The 2026 GMC Sierra EV packs 605 horsepower from its standard dual-motor e4WD system, delivering best-in-class electric truck performance. This robust power ensures strong towing and hauling capability, so you don't sacrifice truck utility for going electric. The Sierra EV also features selectable drive modes-including Max Power Mode-that adapt to both on-road and off-road adventures. Advanced engineering like 4-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk allows diagonal movement at low speeds for tight maneuvering, while Terrain Mode enhances off-road confidence. For detailed specifications and to experience this power firsthand, contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or schedule a test drive at our Chippewa Falls location.
