2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Overview
The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 continues to be among the top choices in the full-size truck segment, blending brute strength with innovative technology and premium touches. This truck comes in many configurations at the Salem GMC dealer, from stripped-down work versions to high-end models loaded with luxury features. Its bold exterior gives it a commanding road presence, while the interior provides a comfortable and functional space for daily commutes and demanding jobs. Built to handle tough tasks while maintaining the level of comfort expected from modern trucks, the Sierra 1500 remains a key competitor in a segment where performance and practicality are equally important.
The Sierra 1500 comes in eight trim levels: Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. The truck can be configured with regular, double, or crew cab body styles, though not all trims are available with every cab option. According to the Salem GMC dealership, bed length choices vary based on the selected cab configuration.

Under the hood, GMC provides four engine choices for the Sierra 1500. The base powerplant is a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that pumps out 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking maximum efficiency with strong pulling power, the turbodiesel 3.0-liter inline-six generates 305 hp while delivering a muscular 495 lb-ft of torque. Two V8 engines round out the lineup: a 5.3-liter unit producing 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque and a 6.2-liter V8 developing 420 hp and 460 lb-ft.
The turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and the rear-wheel-drive 5.3-liter V8 are connected to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Moving up to the 5.3-liter V8 with four-wheel drive, the diesel inline-six, or the 6.2-liter V8 brings a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on most trims, with four-wheel drive available across much of the lineup.
When properly equipped, the Sierra 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds. It can handle payloads up to 2,530 pounds.
