For decades, GMC has been renowned for building some of the most capable, versatile full-size pickups available. The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 continues that tradition with a half-ton pickup offering versatile powertrain options, tremendous capability, and elevated features that distinguish it from its peers.
Professional-Grade Towing and Payload Capability
Half-ton trucks are built for hard work and practical capability, and the Sierra 1500 can move most loads with ease. The Sierra’s maximum towing capacity goes up to 13,300 pounds, depending on powertrain choice and optional equipment selections. With available features like an in-vehicle trailering app, outside power-adjustable vertical trailering mirrors, hitch guidance, and an integrated trailer brake controller, the Sierra makes towing easy.
If moving lighter payloads is the task at hand, the Sierra 1500 can efficiently handle them, thanks to a standard 6.5-foot cargo box that offers 71.7 cubic feet of cargo volume and can carry up to 2,530 pounds when properly equipped. The optional bedliners, built-in cargo tie-downs, cargo box lighting, and bed covers that are available for the Sierra 1500 can simplify hauling almost any payload.
Versatile Powertrains Ready for Any Task
The Sierra 1500 has a choice of four different engines and two available drivetrains, with both RWD and 4WD configurations. The standard engine is the TurboMax, which has an estimated fuel efficiency of 18 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway. It also produces 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque when paired with an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and a dedicated Tow/Haul mode.
Other engine options in the Sierra 1500 include a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 that creates 383 foot-pounds of torque, a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 that delivers 460 foot-pounds of torque, and a 305-horsepower 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel that creates 495 foot-pounds of torque. Each of the three engines is paired with a 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with powertrain grade braking, Tow/Haul mode, and overdrive.
Enhanced Driving Experience Through Technology
The safety and infotainment technology in the Sierra 1500 gives drivers the confidence of knowing they’re protected and the satisfaction of maintaining connection. The standard infotainment features in the Sierra include a 3.5-inch driver information center, a 6-speaker audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and the GMC Infotainment System with a 7-inch color touchscreen.
The advanced safety and driver assistance technology in the Sierra 1500 includes forward collision warning, an HD rear vision camera, automatic emergency braking, a following distance indicator, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, six airbags, and front pedestrian alert.
The Sierra 1500 continues to deliver inspired elegance and rugged performance, which is why it continues to be one of America’s favorite full-size half-ton trucks. Contact AutoNation Buick GMC in Henderson, NV, today to see the Sierra 1500 in person and arrange a test drive.
