Here Are The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Payload Capacities

Ushering in the sixth model year of Big Red’s fourth-generation pickup, the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 brings in several changes and updates compared to the 2023 model year. Now, GM Authority is putting the current Sierra 1500 payload capacities in the spotlight.

Before digging into the details, here’s an overview of the engine choices offered on the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The four available powerplants consist of the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline TurboMax engine developing 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine cranking out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine providing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine developing 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque.

Turning to cog swaps, the GM eight-speed automatic transmission is paired with the base L3B engine only, while the GM 10-speed automatic transmission is equipped with the other three powerplants.

The lowest Sierra 1500 payload rating is 1,350 pounds, hauled by the Crew Cab, Short Bed AT4X trim with a 4WD drivetrain and the naturally aspirated V8 L87 engine. These figures are slightly different from the 2023 model year.

As a reminder, GM Authority has previously covered towing capacities for the 2024 Sierra 1500 as well.

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 uses the GM T1 platform for structure under the skin, a platform it shares with its corporate twin the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500. Start of regular production for the 2024 pickup occurred in July 2023, with the vehicle rolling off the assembly line both at the GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana and the GM Silao plant in Mexico.
