Learn more with your local Kiem Chevrolet today.
Engine Lineup
You may be surprised to find the same four-engine lineup in both the Chevy and the GMC entry-level heavy-duty truck lineup. Both part of General Motors these two brands share their powertrain lineups and therefore share their towing capacities and performance numbers, so you won't' find any dealbreakers there. To give you an idea of your engine options, you'll find a standard turbocharged four-cylinder, a turbocharged-diesel engine, and two V8 gasoline-powered options.
Performance
Towing and performance abilities are plentiful across the lineup. If you're looking for speed, opt for the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine, which produces 420-horsepower output. Those who want to tow the most will enjoy the diesel engine, which offers up to 13,300-pounds in capacity. Maximum payload ratings soar up to 2,280-pounds, which is plenty for any new adventure. Those who crave the highest torque rating will appreciate the Duramax® diesel engine, which produces 460-pound-feet of torque.
Interior Design
This is where the differences start to kick in. One aspect of the Chevy Silverado 1500 lineup that our team here in Paradise appreciates is the fact that you can customize your model to your liking. That means that if you crave a simple work truck with vinyl seating, forgiving floor lining, and no-frills-which will save you both money and hassle, then the Chevy is the man for the job. The GMC Sierra 1500 comes out of the gate with features that aren't suitable to the jobsite, like cloth seating, which is limiting if you're looking to up the ante on your fleet.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Chevy then infuses its top trim levels, one of which is the High Country, with ultra-luxury amenities, something the GMC truck never quite reaches. You'll enjoy open-pore woodgrain dashboard details, a variety of bed lengths and cabin configurations, and more. If you're looking for versatility, we recommend the Chevy Silverado 1500 for 2022.
Connectivity and Technology
You'll find impressive technology on both modes. The choices for a 12.3-inch gauge cluster combined with a 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen are the same for both trucks. The Chevy, however, offers a standard mobile hotspot and smartphone connectivity-both features you have to upgrade for on the GMC.
Safety Features
Equipped with the latest that the Chevy, Buick, GMC lineup has to offer, both trucks provide drivers with state-of-the-art safety features with no compromises, which we believe is exactly as it should be. The standard suite covers everything from complete collision mitigation, lane keeping aides and earnings, as well as blind-spot monitoring. Upgrade for the new GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous drive mode.
