    If you’re looking for a pickup that can do it all, then the full-size truck category is where you’ll want to begin your search. These trucks come with big engines, plenty of cargo space, and great towing and payload capacities. However, there are a lot of options to choose from in this ultra-competitive market, which means you’ll need to do your research to find the truck that’s going to suit your needs the best. Each truck manufacturer out there is fighting to have the edge over the other by adding on different features that can be both extremely useful and convenient. To break things down a little, let’s do a quick comparison of two of the most popular light-duty full-size pickups on the market, the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2020 Chevy Silverado.

    For those of you that aren’t as familiar with the pickup market, you might not know that the GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevy Silverado are basically cousins to each other and share many similar qualities and features across the board. General Motors, or GM, is the parent company to both GMC and Chevrolet, and that means a lot of vehicles from both divisions will come off the same assembly lines with nearly-identical features. Still, that doesn’t mean they end up being completely the same, as you’ll still find important differences here and there. In general, the GMC line of trucks is considered to have more premium features than its Chevy counterparts, and that ends up raising the overall value of the vehicle.

    Still, you’re going to find a lot of similarities between the two lines of pickups. The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 has a base starting MSRP of $31,195 while the 2020 Chevy Silverado starts off at $28,300. It’s very competitive pricing between the two, with the Silverado coming in below the Sierra. However, the amount is small enough that anyone wanting to look into a Sierra for their additional features won’t be thrown off by the difference in price.

    Performance and Engines

    One of the most important factors with any pickup, let alone a full-size version, is finding out what’s under the hood in terms of engine and performance. It’s also important to note what kinds of engines are available for each of the trucks you’re looking at. With increased engine options, including more powerful ones, you will generally see a big increase in capabilities as well. Comparing the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2020 Chevy Silverado, we’re able to see that both trucks have a large variety of engine options and class-leading performance numbers.

Your most standard option will be the 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 engine with up to 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque. This is found on the base model and paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Next, there’s a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine with up to 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed, 8-speed, or 10-speed automatic transmission. For a more fuel-efficient ride, you might go with the 2.7L Turbo engine with up to 310 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

In fact, they are the same exact engines, from the standard 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 to the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and even the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I6.

  • Cargo Space

    A full-size pickup wouldn’t be much of a truck if there wasn’t sufficient room for cargo available both in the truck bed and the cab. This feature of trucks has become increasingly important to consumers as we want our vehicles to be able to do, handle, and carry more.

    Both the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2020 Chevy Silverado have risen to the challenge of providing ample amounts of space for all your cargo needs. On both of these pickups, you’ll find that the maximum available cargo bed volume is the most in the industry for this class of vehicle. With 89.1 cu.ft. of available cargo space in the back, you’ll have plenty of room for gear, materials, tools, and equipment.

    Key Differences Between the Sierra and the Silverado

    Where you’ll find some important differences between the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2020 Chevy Silverado is also in the back, with the truck bed itself and the tailgate. The GMC Sierra 1500 is the first pickup truck in the industry to introduce an available carbon-fiber composite bed, called the GMC CarbonPro bed. This truck bed made of carbon fiber composite material offers increased strength, durability, and scratch resistance, as well as corrosion-resistance and more functionality with increased tie-down locations. If that weren’t enough, the CarbonPro bed weighs 25 percent less than traditional steel beds.

    In addition to the CarbonPro bed, the GMC Sierra is the first pickup in the world to introduce a six-function tailgate, called the GMC MultiPro Tailgate. This tailgate offers six different functions that allow for more versatility when loading and unloading gear, trying to access gear, needing a step to get into the bed, and much more. You can also add on the available MultiPro Audio System by Kicker, which is an exterior audio system that integrates with the MultiPro Tailgate. Now you can have some easy access to your favorite tunes are you’re putting in some work or getting ready for a tailgate party.

    Interestingly, both pickups have a variety of interior storage solutions as well, including available rear-seatback storage compartments and available rear under-seat storage.
