The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers best-in-class standard horsepower of 605, powered by a dual-motor e4WD system designed for robust towing and hauling. That power translates to real capability: selectable drive modes adapt to both on-road and off-road adventures, while advanced features like 4-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk(R) enable diagonal movement for tight turns and challenging terrain. Terrain Mode and off-road settings build confidence on rugged paths. Plus, off-boarding power options like GMC Energy Transfer Pro give you up to 10.2 kW to run tools, camping gear, or charge another EV. For specific towing numbers and real-world performance details, call (715) 833-0444 or visit Markquart Motors for a test drive.
