The Muscle Behind the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500

When discussing a truck as strong as the Sierra 1500, the engine is a great place to start the conversation. With four different engines available, GMC allows you to customize the foundation of your vehicle to your needs.

Engine	Maximum Horsepower	Maximum Torque
6.2L V8	420	460 lb-ft
Enhanced 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel	305	495 lb-ft
5.3L V8	355	383 lb-ft
2.7L Turbo High Output	310	430 lb-ft

The GMC Sierra 1500 has the power to pull up to 13,200 pounds. To put that into perspective, that is also the weight of an African elephant. While you are most likely not towing an elephant, the strength will hold to the average cabin cruiser and camper as well.

While the truck is towing your camper, the maximum 89.1 cubic feet of bed space can be used to store your packed goods and food for your getaway.

The Sierra 1500 Off-Road

Along with the strength to pull your cargo, the GMC Sierra 1500 is engineered to ensure our confidence in the security of both your cargo and your truck. With the available Traction Select System, you can quickly switch your driving setting to match a variety of different driving conditions. These settings have the capability to support both your vehicle and cargo as you take on various terrains.

If off-roading is more of an activity than an option to you, the AT4 and AT4X trims are designed standard with off-roading in mind, while the X31 Off-Road Package is available to other select trims.

Technology Supporting the Sierra 1500 Towing

To further your confidence in towing your cargo, the GMC Sierra 1500 has up to 14 available camera views to check the surroundings of your vehicle on the touchscreen console. This feature can include direct views of your hitch, bed, and rear side view, as well as the opportunity to equip rear trailer view and inside trailer view. The feature makes backing your boat into the lake or parking your trailer simple enough for one person.

Another tech feature to help monitor your cargo is the available In-Vehicle Trailering app, which can be accessed through the GMC Infotainment System. With this app, you can create profiles of up to five different trailers you may have, monitor trailer tire pressure, receive maintenance reminders, and more.
