Last but certainly not least in the Sierra 1500’s engine lineup is the turbodiesel option. This six-cylinder Duramax diesel engine pumps out 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The base engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic tranny, while the other engines are paired to a 10-speed transmission. Either way, you’ll enjoy smooth and easy shifting.

With the trailering package and other equipment in place, it can tow a maximum load of up to 13,200 pounds. Additionally, you’ll be able to carry a payload of up to 2,240 pounds when this truck is properly equipped.

Exterior Dimensions

The 2023 Sierra 1500 is offered as a crew, regular, or double cab with either a short, standard, or long box. This means you can configure your Sierra 1500 to meet your personal needs. Things like the wheelbase, overall length, and ground clearance will vary based on the model and packages you might add to your truck.

Most models have just under 8 inches of ground clearance, while the off-road version adds a 2-inch lift kit to ensure you make it over any terrain. The wheelbase sits at around 150 inches, give or take, and the overall length can vary but averages between 230 inches and 240 inches. Wheel sizes also vary depending on your setup, but you’ll have the option of 17-inch, 18-inch, 20-inch, or 22-inch wheels for your GMC Sierra 1500. A CornerStep rear bumper makes it easy to access the truck bed.
