If you’re looking for a powerful new pickup truck to give your Kingsport commute an upgrade, look no further than Champion Chevrolet! We offer a full lineup of new and pre-owned Chevy and Cadillac models, perfect for all kinds of budgets and lifestyles. Our flagship pickup truck is the iconic Chevy Silverado 1500, which boasts powerhouse performance specs and tough capabilities alongside sleek features and high-tech amenities. It’s a great choice for any driver, but how does it stack up to other popular pickups like the new GMC Sierra?
First, let’s see how the Silverado vs. Sierra compare in terms of price. After all, price is usually the first and foremost thing that drivers consider when shopping for a new vehicle! Since Chevrolet and GMC are both owned by General Motors, there’s a lot of overlap between the Silverado and Sierra, which means that they start at similar prices. However, the Silverado ultimately has the more affordable starting price at $36,300 MSRP, while the Sierra is pricier at $37,200 MSRP. Here are all the trims you can expect from both trucks:

As we discussed above, Chevy and GMC have a lot of “mirror image” vehicles due to their shared parent company of General Motors– besides the Silverado and Sierra, other pairs include the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon and the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon. As such, there’s no different under the hood of the GMC Sierra 1500 vs. Chevy Silverado 1500– they both offer the same four engines and deliver identical performance specs on the streets of Bristol. However, it’s worth noting that the Chevy Silverado has a higher towing capacity by about 1,500 pounds! Here are the specs for both trucks:
While the GMC Sierra 1500 and the Chevy Silverado 1500 are both great trucks, we ultimately have to come down on the side of the Silverado– it has a lower starting price, a higher towing capacity, and nine trim levels to the Sierra’s eight. However, if you’re still on the fence deciding between the Silverado 1500 vs. Sierra 1500, contact our office to set up a test drive of an available Silverado around Greenville!
