If you’re looking for a robust new pickup truck in the North Pole area, you’ve come to the right place! At Chevrolet GMC Of Fairbanks, we’re proud to offer all the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC. Two of the best work trucks you can find right now are the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, both of which offer strong performance specs and tough capabilities on and off the road. Because GMC and Chevy are both owned by General Motors, a lot of their vehicles are built using the same platform and therefore share a lot of features–besides the Sierra/Silverado, other vehicle pairs include the GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado and the GMC Yukon/Chevy Equinox. While they have a lot in common, there are also some important distinctions between the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra that you’ll want to be aware of, so Chevrolet GMC Of Fairbanks has outlined all the details in the guide below.
The first key difference between the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado is their starting price. The Chevy Silverado starts at $35,600 MSRP while the GMC Sierra is a bit pricier at $37,200 MSRP. However, the Sierra compensates its higher price tag with a wider range of interior and safety features, which we’ll get into more below. One area where you won’t have to compromise between these trucks is in their performance specs–as we discussed above, the Sierra and Silverado are built on the same platform, so they share the same engine options under the hood! Here are all the available powertrains:
Inside the cabin, both trucks have everything you need for a smooth and safe ride around Fort Wainwright and beyond. GMC vehicles are a bit more focused on premium luxuries than their Chevy counterparts, so the Sierra comes with a few extra comforts and conveniences behind the wheel. These include a 10-way power driver’s seat, multiple power outlets, a 12.3-inch Driver Information Center display, and a 13.4-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System with Google built-in. The Sierra also comes with two key safety features that you won’t find on the Silverado: Teen Driver Tech and LED Running Daytime Lights.
