Used 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 for Sale nearThunder Bay, ON

How much does the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 17.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,645 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 earns a 4.64/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Performance, Form and function, and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the powerful engine choices, comfortable and spacious interior, and well-equipped features. The design and luxury feel also come through strongly, with many shoppers appreciating the upscale styling compared with rivals. On the other hand, some owners mention infotainment frustrations and concerns tied to emissions controls.

It fits especially well if you want one truck that can work as a basic hauler, an off-roader, or a long-distance cruiser. That broad appeal is a major strength, but the trade-off is that value for money is described as poor and not every advanced safety feature comes standard.

With 35.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still enough market activity to find a competitive example.

Is the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.64/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to a truck that feels dependable in daily use, with praise for its powerful engine, comfortable cabin, and well-equipped features. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the truck’s ability to feel solid and capable over time, which is encouraging if you want something you can count on.

The diesel powertrain is described as smooth, linear, and well suited to towing, while the 10-speed automatic is said to shift smoothly and quickly in most situations. That combination suggests a strong mechanical foundation for used buyers who plan to keep the truck for the long haul.

If you are shopping used, the main ownership risk is that infotainment complaints and emissions-related concerns could affect satisfaction over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 GMC Sierra 1500?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from Pro to Denali Ultimate, with the base Pro aimed at commercial fleets and the higher trims adding more luxury and off-road focus. The Pro is the most basic version, with a black grille and painted 17-inch wheels, while Denali and Denali Ultimate bring the signature chrome grille, available 22-inch wheels, and power running boards. If you want the most upscale feel, the Denali and Denali Ultimate are the trims to compare most closely.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a 2.7-litre TurboMax four-cylinder, 5.3-litre V8, 6.2-litre V8, or 3.0-litre Duramax turbodiesel inline-six. The diesel stands out for its torque and fuel economy, while the V8s bring stronger traditional truck power and the 2.7-litre engine is the entry point.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and a rear-seat reminder. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, park assist, and the Safety Alert driver’s seat are optional. Super Cruise is available on Denali and Denali Ultimate models.
• Infotainment: Base Pro models use a 7-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. SLE and higher trims get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.4-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Google Built-In.
• Fuel efficiency: The Duramax diesel is rated at 9.2 L/100 km combined with RWD and 9.6 L/100 km combined with 4WD. The TurboMax four-cylinder can achieve 12 L/100 km combined in some configurations, while the two V8 engines land in the 14 to 16 L/100 km range.

Which 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is offered in 8 trim levels: Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• Pro: This is the work-focused starting point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest entry price and do not need much luxury equipment. It is also the trim with the most basic infotainment setup, so it suits buyers who care more about utility than features.
• SLE: This is the first trim that brings the larger 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 13.4-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration and Google Built-In. It is the best-value choice if you want the modern tech experience without jumping into the pricier luxury trims.
• Elevation: This trim builds on the SLE’s tech and adds a more distinctive appearance, making it a good middle ground if you want a cleaner, more upscale look without going all the way to premium territory.
• SLT: This is the trim to consider if you want a more comfort-oriented truck with a stronger upscale lean. It sits in the sweet spot for buyers who want more refinement and equipment without paying Denali money.
• AT4: This is the off-road-focused choice, with a 5-centimetre lift kit, Rancho monotube shocks, a locking rear differential, and skid plates. It is also the trim where the Duramax diesel becomes standard for 2024.
• AT4X: This is the more serious off-road version, adding a front locker and Multimatic DSSV dampers. Choose it if you want the most capable trail-oriented setup in the lineup.
• Denali: This is the luxury trim that defines the Sierra’s upscale image, with the chrome grille, available 22-inch wheels, and power running boards. It is the right pick if you want premium presentation and comfort features.
• Denali Ultimate: This is the top luxury trim and the one to buy if you want the most fully equipped Sierra 1500. It is the best fit for shoppers who want the most comfort, the most technology, and the strongest premium feel.

The safety package is broad, but some advanced driver-assistance features remain optional rather than standard, especially on lower trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 GMC Sierra 1500?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough price movement to create opportunities.

• Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,645 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.69% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $55,473 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500's resale value?

The current average of $55,473 CAD sits slightly below last year's $67,393 CAD.

That drop suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may face more price pressure if the trend continues. If you buy at the right number now, you may have less downside risk than someone who paid closer to last year’s average. The truck’s broad appeal and strong feature set should help support demand, especially for well-equipped trims.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.64/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 safe?

The 2024 Sierra 1500 received a Good score in the IIHS driver-side small overlap front crash test, but a Marginal score in the passenger-side version, and an Acceptable score in the updated side crash test. It also earned five-star ratings in side-crash protection from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in rollover and frontal crash testing.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and a rear-seat reminder. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, park assist, and the Safety Alert driver’s seat are optional.

Super Cruise is available on Denali and Denali Ultimate models, and it remains one of the strongest hands-free systems in the segment. The main caveat is that some advanced safety features are not standard, and the uneven IIHS results mean you should pay close attention to trim and equipment level.

Should I buy a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 brings a broad trim range, strong tech, and a fuel-efficient diesel option.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $50,091 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $55,473 CAD average.
• It leans especially hard into luxury with the Denali Ultimate trim.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing, strong owner satisfaction, and a wide range of trims and powertrains, the 2024 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front and you still want the Sierra’s luxury-first personality, the 2023 is the more price-sensitive alternative.
