- 2.7-liter turbocharged engine delivering 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque
- 5.3-liter V8 producing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque

The Chevy Silverado 1500 features a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, a 5.3-liter V8 generating 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, and a 6.2-liter V8 producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. A Duramax 3.0-liter Turbodiesel variant provides 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque with a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds.
Off-Road Readiness
The Sierra 1500 AT4 and AT4X trims offer an advanced suspension system, off-road-tuned shocks, and skid plates for challenging terrain. The available MultiPro Tailgate adds functionality, while the optional CarbonPro bed increases durability.
The F-150 Tremor and Raptor models have high-output engines and enhanced suspension at a premium. The Chevy ZR2 introduces performance shocks and reinforced skid plates but lacks the high-end materials in GMC Sierra cabs.
Interior Amenities & Cargo Space
The GMC Sierra 1500 interior balances comfort with modern technology, offering premium seating materials, a 13.4-inch touchscreen, and an available 12-speaker Bose audio system. Rear legroom is generous, while the MultiPro Tailgate increases cargo bed flexibility.
The Ford F-150 has a 12-inch touch screen, fold-flat front seats, and an optional B&O sound system. The Silverado 1500 has a 13.4-inch touchscreen and available leather upholstery, yet lacks the distinctive attention to detail and luxurious materials of the GMC Sierra 1500.
Technology and Safety
The GMC Sierra 1500 includes Super Cruise for hands-free driving on compatible highways and advanced transparent trailer towing views. The Silverado 1500 has numerous safety features and the Ford F-150 counters with BlueCruise, but both lack the real-time towing assistance and hands-free driving capabilities of the GMC Sierra.
