2026 GMC Sierra 1500 at Legacy GMC of Waxahachie
The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 returns with eight distinct trims, four engine options, and the professional-grade capability Waxahachie families and professionals depend on. Whether you need a work-ready pickup for job sites near Midlothian or a refined daily driver for commutes through DeSoto and Arlington, the Sierra 1500 lineup covers every need — from the $38,300 Pro to the $84,200 Denali Ultimate.
Four Engines Built for Every Job
The Sierra 1500 offers a powertrain for every driving style, from a fuel-efficient turbocharged four-cylinder to a torque-rich diesel and two proven V8 options. Rear-wheel drive is standard across most trims, with four-wheel drive available or standard depending on configuration.

Capability That Keeps Up
Properly equipped, the Sierra 1500 tows up to 13,300 pounds — enough to haul boats to Joe Pool Lake or trailers to job sites across Ellis County. Maximum payload reaches 2,240 pounds, and the available GMC MultiPro Tailgate adds six functional positions that transform the bed into a step, work surface, or load stop. Three cab configurations (Regular, Double, and Crew Cab) and three bed lengths provide the flexibility to match the truck to the task.
Technology and Safety
Starting at the SLE trim, the Sierra features a 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch multicolor Driver Information Center. The available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology — standard on the Denali Ultimate and available on the Denali — supports hands-free highway driving on compatible roads.
Every Sierra 1500 includes the GMC Pro Safety suite with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, and Front Pedestrian Braking. The truck has earned a 5-star overall safety rating from NHTSA.
