2024 GMC Sierra 1500 vs. 2500: Starting MSRPs

Can’t decide whether the latest GMC Sierra 1500 or 2500 is right for your commute? Then, you’ll want to take the sticker prices of both models into consideration. The entry-level 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 boasts a lower starting price and eight configurations to choose from. Although the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 only offers five configurations at a slightly higher starting price, you’ll find that the improved performance specs more than make up for the discrepancy. Nevertheless, we encourage you to compare the starting MSRPs of both entry-level trim levels and decide for yourself:

  • 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Pro: $37,700 Starting MSRP
  • 2024 GMC Sierra HD Pro: $45,400 Starting MSRP
