2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1: Enhanced Range, Towing, and Affordability

The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1, GMC’s flagship battery-powered truck, has received exciting upgrades in both range and towing capacity ahead of this summer’s deliveries.


Extended Range: GMC now estimates that the top-trim Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 can travel up to 440 miles on a full charge. This represents a significant improvement of 40 miles over the initial estimate. Whether you’re embarking on a long road trip or navigating daily commutes, the extended range ensures peace of mind.

Enhanced Towing Power: The Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 can confidently tow up to 10,000 pounds, an increase of 500 pounds compared to its previous capacity. Whether you’re hauling a trailer, boat, or other heavy loads, this enhanced capability makes the Sierra EV a versatile workhorse.

Payload Capacity: The maximum payload capacity has also been raised by 150 pounds, bringing it to a total of 1,450 pounds. Whether you’re loading up tools, equipment, or supplies, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 can handle the job.

Price Adjustment: Despite the performance enhancements, GMC has managed to reduce the price of the fully loaded electric Sierra EV. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is now $99,495, including the destination charge. This reflects a substantial reduction of $9,200.

Comparable Changes: These updates mirror those applied to the Sierra EV’s Chevrolet counterpart, the Silverado EV in top RST trim. The Silverado EV also received a range boost and a price cut of $10,000 compared to its initial specifications. Both GM-made electric pickups are poised to hit the roads this summer.

Other Contenders: The Rivian R1T Dual-Motor, equipped with the Max Pack battery, can travel up to 410 miles, while the GMC Hummer EV 3X offers an estimated maximum range of 381 miles. Tesla’s Cybertruck AWD, on the other hand, has a manufacturer-estimated range of 340 miles.

The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 emerges as a compelling blend of performance, luxury, and practicality in the electric truck market. With its extended range, enhanced towing capabilities, and attractive pricing, it promises to leave a lasting impression on both enthusiasts and everyday drivers. As the automotive industry continues its electrification journey, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 stands tall as a testament to GMC’s commitment to innovation and excellence.

Whether you’re navigating city streets or venturing off-road, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 delivers power, comfort, and sophistication. As the summer deliveries approach, anticipation builds for this top-tier battery-powered truck, ready to redefine expectations and elevate the driving experience.
