1. Excellent Towing Capacity 

Drivers who tow often can rely on the Sierra 1500 to haul up to 11,200 lbs when it’s adequately equipped. This is more than enough to pull an occupied livestock trailer, light construction equipment, another pickup truck, or even a tiny home. A trailer brake controller also comes standard now on this year’s model.


2. New 22-Inch Wheels 

For the 2025 model, 22-inch wheels come standard on the GMC Sierra 1500. This offers more traction and stability when driving, especially in icy, wet, or off-road conditions. It also gives the Sierra 1500 a sharp, clean aesthetic that looks great on the road.


3. An Extended Cabin 

Rear passengers don’t have to cram themselves in the back with the Sierra 1500. There’s plenty of space, with 43.4 inches of legroom that helps make long drives more pleasant than ever. The driver and front passenger also have 44.5 inches to move around, so everyone stays comfortable.


4. Fast Acceleration 

The Sierra 1500’s powerful, TurboMax engine generates 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a standard 8-speed transmission or an available 10-speed transmission. This helps the truck haul heavy loads. It also gives the truck a great acceleration speed. Drivers can go from 0-60 mph in just 6.2 seconds.


5. Spacious Truck Bed with 12 Cargo Tiedowns 

Another thing that drivers love about this light-duty pickup is that it has a spacious cargo area. With a standard, 79-inch carbon fiber bed and 12 tiedowns, securing large or awkwardly shaped loads is faster and easier. Overall, the Sierra 1500 provides 63.9 cubic feet of storage space in the bed alone.


6. 8-Way Power Driver Seat 

The Sierra 1500 provides superior comfort with am 8-way, heated power seat that offers power lumbar support. There are also two memorized driver seat settings, which is helpful for couples and families that share a vehicle.


7. Impressive Safety Features
