The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor system-more power than the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum (580 hp) and the 2025 Rivian R1T Adventure (600 hp). It's built to tow up to 9,500 pounds with confident acceleration and capability.

Beyond raw numbers, the Sierra EV features an Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Four-Wheel Steering with CrabWalk capability on the new AT4 trim, and Regen on Demand braking. Whether you're looking for work-truck toughness or exhilarating weekend drives, the Sierra EV combines strength with innovation.
