What GMC Sierra 1500 do most buyers choose?

The GMC Sierra 1500 years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also tend to attract shoppers who want newer features without moving all the way to the newest model year.

What is the GMC Sierra 1500's resale value?

Most model years are down by a double-digit or near-double-digit amount, which creates better opportunities for used buyers shopping recent trucks. The steepest drops are concentrated in the newest years, while older examples are falling more slowly. That pattern suggests you can often get more truck for the money by looking a few years back instead of chasing the newest used examples.

The 2014, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• Starting price: Pricing starts at $39,595 for a base Pro model with RWD and no frills.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
