What can you do when you’re faced with a choice that involves the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500? Do you give up and go back home to Eastland, Stephensville, Brownwood, or Breckenridge, or do you fight to find the answer? You fight to match up with the better of the two trucks and read this truck comparison by the team at Blake Fulenwider Chevrolet Buick GMC Eastland.
AVAILABLE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
VENTILATED FRONT SEATS
The GMC Sierra and the Chevy Silverado are beasts on and off the road. Both trucks feature matching power and capabilities; so, you can indulge in your favorite activities and do so effortlessly in either option.
Many similar engines appear in both the GMC and the Chevy truck menus. Both models give you four different engines with matching capabilities, so you’ll really need to go by other features to find out which one’s better.
At their best, the available 6.2L V8 engine that can reside under either hood pumps out 420 horsepower with 460 lb-ft of torque. So, you’ll be equally satisfied with either truck’s performance.
Differences, although minor, can affect which vehicle and trim you choose. While both vehicles get shifting power through an available 10-speed automatic transmission, their availability is not the same.
For example, any trim for the Sierra can be equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Seamless shifting and tons of possibilities exist to take on any type of terrain. Unfortunately, the Silverado does not offer a premium transmission in every trim.
Tough trucks can enjoy adventures of all kinds, which makes your safety even more important. Fortunately, the GMC Sierra and the Chevy Silverado offer safety suites and driver assistance aids to keep you on your journey and out of harm’s way.
You’re packing plenty of safety systems in either truck—if you want to have them. Well, this mostly refers to the Chevy. The GMC provides all these systems standard:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Rear Seat Reminder
- HD Rear Vision Camera
- Front Pedestrian Braking
The Silverado offers all these systems, as well, but none of them are standard. You’ll need to make sure you pick the right trim out of eight to use them. This is a wide range of valuable driver-assist systems you can use while commuting, working, or enjoying the weekend.
Despite several safety similarities, the GMC Sierra jumps ahead with standard Buckle to Drive, which encourages consistent seat belt use and prevents the truck from shifting out of Park until the driver clicks their seat belt in.
While the Chevy Silverado equips Teen Driver, an in-cabin coaching agent for your young motorist, it goes without a similar seat belt feature that is good for drivers of all ages and proficiency levels.
You deserve a truck that feels like your home on the road. You deserve a truck that gets you excited every time you slide into the driver’s seat. Thanks to advanced technology and seating features, the GMC Sierra and the Chevy Silverado can both offer you a blissful ride.
As you’re considering the towing capacity and strength of your proposed truck, don’t forget about the little details that make your ride convenient and comfortable.
Having standard Remote Keyless Entry makes it easy to get where you’re going without digging around for lost keys. Hit the button on your key fob and open the doors in a snap. Both vehicles have it, but in lower trims, the Chevy does not.
You’re covered for cooler mornings and evenings with available heated front seats found in both trucks. Not only do they warm you up after a raw day, but they can also soothe your back if you’ve been lifting a lot of heavy gear.
Available ventilated front seats can be a blessing when it’s steamy outside. Your legs won’t stick to the seat, and you’ll be refreshed when you enter the car from warm weather.
Now that you’ve fought to find out the differences between the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500, it’s time to relax and pick your favorite. With available vs. standard features, you’ll see you get more from the start with the GMC than the Chevy for drives around Eastland, Stephensville, Brownwood, and Breckenridge.
