5 Reasons Drivers Love the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500
1. There’s an Engine for Everyone
The multiple engine options make the Sierra 1500 a highly configurable truck. Its base engine is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder TurboMax with a horsepower output of 310 and a torque output of 430 lb-ft. The available engines are a 3-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engine, a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine, and a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine. With all these options, drivers with different preferences and needs can configure the truck to suit them.
2. There’s Enough Strength for Towing
As there are several ways to configure this truck, its towing capacity varies between models. However, every model has a high towing capacity, and the maximum hauling capacity of any model is 13,200 pounds. People interested in driving a Sierra 1500 with the highest towing capacity should get a Double Cab model with 2WD, the Max Trailering Package, the 3-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engine, and the available 20-inch tires and wheels.
3. There’s Plenty of Safety Technology
Keeping yourself and your family safe is easy in the Sierra 1500, as it has an array of standard and available driver assistance features. The available features help alert you of potential forward collisions, can automatically engage the brakes in an emergency, and help you stay in your lane and avoid accidentally drifting out of it.
Additional features include those that help you keep track of traffic behind you while you’re reversing and stay aware of what’s in your blind zone while you’re towing. Super Cruise is also available, letting you safely take your hands off the wheel on over 200,000 miles of roads as long as you’re paying attention to the road while the feature is in use.
4. There Are Lots of Entertainment Features
The vehicle comes with a 7 or 13.4-inch infotainment screen packed with features. It wirelessly connects to modern smartphones and lets you enjoy streaming content from apps on your phone. Apps you can stream content from include podcast apps, audiobook apps, and music streaming services. There’s also a 3-year trial of SiriusXM available with every model.
5. There Are Ways to Stay in Touch
When your smartphone is connected to your vehicle’s infotainment system, you can use voice commands to access communication features. Making and receiving phone calls, sending and receiving text messages, and listening to your voicemail are some of the things you can do.
