The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers serious power with a standard dual-motor e4WD system producing 605 horsepower-best-in-class for electric pickups. That robust power translates to strong towing and hauling capability, plus selectable drive modes like Max Power Mode that adapt to your needs, whether you're on the road or tackling off-road terrain.

The Sierra EV also includes advanced features like 4-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk for tight maneuverability and Terrain Mode for confidence on rugged paths. Off-boarding power is available too, with up to 10.2 kW to run tools, camping gear, or charge another vehicle.

For specific towing capacity details and to test the power yourself, contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or schedule a test drive at our Chippewa Falls location.
