While all of these trucks are bound to make your life easier and more stylish, there are several reasons the Sierra 1500 should be at the top of your list.

1. Five High-Performance Engine Options

While every pickup truck on the market provides several engine options, few can compare with the slew of powertrains that can come on the GMC Sierra 1500. Not every engine is available on each trim, but there are enough options that you can fit your preferred model with the perfect amount of muscle.

2. Go Multipro

If you’re driving a pickup truck like the Sierra 1500, you probably intend on using the bed to haul something once in a while. This truck’s bed is something for the record books. Start with the class-exclusive carbon-fiber-reinforced cargo bed that stronger than steel at a fraction of the overall weight.

Make sure you explore the world’s first six-function multipro tailgate. This tailgate has six different functions that allow you to access the cargo area or even turn your bed into a usable work surface.
