GMC’s 2016 Sierra 1500 has bragging rights for the most powerful gasoline V8 in its class. The Sierra 1500 boasts a larger-than-life exterior, impressive 12,000-pound trailer rating and such uncommon features as available lane-departure warning and auto high-beam dimming.
If you need maximum towing power and fuel economy, the Ram 1500 and Nissan Titan offer a diesel engine option not available on the Sierra. If all you need is a truck to haul personal items, a more manageable midsize, like the GMC Canyon or Toyota Tacoma, makes a better choice.
