Video Summary
The 2026 GMC Sierra EV Elevation is reviewed. It's the base model in the expanded Sierra EV truck lineup, priced at around $62,500 before destination charges and about $64,500 with them.The truck has optional features like upgraded wheels and a bed rack with a tent. It features a all-wheel-drive 4x4 system and produces 645 horsepower.
The wheel wells are lined for road noise reduction. The base model is equipped with standard batteries; the extended range is an option.
Although this truck has a radiator, it also has accessories for charging when on the road. It can fast charge up to 350kW.
It has a mid-gate for longer items, but opening it increases wind buffeting if it has a soft tonneau cover, leading to recommending a hard tonneau cover.
The glass in the mid-gate is removable for an even more open space.
The steering wheel and dashboard have Google-built-in systems including navigation, but there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It handles a 2,250-pound payload and can tow 12,500 pounds, comparable to a 6.2-liter V8 Sierra 1500. All trims offer 350kW DC fast-charging.
It’s also important to remember that as you add accessories you sacrifice some of its payload and towing.
