The 2026 GMC Sierra EV outperforms the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum in several key areas. The Sierra EV produces 760 horsepower compared to the Lightning's 580 hp, delivering more exhilarating acceleration and towing confidence.

Range is a major advantage: the Sierra EV offers up to 478 miles versus the Lightning's 300 miles-meaning significantly fewer charging stops on long trips. Both deliver 350 kW fast charging and premium interiors, but the Sierra EV's 16.8-inch touchscreen surpasses the Lightning's 15.5-inch display.

The Sierra EV combines unmatched power, superior range, and cutting-edge technology to lead the electric truck segment. Curious to test drive one? Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or visit us in Chippewa Falls, WI.
