Power and precision are two traits that drivers covet in a full-size truck, and for a generation, the Sierra 1500 has met those expectations well. The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 blends power with precision, offering purpose-driven powertrains, hard-working capabilities, and technology that helps keep drivers safe and connected.
Power to Perform with Multiple Engine Options
Truck buyers can choose between four distinct engine options for the Sierra 1500, with each offering unique strengths. Those who want power while maintaining efficiency can opt for the standard TurboMax engine, which is paired with an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission to generate 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque. It also has an estimated fuel efficiency of 17 MPG in the city and 19 MPG on the highway.
Drivers who cherish V8 power can select between an optional 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 producing 383 foot-pounds of torque or a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 generating 460 foot-pounds of torque. Finally, diesel fans can choose the hard-working 305-horsepower 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel, which generates an incredible 495 foot-pounds of torque. All three of the larger engine options are mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Hard-Working Performance with Outstanding Towing and Payload-Hauling Ability
Full-size trucks are built to work hard, and the Sierra 1500 has the towing and payload capability to get the job done. The 6.6-foot standard payload bed on the Sierra 1500 has 71.7 cubic feet of cargo volume, and it can carry up to a maximum of 2,530 pounds in the bed area when properly equipped. With optional features like bedliners, built-in cargo tie-downs, and a variety of available bed covers, hauling materials and gear in the Sierra’s bed is a breeze.
The Sierra also shines when loads exceed the onboard cargo-hauling capacities, as it is rated to tow up to 13,300 pounds via trailer when properly outfitted. There are available features that simplify the task of towing even the heaviest of loads, including an in-vehicle trailering app, hitch guidance, auxiliary trailer camera, hitch view, an integrated trailer brake control, and GMC’s ProGrade trailering system.
Precision Technology That Increases Safety, Convenience, and Connectivity
Modern technology has changed automotive design, and the Sierra 1500 embraces current technology trends that help improve safety, convenience, and connection. The Sierra has a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it incorporates features like an HD rear vision camera, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, following distance indicator, and a lane departure warning.
Other advanced technology features that increase connectivity include a 3.5-inch driver information center, the GMC Premium Infotainment System with Google built in, a 7-inch color touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
The GMC Sierra 1500 strikes the perfect balance between power and precision, exciting drivers with versatile capabilities and modern technology. Contact Alexander GMC in Oxnard, CA, to schedule a test drive and experience Sierra excellence today.
