The battle in the lucrative half-ton pickup class culminated with the recent arrivals of the all-new Ram and General Motors models. The redesigned trucks arrived with more sophistication and better performance and there are also more versions to choose from than ever.

The recently redesigned, light-duty GMC Sierra 1500 is also more refined than ever and can take different forms depending on the trim level.  The Denali trim is again signature of the brand but the half-ton Sierra can also perform well off-road while providing a high-level of sophistication inside and out.  The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 will equip most of the high-end comfort and tech features but will also add off-road enhancements.

The fourth generation Sierra 1500 arrived with the redesigned underpinning and redefined exterior styling but the model also lost some pounds in the process despite it is larger than ever.

The styling of the model hasn’t actually changed much in shape and the half-ton Sierra has kept the defined edges and squared-off shapes while introduced the redesigned styling elements combined with the weight-saving measurements. The models have more dynamic grille shape and new, sharp-looking LED headlights. The innovative multi-configurable tailgate and cargo fiber cargo bed are also unique in the class.

The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 will benefit from all mentioned adding also some distinguished elements in its appearance. For the off-road purpose, obvious will be a 2-inch suspension lift and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels with the all-terrain tires. Buyers will also have a chance to pick the larger 20-inch wheels.

The Sierra AT4 will also get special treatment and be recognizable thanks to the attractive monochromatic exterior style combined with the unique, radiator grille finished in the black chrome.  High intensity LED headlight will also light the road ahead while also looking attractive thanks to the C-shaped elements.

The appropriate badging will also reveal the model’s identity while it will also have a dual exhaust setup.
