The GMC Sierra 1500 represents the pinnacle of full-size light duty pickups. GMC has gone above and beyond with this model year, incorporating a raft of performance and comfort features that ensure the superior status of this truck. Superior mechanics and technology have been harnessed to make the 2023 Sierra more capable and more comfortable than ever.

4 Impressive Features of the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500

1. Diesel Engine Option

The 2023 Sierra 1500 can be configured with a second-generation 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine. This motor is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, making 305 horsepower and a class-leading 495 lb-ft of torque. Those impressive specs come with the best fuel economy of all the 2023 Sierra 1500 powertrain options, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

2. Towing Made Easy

The Sierra 1500 has been outfitted with several technological upgrades to make towing and trailering easy and safe. Towing capacity can be configured up to 13,000 pounds depending on the powertrain and drivetrain, and you can upgrade your Sierra with the ProGrade Trailering System that offers hitching and towing assistance through the infotainment screen.

Other options that streamline your towing experience include the trailer blind zone alert, trailer weight alert, as well as the in-vehicle Trailering App that lets you create trailering profiles that can be saved and accessed. The Trailering App features are also integrated into the MyGMC app, so you can control most functions through your smartphone.

3. Driver Assistance

Leading the list of helpful and convenient driver assistance features in the 2023 Sierra is Super Cruise, GMC’s in-house hands-free driving system. Available as an upgrade on some trim levels, Super Cruise is compatible with over 400,000 miles of roadway in the US and Canada, and is capable of changing lanes hands-free to maintain cruise control speeds. This feature is a must-have for those long-haul highway trips.

4. Off-Road Capability

If you plan on taking your Sierra off the pavement, you will appreciate these features. The Sierra AT4 and AT4X trims include a 2-inch suspension lift, skid plates, all-terrain tires, as well as front and rear electronic differential lockers, an invaluable tool for driving on uneven and slippery terrain. AT4X Sierras also have a front winch for vehicle recovery in off-road scenarios.

Various Sierra trim levels offer upgrades to driver assistance and off-road performance, as well as styling. No matter whether you need a reliable and capable pickup to haul your boat and camping equipment on weekend getaways or just a comfortable and efficient truck for daily use, the 2023 Sierra won’t disappoint. Come see us at Crain Buick GMC of Springdale to test drive a Sierra today.
