The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 features a Duramax® 3.0L Turbo Diesel engine delivering 305 horsepower and an impressive 495 lb-ft of torque, offering a best-in-class towing capacity of 13,000 lbs. On the other hand, the 2025 RAM 1500 offers a 5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque Mild Hybrid technology, generating 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with a towing capacity of 12,750 lbs. While both trucks are powerful, the Sierra 1500 has a notable advantage in towing capability and engine performance.

Additionally, the ProGrade™ Trailering System on the Sierra provides advanced tools like trailer light diagnostics and real-time trailer tire pressure indicators, which the RAM 1500 lacks, further improving towing efficiency and safety for the Sierra.

The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 offers an upscale cabin with premium materials like open-pore wood trim and perforated leather seats. For a more luxurious feel, it also features a 15-inch multicolor Heads-Up Display (HUD) and the Bose® premium sound system. Higher trims like the AT4 and Denali offer ventilated seats and massaging chairs for an added touch of comfort.

The 2025 RAM 1500 provides a spacious and refined interior with the available Uconnect® infotainment system and leather upholstery in upper trims. While it is certainly comfortable, it does not feature the same level of innovation and quietness as the Sierra 1500, especially with the Active Noise Cancellation system that makes the cabin of the Sierra more peaceful during drives.

The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 offers cutting-edge Super Cruise™ technology, providing hands-free driving on over 200,000 miles of compatible roads, a first in the industry. The MultiPro™ Tailgate is another innovative feature, offering six functions to improve cargo handling. In contrast, the 2025 RAM 1500 features a 12-inch touchscreen and smartphone integration, but it does not include comparable hands-free driving or tailgate functionality found in the Sierra.

The RAM 1500 offers a Uconnect® infotainment system and adaptive cruise control, but it lacks the groundbreaking technology of the Sierra, particularly with regard to towing and driver assistance features. The Sierra 1500 offers eight cameras with 14 views, including for trailering, which enhances safety and convenience during towing.

The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is equipped with GMC Pro Safety, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and advanced trailering safety tools. These features are designed to enhance your safety whether you're driving on highways or navigating rough terrain. Additionally, the Sierra's Active Safety Technology offers peace of mind when towing heavy loads.

The 2025 RAM 1500 also offers safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Warning. While the RAM 1500 is well-equipped, it lacks the advanced trailer-specific safety features that are offered on the Sierra 1500, making the GMC a better option for those needing additional safety for towing.
