2019 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2019 Chevy Silverado

Both the 2019 GMC Sierra and 2019 Chevy Silverado share nearly the exact same performance capabilities, making them equally jaw-dropping when it comes to their immense potential. When it comes to trucks, nothing shows off their potential than their powertrain portfolio. The 2019 GMC Sierra, as well as the 2019 Chevy Silverado, offer a fantastic and fearless lineup of four unique engines for drivers to choose from. While their handling and off-roading capabilities are unquestionable, the main appeal is these models is that they have an engine for every driver, no matter their automotive needs.

• There is nothing going wrong with the standard options, as the 4.3 V6 engine still manages to rank pretty well in the power department with its 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque. This option is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and won’t cost drivers a penny more.
• The next on the list is a 5.3L V8 engine that is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. With optional Dynamic Fuel Management, this engine delivers up to 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.
• Next up is a more advanced option that never seems to fail in bringing out the Sierra’s true potential. The 6.2L V8 engine with Dynamic Fuel Management provides drivers with more power than they could dream of for this class. With 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque you wouldn’t think it could get more impressive but paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission this options just keeps delivering perfection.
• Lastly, there is a 2.7L turbo 4-cylinder engine with 310 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque. While it may be small, it knows how to pack a punch and is perfectly paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This is also the most fuel-efficient of the engines

In addition to these engines, which are generally shared between the vehicles, there are a few other noteworthy performance features when it comes to these two. The main thing to note is that the top towing potential for the 2019 Sierra is 12,200 pounds, and, not surprisingly, the 2019 Silverado is also 12,200 pounds depending on the configuration choices, type of towing, and the equipment used. Each other these also offers two cab-size options and two bed-size options. That being said, both options also have drive-mode selection and off-roading packages in order to keep your journey going no matter what stands in your way with advanced technology.
