Inside the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500, you’ll find a cab designed to optimize the well-being of you and your passengers. You can outfit your seats in easy-to-clean vinyl or cloth or luxurious leather, perforated leather, or full-grain leather. On the top-of-the-line AT4X and Denali Ultimate trims, you and your front-seat companion can find your perfect seating positions with the available 16-way power-adjustable seats, which further aid in relaxation with massage functionality.
There are three cabs and three bed sizes available for the GMC Sierra 1500. The regular cab seats up to three passengers, while the double cab and crew cab can each seat up to six passengers comfortably. The standard bed is available across all three cab sizes and can hold up to 71.7 cubic feet of cargo. If you opt for the long bed, it is only available with the regular cab, and it offers up to 89.1 cubic feet of cargo space. If you don’t need that much space, the short bed available with the crew cab may be the best option — it offers up to 62.9 cubic feet of space. To access all this space, turn to the available six-function GMC MultiPro™ tailgate.
Available interior features include:
The mighty power of the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is evident in its four engine options. The standard 2.7L TurboMax™ four-cylinder engine is a turbocharged powertrain that produces up to 430 pound-feet of torque, all while matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. If you need more towing power or prefer a ten-speed automatic transmission, the available 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine is a potent option. For an impressive 29 MPG of highway fuel economy, the top towing capacity, and the highest torque available, turn to the 3.0L Duramax® turbo diesel. If you prefer the EcoTec3 capabilities but still want prominent towing power, the optional 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine is also available.
If you enjoy off-roading recreationally or need the capabilities for worksite access, you’ll find plenty of features to admire among the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 models. The AT4 trim will keep your drive going smoothly thanks to the 2-inch factory-installed lift with monotube Rancho® shocks. If you’re looking for maximized performance, consider the AT4X trim with its front and rear electronic locking differentials and its off-road suspension with Multimatic® DSSV dampers.
