GMC Sierra 1500 vs Chevy Silverado 1500

If you’re looking to get around Plymouth, Sheboygan, or Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, in style and with all your materials in hand, two perfect options are the GMC Sierra 1500 and the Chevy Silverado 1500. With so many similarities between these trucks, it can be tough to choose one, but the team at Meyer Motors is here to help.

In this GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 comparison, we’ll point out some similarities and differences between them so you can figure out which one would be better for you.

GMC Sierra 1500 vs Chevy Silverado 1500: Tailgate Features

What makes the GMC and the Chevy so desirable are their tailgates, which offer tons of different functions. With these tailgates, you can open it and bring it down to a traditional position for easy load-ins. Additionally, the inner gate can fold down, which will give you easier access to the bed, and it even has a function that allows you to use it as a makeshift table.

There are two big differences between these tailgates, however. The more important difference is that the MultiPro Tailgate—the world’s first 6-function tailgate—is standard across GMC trucks, including the Sierra, whereas the Chevy’s Multi-Flex Tailgate is an available option on its trims.

Furthermore, the MultiPro Tailgate can make seeing at night a bit easier with available step lights.

GMC vs Chevy: Infotainment

No matter where you are or where you’re going, no drive is complete without your favorite songs, podcasts, and/or radio programs. The GMC and the Chevy allow for easy connectivity via Bluetooth® and wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ that can show important apps on available 8-inch infotainment screens.

Depending on the cab you have, you can utilize each vehicle’s 2- and 6-speaker systems as well as an available sound system by Bose® that give you concert-like audio quality.

The biggest difference in infotainment technology is that the GMC Sierra features a unique MultiPro Audio System by Kicker®, which is weather-proof and is embedded into the tailgate. You can connect multiple devices to play through its 2-channel system via Bluetooth®. If you want to connect your phone while using the system, you can use 3.5mm and USB ports.

Sierra 1500 vs Silverado 1500: Style

Style isn’t compromised with the GMC Sierra 1500 and the Chevy Silverado 1500. For drivers who opt for the GMC Sierra, everyone on the road will feel your presence with its striking front grille with a large GMC logo placed in the center, which may be a bit more clearly defined than the Chevy.

Each vehicle offers 10 exterior colors, many of which are similar, but the GMC has a Brownstone Metallic color and an Ebony Twilight Metallic color, which the Chevy doesn’t have. That means, you’ll have more unique ways to outfit the GMC than you would with the Chevy Silverado.
