The pickup truck segment offers an abundance of options, catering to the diverse needs of Utah drivers. In this comparison, we'll explore two standout choices: the new GMC Sierra 1500 and the new Toyota Tundra, both known for their robust engines, interior comfort, and premium features. If you're torn between these exceptional trucks, read on to discover which one aligns best with your requirements.
The GMC Sierra 1500 focuses on luxury and sophistication in its interior design. Even the base models come with high-quality materials and premium features. Higher trims like the Denali feature real wood trim, premium leather upholstery, and heated and ventilated front seats, creating an upscale atmosphere. The cabin is quiet, and the seats offer comfort on long journeys.
The Sierra's infotainment system is one of the best in its class. It starts with a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen but offers an advanced 13.4-inch touchscreen with GMC's latest infotainment software. The system is user-friendly, with clear menus and quick responses. It comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Higher trims offer features like a Bose audio system and a head-up display.
While the Toyota Tundra is a capable truck, it falls short in terms of interior amenities compared to the Sierra 1500. The Tundra offers an available Bose premium sound system, high-quality materials, and a touchscreen infotainment system. However, it can't quite match the level of efficiency and luxury found in the Sierra 1500.
While both trucks provide a similar suite of standard driver assistance features, the new GMC Sierra 1500 takes safety to the next level by offering several exclusive options not available in a new Toyota Tundra:
The GMC Sierra 1500 comes with three bed lengths: 5.8, 6.6, and 8.2 feet. The Sierra's bed design emphasizes functionality, with 12 standard tie-downs, larger corner steps for easy access, and an available multipro tailgate with six different functions and positions. There's also an optional CarbonPro bed made of a carbon-fiber composite, offering best-in-class dent, scratch, and corrosion resistance.
The Toyota Tundra offers three bed lengths depending on the cab size and trim: 5.5, 6.5, and 8.1 feet. This versatility allows the Tundra to adapt to different needs. The cargo bed is made of a composite material that Toyota claims is more durable and lighter than steel. The Tundra also features a deck rail system with adjustable tie-down cleats to secure your cargo effectively.
Both trucks offer similar bed lengths and versatile cargo spaces. However, the GMC Sierra 1500 takes it up a notch with its innovative multipro tailgate and optional CarbonPro bed. If cargo space versatility and advanced features are high on your priority list, the GMC Sierra 1500 might be the better choice.
When it comes to performance and capability, the New GMC Sierra 1500 is a true workhorse. It offers multiple drive modes, including settings for snow, sport, and tour, and features innovative StabiliTrak pickup technology. With an available 6.2L V8 engine that delivers up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, the Sierra 1500 can tow an impressive 13,000 lbs.
The Toyota Tundra holds its own in terms of pickup power, with a high-strength frame and an available multi-flex tailgate. It offers a 6.2L V8 engine with competitive performance. While not matching the Sierra 1500's towing capacity, the Tundra can still handle substantial tasks with a 12,000-lb towing capacity.
The GMC truck outperforms the Toyota truck in both critical categories. It boasts an impressive maximum payload capacity of 2,270 pounds, outshining the Toyota Tundra's 1,660 pounds. When equipped with a tow package, it achieves a remarkable maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds, surpassing the Toyota Tundra's 12,000 pounds.
Both the GMC Sierra 1500 and the Toyota Tundra offer compelling features and capabilities. However, if you seek a pickup that combines impressive power, impeccable styling, and uncompromising comfort, our recommendation leans towards the GMC Sierra 1500.
