GMC Sierra vs. Chevy Silverado: Performance Specs

Before we dive into the key differences between the Silverado and Sierra, let’s talk about where they overlap. Since Chevy and GMC are both owned by General Motors, a lot of their vehicles are built on the same platform and therefore share the same performance specs. The GMC Sierra/Chevy Silverado is one of these pairs, alongside the GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado and GMC Yukon/Chevy Equinox. Both the Silverado and Sierra offer four available powertrains under the hood and deliver the same specs:

• 2.7L Turbo High-Output: 310 hp / 430 lb-ft of torque

• 5.3L EcoTec3 V8: 355 hp / 383 lb-ft of torque
• 6.2L EcoTec3 V8: 420 hp / 460 lb-ft of torque
• 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel: 277 hp / 460 lb-ft of torque

GMC Sierra vs. Chevy Silverado: Key Features

While they may be similar under the hood, the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado deviate significantly inside the cabin. Chevy vehicles are intended mostly to be no-frills work trucks, while GMC models add some extra touches of premium luxury to your Smyrna roads. With that in mind, the Sierra comes with several extra features and amenities that you won’t find on the standard Chevy Silverado. These include:

• 10-way power driver’s seat
• Multiple power outlets throughout the cabin
• 12.3-inch Driver Information Center display
• 13.4-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System
• Teen Driver technology
• LED Daytime Running Lights
