Overview

Part of the fullsize truck segment, the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab competes with the 2023 Ford F-150 Regular Cab, the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab, and the RAM 1500 Regular Cab. A base MSRP of $36,400 gets you a 2.7L Inline-4 engine and an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $41,000, this single powertrain is found in all 4 trims.

This engine produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 7.1 seconds, and is offered as an RWD and 4WD.The GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab offers 6.6 feet and 8.2 feet cargo bed, with 2,120 pounds and 2,240 pounds of payload capacity respectively.

Buying Advice

The all-new GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab, when compared to its rivals, is a great choice as it offers better drive dynamics and if you could ignore the inferior build quality on the inside, we believe there is no better alternative in the given price point and cab configuration.
