Powerful Engine Options and Performance
The GMC Sierra 1500 offers an impressive array of engine options to suit your power and efficiency needs. The standard 2.7-liter I4 Turbocharged engine delivers 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, providing ample power for everyday tasks. For those seeking more muscle, the available 5.3-liter V8 EcoTec3 engine produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, while the mighty 6.2-liter V8 EcoTec3 engine churns out an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
If diesel power is more your style, the Sierra 1500 also offers a 3.0-liter I6 Duramax Turbodiesel engine, which generates 305 horsepower and a whopping 495 pound-feet of torque. This engine not only provides exceptional towing and hauling capabilities but also offers impressive fuel efficiency for a truck of this size.
Paired with these powerful engines, the Sierra 1500 comes equipped with either a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission or an eight-speed automatic, depending on the configuration. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but for those who frequently venture off-road or encounter challenging weather conditions in San Bernardino, CA, the available four-wheel-drive system provides added traction and control.
