4 Reasons Drivers Love the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500

1. It Can Handle Heavy Loads

Thanks to its high payload AND towing capacities, the GMC Sierra 1500 is a versatile truck that you can rely on in different situations. It has a maximum payload capacity of 2,530 pounds, so it’s strong enough for all kinds of equipment.

Hauling is also no problem for the truck. If you get the 20-inch wheels and tires, Max Trailering Package, and the available diesel engine, then you can tow up to 13,200 pounds. You need to be driving a two-wheel-drive Double Cab model to reach this towing capacity, too. With this configuration, the Sierra 1500 outperforms the competition when it comes to hauling.

2. It Can Steer Itself

Super Cruise and Connected Services are available on the higher trims of this pickup. Super Cruise is especially useful for people who drive on the highway a lot, as it lets you relax a little and take your hands off the wheel. As long as you keep your eyes on the road, you can enjoy hands-free driving on 200,000 miles of roads and counting across the United States and Canada.

3. It Keeps You Comfortable and Entertained

The Sierra 1500 has a pleasant interior with a 4-way adjustable driver’s seat, and you can upgrade to a 10-way power-adjustable. Various other upgrades let you elevate the feel of the interior further. Available upgrades include illuminated door sills, a sunroof, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats. There’s also a console-mounted safe available.

While staying comfortable, you can enjoy streaming content from apps like Pandora, Apple Music, and Spotify. You can play your favorite audiobooks and podcasts through the car’s sound system, too. You need to connect your smartphone to the infotainment system to do all of this. If you’d rather go without connecting your phone to the truck, then you can still enjoy all kinds of content if you get the available 3-year subscription to SiriusXM.

4. It Keeps You Safe

Every Sierra 1500 has an HD Rear Vision Camera. The truck also has standard driver assistance features that include Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking. You can also safely stay in touch with people while you drive, as connecting your smartphone to the infotainment system lets you use your voice to access the phone’s calling and texting functions without letting go of the wheel.
