2026 GMC Sierra 1500: powertrains, performance and towing capacity 

The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 at a competitive base price gives you a lot of choice, including several powertrains. And unlike competitors such as the RAM 1500 or the Ford F-150 vs. GMC Sierra 1500, it still offers a diesel engine that neither RAM nor Ford provide for 2026. Here are your engine options:

  • If you want an affordable and muscular truck, the 2.7 L TurboMax delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft, with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
  • If you prefer a classic setup, the 5.3 L V8 develops 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft.
  • For the highest towing capacity, the 3.0 L Duramax leans on torque with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft.
  • For a lively response, the 6.2 L V8 reaches 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft.

With the diesel, the towing capacity of your GMC Sierra 1500 climbs up to 13,300 lb. Even if you switch engines, you will still have a lot of muscle. The 6.2 L V8 can reach 13,100 lb., the 5.3 L V8 11,200 lb., and the TurboMax 9,500 lb. We explain this so you understand there is solid muscle right from the start, because if you compare the RAM 1500 vs. the GMC Sierra 1500, the RAM gives you only 11,610 lb in its best configuration.

Keep in mind that a truck's towing capacity depends on its configuration, not just the engine. That means it can increase or decrease based on your choice of double cab or regular cab, your cargo bed choice and the addition of accessories.

If you need more margin, you can look at other types of trucks, like a one-ton truck for example.

As for the GMC Sierra 1500 and its fuel use, it sits around 12.0 L/100 km with the Duramax. To find the best configuration for your reality, come chat with us at GM Paillé Berthierville or Sorel-Tracy, or give us a call. We will find you the ideal 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 and discuss attractive lease options.

PRO ADVICE

“If you have a family or you’re the one managing commutes with the team, aim for the crew cab because it will greatly simplify your daily life by giving you interior comfort similar to an SUV. This is one of the Sierra 1500's advantages. It gives you the muscle you want for work, yet remains livable every day.”
