The new GMC Sierra 1500 is a half-ton truck with much power. You can get the 2024 model in either gasoline or diesel, and both deliver high horsepower and torque. With the ProGrade™ Trailering Technology System and the GMC HD ProSafety package, you can be certain that you can tow in security and safety. The Max Trailering Package is required for the best results in the Viroqua, WI area.
Gasoline Performance
Your new Sierra 1500 features a base turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 310 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The base model engine pairs with an eight-speed transmission. Upgrade to a 5.3-liter or a 6.2-liter V8 for more horsepower and a ten-speed transmission. This upgrade can also offer you four-wheel drive; depending on your regular driving conditions, this may be a wise choice for Cresco, Iowa drivers.
The four-cylinder engine maxes out at 9,500 pounds of towing capacity with a regular cab. If you need more cab space, that towing capacity will drop to 9,100 pounds. The 5.3-liter V8 features a top towing capacity of 11,000 pounds, but you'll need to review cab and bed configurations carefully to stay above 10,000 pounds. The 6.2-liter V8 will get you to 13,000 pounds of towing capacity to tow heavy cargo around Caledonia, MN.
Diesel Stats
The diesel engine can get you to the full 13,300 pounds of towing capacity if you pair the double cab with the standard bed in the Decorah, Iowa, area. It's important to note that there are limitations on the regular cab choices; if you want a regular cab, you will be limited to under 10,000 pounds of towing capacity and only the turbocharged four-cylinder or the 5.3-liter gas engine. These are both terrific trucks for Richland Center, WI drivers to consider.
