If you depend on your truck to get the job done, searching for the model of your dreams can be tough. The 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size truck that goes above and beyond without sacrificing comfort or style.

At Peruzzi Buick GMC, our GMC dealers near Trenton want to share how this model matches up to the competition, like the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500.  

Performance and Towing

There are many reasons why drivers choose the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, including its confident performance. The base model comes standard with a 4.3-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. In the SLT, AT4, and Denali models, you can take advantage of a 5.3-liter V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.

For ultimate power, a 6.2-liter V8 engine is also available, and it generates 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. By contrast, the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 offers comparable performance numbers, but not quite as much as the GMC Sierra 1500. 

When it comes to carrying heavy loads and towing, both models offer the strength drivers need. In particular, the GMC Sierra 1500 offers up to 89.1 cubic feet of space in its bed.

Interior Features 

The 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 offers comfort, practicality, and innovation in its cabin. Class-leading front head- and legroom, rear-seat amenities, and high-quality materials make this model attractive to drivers and passengers alike. Plus, our GMC truck also comes with available rear seatback storage, under-seat storage, and front storage for any smaller items you’ll be toting along.

Both the GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 offer intuitive interfaces and available Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, so you can stay connected wherever you go. 

We look forward to showing you the many features that make the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 an ideal truck. Stop by Peruzzi Buick GMC for the latest models, including the GMC Acadia!
