It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look.

The quick hits:
SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation".
Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet.
The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic.
AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers.
Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen.
Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.
So let's get into it:
New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for?
Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake?
That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability?
Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance?
What trim are you putting your name down for on day one?

My overnight hospital stay turned into five. I developed a post operative fever and an erratic heart rate. A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit. This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied. I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care. All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people. It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care! My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible. If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice isn't as strong as it once was!
You already know what I think about spacers but I will say those wheels do look great on your truck. Either way, I hope you find an outcome you’re happy with.
