What are some key details to know about how GMC describes packages and options?
General Motors Truck Company, also known as GMC, is a division of the automaker, General Motors (GM) that builds the mainstream brand Chevrolet, and luxury brand Buick found at joint GM dealers. GM vehicles have a reputation for possessing a reliable build quality and design. GMC currently offers a range of vehicles; SUVs, trucks, and utility vans, that are of a more premium standard when compared to the mechanically identical (i.e. GMC Sierra vs Chevrolet Silverado) sister automaker, Chevy (Chevrolet).
On average, a GMC vehicle has four different trim levels (a version of a vehicle model equipped with a fixed combination of features) you can pick from. Ultimately, the number of trims depends on the vehicle model. Features such as AWD and 4WD, or extended cab and crew cab are independent of the trims and are chosen before selecting a trim.
For example, the 2021 Yukon is sold with two types of drivetrains, AWD, and 4WD. Once the desired drivetrain is selected, the GMC Yukon can be outfitted with one of four trims:
Yukon SLE
Yukon SLT
Yukon AT4
Yukon Denali
The GMC Yukon SLE trim is the entry-level model and offers basic standard features. You can upgrade the trim level to get more premium features, but expect to pay more for the additional options. With each increasing tier, the vehicle to be equipped with most of the standard features from the preceding tier, in addition to other premium features.

What does the window sticker not provide?
Window stickers are most accurate when the vehicle is first manufactured. A Monroney label details the equipment and features a vehicle has immediately post-production. As such, the decals won't reflect any mods (modifications) made by the dealer or other third-party owners -- nor will it detail components that have been repaired or replaced.
A car window sticker does not provide the vehicle’s current condition or history, regardless of if the vehicle was purchased from a GMC dealership, CPO (certified pre-owned program), or a private seller. That information can be obtained through using services such as Carfax, Autocheck, or having a certified professional perform an inspection.
Finally, the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) will not reflect the vehicle’s current value because natural wear and depreciation are not taken into account when originally priced. Even though the decal sticker shows a particular MSRP, the vehicle may sell for less when considering applicable negotiations and discounts.
When does this Free GMC Window Sticker Tool or VIN decoder not work?
At this time, the window sticker tool by WithCluth only supports vehicles which are 2013 Model Year and newer. In addition, there may be other limitations preventing you from using the sticker tool:
The VIN does not meet the 17 character requirement (applies to vehicles model year 1981 and older)
The VIN cannot be validated by certified techniques:
Checksum: The 9th digit of the VIN number (limited to numbers 0-9 or the letter X) of US and Canadian vehicles is used in an algorithm to determine its validity
Illegal character check: VINs can include any alphanumeric character except the letters I, O, and Q
Your vehicle is too new and has not been updated in the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) database
