2025 Ram 1500 vs 2025 GMC Sierra 1500: Comparison
2025 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2025 Ram 1500: Which Truck Goes Further?
The Canadian full-size truck segment is packed with strong contenders, and the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2025 Ram 1500 are two of the most talked-about. Both deliver capability and toughness, but when you compare key features side by side, the GMC Sierra 1500 may reveal a sharper edge for everyday utility, strength, and in-cabin experience.
More Powertrain Variety and Diesel Capability
The Ram 1500’s hybrid and gasoline engine lineup gives drivers a decent range of performance, with horsepower ranging from 305 to 540 and torque from 271 to 521 lb-ft.
But the GMC Sierra 1500 takes a more focused, high-torque approach. With a lineup that includes both gasoline and diesel engines, the Sierra delivers up to 430 lb-ft of torque—perfect for heavy-duty towing or long-haul drives where torque matters most. And with a maximum horsepower of 310, it still holds its own in pure power while offering that diesel flexibility.
Fuel Efficiency That Balances Power
The Sierra 1500 offers combined efficiency as low as 10.6 L/100km on certain trims like the AT4. Even at the top end, it peaks at 15.7 L/100km, which is on par with comparable Ram models. The Ram 1500’s fuel use ranges from 11.0 to 15.9 L/100km, depending on trim. That means Sierra drivers can get better mileage in a truck that doesn’t compromise on capability or comfort, especially if you choose the diesel option.
Stronger Payload for Tougher Jobs
If you’re hauling heavy loads around Kipling or putting your truck to work daily, the GMC Sierra offers a clear advantage in payload. It can handle up to 929 kg (2,048 lbs), compared to the Ram 1500’s 830 kg (1,830 lbs). That extra capacity can make a big difference on the job site or during a big move, offering more confidence when it’s time to load up and go.
Cabin Comfort & Technology That Works for You
Inside, both trucks bring big screens and connected features, but the Sierra comes with a slightly larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, compared to the ram 1500’s 12.0-inch, giving drivers a little more screen real estate for navigation, music, and vehicle settings. It also comes with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, just like the Ram.
Comfort-wise, the Sierra 1500 comes standard with cloth seats, which are breathable and tend to stay cooler during hot Prairie summers, great for long drives or work days. Ram’s standard vinyl seats are durable, but cloth can go a long way for everyday comfort and long-haul relaxation.
