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 2025 Rivian R1T Adventure (600 hp). It also offers a 9,500-pound towing capacity and features Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Four-Wheel Steering for commanding control.
