Chevy Silverado 1500 vs GMC Sierra 1500

Where the Sierra 1500 and Silverado 1500 truly differ is their exterior. Upon first inspection, these pickups appear to be similar-each offering short, standard, and long beds providing a maximum cargo volume of 81.9 cubic feet. Additionally, the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 can handle payload weights of over 2,200 pounds.

Where these pickups differ, though, are their tailgates. The Sierra 1500 features an available 6-function MultiPro™ Tailgate that folds to create an extra step for easier bed access or to create a cargo stop. While the Silverado has an available tailgate step, it doesn't have a multifunction tailgate. So, if you're interested in this unique feature, consider the Sierra 1500.

While their exteriors are different, the interiors of the GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 are, once again, similar. Each pickup offers available heated front and rear outboard seats to warm you and your passengers on chilly winter mornings. When you've spent a hot afternoon working in the sun, ventilated front seating is available, too.

When traveling from worksite to worksite or taking your large camping trailer out for a weekend getaway, 8-inch infotainment touchscreens will keep you entertained. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration allows you to pair your compatible smartphone to gain access to your music library for a customized entertainment experience.

To provide an extra eye on the changing road around you, the following safety systems are available in the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500:

• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking

Additionally, Front and Rear Park Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert is available to make maneuvering out of tight parking spots easier and more secure. Clearly, no matter which of these pickups you decide to get behind the wheel of, you'll be able to enjoy a more alert and safe drive.

With so many similarities, you'll be able to enjoy a commanding ride, well equipped to handle all your worksite demands, in either of these trucks. But, if you're intrigued by the multifunction tailgate on the Sierra 1500, it may be a helpful option for you.
