I'm curious to know what GMC has done with regards to comfort and luxury features in their lower trim levels. It seems like every year they're bumping up the price on mid-range trims to get closer to full-on Denali pricing, but are they actually delivering? I've noticed some nice updates in my own truck - heated seats, a decent touchscreen, and whatnot - but is that standard across all models or just certain ones?
I'm thinking of picking up a Sierra 1500 (or possibly an Acadia or Terrain) soon, and one thing that's been on my mind is how the lower trims hold up in terms of features. Do you guys have any experience with GMCs in this regard? Are there any hidden gems or compromises to be made when opting for a lower trim?

I've owned my Sierra Elevation for a few months now and I have to say, I'm impressed with how much comfort and luxury features GMC has managed to pack into the lower trim levels. From the premium cloth seats to the 7-inch touchscreen display, it's clear that GMC is serious about making their trucks feel like true drivers' cars.
One of the things that really surprised me was just how quiet the cabin is on the highway - I've been in some other trucks where the constant rumble of the engine and road noise is a real issue, but not with my Sierra. The Elevation trim also comes with some nice features like remote start and keyless entry, which make it easy to get comfortable and settled before hitting the road.
Of course, there are still some areas where GMC could improve - I wish they'd offer more advanced safety features in the lower trims, for example. But overall, I'm really happy with my Sierra Elevation and feel like I got a great value for the price.
