You might think the Sierra EV would be the first electric truck form GMC, but its not. The 2025 GMC Sierra EV has a lot to offer, helping you get things done.

As you might expect, the Sierra EV and Silverado EV are built on the same platform, but as has always been the case, the GMC truck has higher-class features and qualities to make it the more upscale truck for your driving experience. The first model year for the Sierra EV came late in the model-year cycle, which means it hasn’t been available for long, but now we’ll get a full year with this new electric truck.

A few updates for a newish truck

The 2025 version of this electric truck will have a smaller battery option to provide more choices than before. There will be new trims added later in the year, with the AT4 and Elevation models entering the lineup to give you more options when looking at this electric truck. This truck debuted last year with only a few choices, but a more affordable Extended Range version or the Denali trim has been added to the mix.

Until the new additions arrive, the Denali trim includes remote automatic parking and an upgrade to the 5G connection. New paint colors, including Dark Ember Tintcoat, Deep Ocean Metallic, Summit White, Onyx Black, and Moonlight Matte, are available this year, giving you several new colors to choose from.

The power you need in an electric truck

The GMC Sierra EV comes standard with a powerful setup in the Denali trim. This electric powertrain has motors at the front and rear wheels, giving you the benefits of AWD in every model. The motors produce 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque.

You’ll also have several other tricks up your sleeve with this truck including an air suspension that can raiser or lower the truck to give you the height you need when you get behind the wheel. The Sierra EV should also have the benefits of the Hummer Ev’s “Crab Walk” feature which allows the truck to drive diagonally thanks to the turning off the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels.

Admirable driving qualities

This electric pickup truck from GMC isn’t short on anything. You’ll find a variety of drive models that allow the Sierra to drive the way you want. This truck also features a one-pedal driving option, which utilizes the regenerative braking system to slow the truck when you lift of the accelerator. The Sierra EV is shockingly quick, pardon the pun, but that’s what you get when you drive an electric vehicle of any size.

Quick and capable, what more would you ask for?

The GMC Sierra EV in the Denali Edition 1 trim can hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. While that’s not as quick as the Hummer EV, which completed the sprint in 3.3 seconds, it’s still exciting and quick. This is an incredible number for a truck that weighs as much as the Sierra EV.

While the sprint time is admirable, you probably don’t need this truck to rocket off the line for you. Instead, you’re probably more interested in the towing capacity. The Sierra EV can tow up to 10,000 pounds and can be equipped with the ProGrade Trailering system, which gives you:

• An integrated trailer brake controller
• A hitch-view camera
• Trailer tire pressure sensors
• Trailer camera
• Blind-spot compatibility to the rear of the trailer

How far can you go?

If you want to drive this big and powerful truck for work, you need to know that it has you covered all day long. GMC offers this electric truck with an impressive driving range of 440 miles with the Max Range battery pack. If you need to add more range to the mix, it won’t take long. The Sierra EV can add up to 100 miles of range in 10 minutes using a Level 3 DC fast charging station. This means you can drive this truck all day long and keep working the way you would with a gas-powered Sierra.

One build for all

Every version of the GMC Sierra EV is a crew cab pickup with a six-foot bed. This should give you more than enough space for your whole family or work crew to enjoy the comfort offered inside this truck. There is a midgate function that expands the bed into the cabin to make it easier for you to carry longer items. You’ll also find a frunk where the gas engine would have resided, which means you’ve got all the cargo space you could ask for.

Will the new 2025 GMC Sierra EV become the electric truck you depend on every day?
