Driver Alert Package 1, which adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors. Driver Alert Package 2, available on the SLT, AT4, and Denali, adds forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.

The main caveat is that adaptive cruise control, full-speed-range automatic braking, and lane-centering assist are not offered. That means you get a useful safety suite, but not the most advanced driver-assistance coverage some shoppers may expect.

Should I buy a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 69.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.39% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned 2019 Sierra is bigger, more capable, and more useful than before.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $25,650, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $30,554 average.
• It adds standard reversing camera and infotainment equipment.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $32,289, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $30,554 average.
• It adds more utility-minded features and a more SUV-like comfort focus.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned truck and can find a clean example at a fair price, the 2019 is the stronger primary choice. If your budget is tighter, the 2018 is the better value path, while the 2020 makes sense if you want to spend more for added refinement and utility.

How does the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 compare to the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Our experts score the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 8/10 and the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 7.3/10. The Sierra is the more polished and better-rated truck overall, while the Silverado brings a lower average used price and more listings to shop from. Both trucks share the same starting engine, but the Sierra’s stronger expert score and slightly better deal share make it the more appealing pick if you want the better-rounded used buy.
