An all-electric powertrain, bidirectional charging, and 4-Wheel Steer are some of the innovative features you will find in the 2025 GMC Sierra EV. The full-size pickup truck comes equipped with tremendous horsepower and a long list of technologies to tackle jobs both on and off the pavement. more All-Electric Powertrain The heart of the GMC Sierra EV is an all-electric propulsion system that generates 645 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque. It incorporates two electric motors, with one positioned on each axle, and an Extended Range battery. Choosing the available Max Range battery increases the power output to a formidable 760 hp, making the truck quicker and giving it extra muscle for the worksite. In this configuration, the Sierra EV hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and tows 10,500 lbs. Although there are many all-electric pickup trucks on the market, only a few come close to matching the driving range of the Sierra EV. The standard Extended Range battery allows the pickup truck to drive an impressive 390 miles on a single charge. With the Max Range battery, the Sierra EV's driving range reaches an incredible 460 miles. Bidirectional Charging The electric pickup truck has access to approximately 250,000 public chargers, which include Level 2 and DC chargers. You can locate the nearest station or plan a charging stop along your route using the myGMC mobile app. When plugged into an 800V DC Fast Charger, the Sierra EV gains up to 100 miles of electric range in 10 minutes, allowing you to continue your haul after a short break. You can also charge the Sierra EV at home with a GM Energy PowerShift charger. Adding a vehicle-to-home (V2H) enablement kit to the system lets you harness the pickup truck's bidirectional charging capabilities. The Sierra EV is capable of powering your home for up to 21 days during a blackout. Revolutionary Off-Road Technology You can confidently drive deep into the wilderness thanks to the Sierra EV's traction-rich eAWD system, 8.95 inches of ground clearance, and adaptive air suspension with adjustable ride height. With the press of a button, drivers can increase the truck's ground clearance to put extra distance between the underbody and rugged terrain. The pickup truck also features a host of other innovative off-road technologies, such as 4-Wheel Steer and CrabWalk. 4-Wheel Steer enables you to make extremely tight maneuvers by turning the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front ones. CrabWalk, on the other hand, turns all four wheels in the same direction, allowing the truck to move diagonally. Dominate your next job with the GMC Sierra EV's all-electric powertrain and innovative technology.

The 2025 GMC Canyon is built with versatility in mind, containing a selection of features that help it thrive on all terrain. With the welcome addition of modernized safety features, you can feel at complete ease when you're behind the wheel of this impressive mid-sized pickup truck. Explore six of the truck's most impressive features. more 1. Off-Road Suspension The GMC Canyon offers a true sense of freedom that isn't always available with mid-size trucks. With its two-inch factory lift and high ground clearance, the Canyon can breeze through off-road terrain with the same simplicity as it can on regular roads. 2. StabiliTrak StabiliTrak is an electronic control system that will help you keep your GMC Canyon under control in unpredictable driving situations. The system will enhance traction control, provide braking assistance, and reduce motor torque to prevent rolling or skidding. It's powered by the truck's sensors, which can detect differences between the vehicle's movement and the intended direction of travel. 3. ProGrade Trailering System The ProGrade Trailering System is an app-based feature which comes as standard on the GMC Canyon, offering drivers a selection of digital tools to make towing a lot simpler. These tools include hitch guidance, to help you attach the trailer to your truck. 4. HD Rear-Vision Camera The extended length of trucks such as the GMC Canyon can make backing up tricky. Thankfully, with the Canyon's HD rear-vision camera, you'll have a clear view of the surroundings behind you, displayed on the interior display screen. The images will appear when the back tailgate is in the raised position and the vehicle is in reverse. 5. 11-Inch Diagonal Driver Information Center With the sizable driver information center, you're unlikely to miss a single piece of useful information when driving. The full-color HD screen will display alerts and vehicle information, including speed, engine temperature and fuel levels. The screen is customizable, meaning you can decide the information that you want to be most prevalent on the screen. 6. Lane Keep Assist When driving on the highway, it can be easy to accidentally drift to the side of the lane, rather than maintaining a central position. The Canyon's Lane Keep Assist feature will be able to sense when this is happening, nudging the steering wheel slightly to get you back into the middle of the lane. The feature works by analyzing the road markings with the truck's forward facing camera. With a priority on versatility and safety features, the new GMC Canyon can flourish up a rugged hill with the same ease as it can on a tarmac road. Think it may be the right option for you?
