Work and play are taken to the next level in the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500, a popular pickup that offers turbocharged performance, off-road capabilities, and both two- and four-door models.
Multiple Engines to Choose From
Four engines, three gas and one diesel, are offered for this edition of the Sierra 1500, with the entry-level engine being the 310-horsepower 2.7-liter TURBOMAX engine. The other three are a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8, a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, and the diesel standout, a turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6. While the TURBOMAX engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, all others come with a 10-speed automatic, and every engine has integrated Automatic Stop/Start technology to help conserve fuel.
Sophisticated Comforts and Tech
Inside, standout seating fabrics offered include perforated leather with Kalahari accents, Dark Walnut/Slate cloth, and Jet Black vinyl, while the front seats are heated and ventilated in select trims. In models with two rows of seating, the rear seat is a 60/40 split-folding bench seat. Standard tech features include the GMC Infotainment System, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for phones, a 12-volt front power outlet, and the full-color Driver Information Center behind the wheel.
Versatility for Rugged Terrains
While most models come equipped with a rear-wheel-drive powertrain, four-wheel drive is available, as is a two-speed Autotrac transfer case that allows you to toggle between low and high gears for optimized traction. An off-road suspension system is also available, and the vertical recovery hooks available for lower trims come to standard on upper ones. If you go with the AT4 or AT4X trims, you get off-roading extras, including a lifted suspension for greater ground clearance.
A Stylish and Convenient Design
Wheel choices range from 17 to 22 inches and come in a variety of colors, like Silver, Bright Silver, and High Gloss Black. Cardinal Red, Downpour Metallic, and Thunderstorm Gray are the distinctive paint colors available. Power heated side mirrors, a multi-function tailgate, and skid plates are all available, depending on the trim. Most upper trims have an EZ Lift tailgate with a power-release tailgate, though a six-function tailgate is available with an optional integrated KICKER audio system.
Helpful Driver-Assist Features
Driver-assist highlights like the standard Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, HD Rear Vision Camera, and available Front and Rear Park Assist are sure to be appreciated. The ProGrade Trailering System that comes standard with many upper trims provides up to 14 different camera views for towing, and with an OnStar Basics subscription, you have Voice Assistant, Automatic Crash Response, and remote command capabilities if you should need help.
These highlights barely scratch the surface when it comes to this truck’s impressive offerings. Take a test drive today at Boyd Chevrolet GMC in Oxford, NC.
