The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 reaches up to 9,400 pounds of maximum towing capacity-surpassing both the Ford F-150 and RAM 1500. This commanding capability comes standard with the base 2.7L TurboMax engine and remains strong across all four engine options. To make towing confident and safe, the Sierra includes available ProGrade Trailering System technology with advanced controls and feedback, plus standard Front Tow Hooks for real-world utility. Every Sierra 1500 features an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed AutoTrac transfer case, giving you smooth shifts and the terrain control you need when hauling. Whether you're towing a boat, trailer, or equipment, the Sierra 1500 is engineered for the job. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to discuss your towing needs.
