chevy silverado 1500 vs gmc sierra 1500 wilmingto

Power and handling come natural to the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the GMC Sierra 1500. In fact, both models even share the same engines! However, with a slightly higher towing capacity in the Chevy, you can explore more towing opportunities.

4 Engines: The Power of Choice

The 2023 Silverado 1500 and the Sierra 1500 share the same four powertrains:

• 2.7L Turbo High-Output engine: 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque
• Available 5.3L V8 engine: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
• Available 6.2L V8 engine: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
• Available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine: 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft

Despite these similarities, it begs the question: Which truck can tow more?

Tremendous Towing Power

As it turns out, that would be the Chevy truck. While the competition is close, the Chevy Silverado can tow 13,300 pounds compared to the GMC Sierra truck's 13,000-pound towing capacity. Although very similar, the Chevy’s added towing power can add a bit more strength to your next towing adventure.

When it comes to payload, the Silverado and the Sierra are on more even ground. The two can each carry over 2,200 pounds in their truck beds—a solid total in the light-duty truck segment. Load up your landscaping supplies or a few dirt bikes for the weekend.
