Is GMC changing the Sierra in 2025?
Yes, the 2025 Sierra sees some change. The truck sees new 22-inch tires, but aside from that the truck remains the same from the year before. It was and still is a powerful truck with many features that were worth preserving
When can I order a 2025 GMC Sierra 1500?
You can order a 2025 Sierra 1500 in November. Some configurations of the Sierra 1500 have started to roll out, but the bulk of them won’t be released until November. The Sierra 1500 comes in 8 trims, at 8 price points. The trims you can look for are the Pro, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, Denali, AT4X, and Denali Ultimate.
What features are available on the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500?
The base Pro trim that starts at $38,300 comes with some pretty basic features. The features that you can look for are 12 cargo tie downs, and a 12V power outlet at the front of the truck. The TurboMax engine that comes standard on the truck produces 310 horsepower, and 430 lb-ft of torque. Depending on the configuration, this trim can haul up to 9,800 pounds.
Jumping up a few trims to the AT4, and AT4X, these two trims are meant to be off-road monsters. Looking at the souped up AT4X that starts at $79,400, it comes with a ton of features. Starting with the outside you will find AEV stamped steel front bumper with front winch capability. The truck also comes with a 2-inch factory lift with off-road suspension and Rancho monotube shocks that helps keep the ride smooth, even when conquering terrain.
The interior also sees some nice comfort features in the form of 16-way power seats. These seats come heated, ventilated, and have massaging features that help keep you loose no matter what. This trim is equipped with a 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine that can generate 305 horsepower, and 495 lb-ft of torque.
Now it’s time to look at the best of the best, the Denali and the Denali Ultimate. The highest trim, the Denali Ultimate has a price tag of $84,200. This trim comes with a signature Denali Vader Chrome grille, and 7-spoke ultra-bright 22-inch machined aluminum wheels which come with bright chrome accents that can’t be found on other trims.
Another feature that can only be found in this trim is the 12-Speaker Bose Premium Series with Centerpoint surround sound. This sound system is the best way to listen to music while behind the wheel. While the truck is outfitted with tons of aesthetic and tech features, it still is a truck at the end of the day. This trim is equipped with a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine. This engine is capable of producing 420 horsepower, and 460 lb-ft of torque.
What is the best engine in a GMC Sierra?
When it comes to power, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 takes the cake. While there’s a few standard engine options across all trims, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 that is equipped on the Denali Ultimate produces the most horsepower. While other engines in the Sierra lineup will get the job done, none will look as good doing it as the Denali Ultimate.
