The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor system, outpowering both the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum (580 hp) and the 2025 Rivian R1T Adventure (600 hp). That extra muscle translates to exhilarating acceleration and a towing capacity of 9,500 pounds-plenty of capability for work and adventure.

With this commanding performance, the Sierra EV combines strength with advanced features like Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Four-Wheel Steering to give you control in any situation.
