What Are the Engine Options for the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500?
When it comes to owning a capable and versatile truck, the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is one of the best. It has the kind of flexibility of design you want in your light-duty pickup, ensuring you can do a little bit of everything from hauling, to towing, to off-roading. With that in mind, the 2025 Sierra 1500 has four robust engine options available, to ensure you can meet the challenges unique to your lifestyle. Read on with the truck team here at Swan River’s Key Chevrolet as we run down what these four different engine options have to offer.
2.7L TurboMax™ Engine
Standard On: Pro, SLE, Elevation
There’s nothing “standard” about the entry level engine on the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500. The 2.7L TurboMax™ delivers 310 horsepower and a best-in-class standard torque of 430 lb.-ft.. With this engine, a properly equipped Sierra 1500 can easily tow up to 9,500 lbs. It comes paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a robust, effortless drive no matter where your work takes you.
5.3L EcoTec3 V8 Engine
Standard On: SLT, Denali
Available On: Pro, SLE, Elevation
If you want a little more horsepower under your hood, you can upgrade to a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 gas engine, with 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers 355 horsepower, but a little less overall torque at 383 lb.-ft.. It’s still a total powerhouse when it comes to towing, boosting the effective pulling power of the 2025 Sierra 1500 to 11,200 lbs, when properly equipped.
6.2L EcoTec3 V8 Engine
Standard On: Denali Ultimate
Available On: AT4, Denali, AT4X
If you need serious power for the biggest jobs, it doesn’t get much more powerful than the mighty 6.2L EcoTec3 V8. Married to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and equipped with dynamic fuel management technology, this engine can output 420 horsepower and an incredible 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Not only can this engine allow a properly equipped 2025 Sierra 1500 to tow up to 13,000 lbs., it’s also incredibly fuel efficient! It gets an estimated 12.1L/100km on the highway which is pretty impressive for a heavy duty engine.
Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel
Standard On: AT4, AT4X
Available On: Elevation, SLT, Denali, Denali Ultimate
If the thrill of going off-road is more your speed, the trailblazing AT4 and AT4X trims both come standard with the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine. This performative engine generates 305 horsepower, and a jaw-dropping 495 lb.-ft. of terrain busting torque. It’s also a champion at trailering, letting your properly outfitted 2025 Sierra 1500 pull up to 13,200 lbs!
