Under the Hood: Silverado vs Sierra

---

When popping the hood on the 2022 Silverado 1500 and Sierra, you’ll find nearly identical setups. In fact, they feature the same exact engine, a 2.7L Turbo engine. In either pickup this engine will arm you with 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque.

In addition to coming with the same standard engine, the Silverado 1500 and Sierra offer three other engine options, which again, are the same across both pickups:

• 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I6: 277 HP, 460 lb-ft of torque
• 5.3L EcoTec3 V8: 355 HP, 383 lb-ft of torque
• 6.2L EcoTec3 V8: 420 HP, 460 lb-ft of torque

While all the engine options across the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra lineups are exactly the same, you’ll find a difference when it comes to towing capacity with these two pickup trucks. When properly equipped, the GMC offers a maximum towing capacity of 13,000 pounds. On the other hand, the Chevy offers more towing prowess when properly equipped, with 13,300 pounds of maximum capacity.

Towing Technology in the Silverado and Sierra

If you’re planning on taking advantage of the towing capacities offered by the Silverado 1500 and Sierra, you may also be interested in learning more about some of the towing technology offered by each pickup, aimed at making your driving experience easier.

The trucks, again, offer many of the same technology features. For example, both the Silverado and Sierra offer an available Auxiliary Trailer Camera. This system provides a camera that will allow you to check up on your trailer from inside the truck cabin, making sure everything is hitched safely and securely.

You’ll have one available feature on the Silverado that you won’t find available on the Sierra, though. This is the available Trailer Tire Pressure and Temperature Sensor system. This system comes with four sensors, helping you ensure that optimal trailer performance is being maintained as you prepare to tow.
