A 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 tackling rocky terrain in Bryant, AR

The GMC Sierra has built a reputation as one of America’s favorites, hardest-working full-size pickups, with purpose-focused power, rugged traditional truck styling, and an impressive list of standard features that enhance the driving experience. The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is sure to excite a new generation of truck owners with its versatile powertrain options, integrated modern technology, and enhanced capabilities.  

Four Potent Powertrain Options Built to Suit Any Purpose

There are multiple powertrain options available in the Sierra 1500, and each has its strengths. For example, drivers seeking a strong but efficient full-size pickup may choose the standard TurboMax engine, an innovative powerplant that produces 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque while maintaining estimated fuel mileage of 17 MPG in the city and 19 MPG on the highway. The TurboMax is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

There’s an optional 355-horsepower 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 that creates 383 foot-pounds of torque and a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 that produces 460 foot-pounds of torque. Diesel enthusiasts can opt for the available 3.0-liter DuraMax Turbo Diesel that delivers 305 horsepower and 495 foot-pounds of torque. The latter three engines are matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and there are both RWD and 4WD drivetrain options.

Impressive Capabilities for Tackling Tough Tasks

Full-size half-ton pickups are marvels of utility, able to carry payload in the cargo bed and tow heavier loads, and the Sierra 1500 has outstanding payload and towing capabilities. The 6.5-foot cargo bed offers 71.7 cubic feet of available cargo space, and it can carry up to 2,530 pounds when properly equipped.

The towing capacity of the Sierra is equally impressive. With the proper equipment and features, the Sierra 1500 can pull up to 13,300 pounds of materials and equipment using the available trailering package. Other optional features, such as hitch view, an in-vehicle trailering app, an HD rear vision camera, and hitch guidance, help simplify trailering so you can move more payload for both work and play.

Intelligent Integrated Technology Keeps Drivers Safe and Connected

The Sierra 1500 is a strong, capable truck, but it also incorporates modern technology that protects drivers, keeps them focused, and maintains connection no matter where the road may lead. The infotainment features found in the Sierra include a 6-speaker audio system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 3.5-inch driver information center, and the GMC Infotainment System with a 7-inch color touchscreen.

The Sierra 1500 earned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s coveted 5-star overall safety rating due to the assortment of standard safety and driver assistance features included. Those features include a forward collision alert, lane keep assist, following distance indicator, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, lane change alert, and pedestrian front braking.
