The 2026 GMC Sierra EV outperforms both the 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning and 2025 Rivian R1T in key areas. The Sierra EV delivers 605 horsepower (vs. 462 in the F-150 and 533 in the Rivian) and offers up to 478 miles of range-significantly ahead of the F-150's 240 miles. The Sierra EV comes standard with a bed liner and head-up display, features not available (or only available) on competitors. Unique to the Sierra EV are advanced capabilities like 4-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk(R) and the available MultiPro Midgate, expanding cargo capacity to a class-leading 10 feet, 10 inches. When you're ready to see how these advantages feel in person, Markquart Motors invites you to schedule a test drive.
