Performance
Staring out with the first of the "bests" under GMC, the new 2025 Sierra 1500 earns the title of Best-in-Class standard engine torque. That standard engine would be a TurboMax carrying 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This one is paired with an 8-speed auto for quality assurance in making sure you experience that impressive standard torque to the max. By going with the diesel engine instead, you'd be able to equip a max towing capacity of 13,200 pounds. New Sierra 1500 owners in Mount Vernon can fine-tune their ideal performance with available upgrades:
- 2-inch factory-installed lift
- Off-road tuned suspension
- Rancho monotube shocks
- Multimatic DSSV dampers
- Two-speed Autotrac transfer case
- Underbody skid plates
- Front and rear electronic locking differentials
- ProGrade Trailering System
The Ford F-150's standard engine might get a tiny bit more horsepower, but it's severely behind in torque. We suppose that's why the Sierra 1500 holds the "best-in-class" title. Fitted with the right gear, the F-150 can tow up to 13,500 pounds. While that might be a slightly higher capacity than its competitor, it pays the price in having fewer upgrades for you to nab. Enhanced shocks and a transfer case can't go up against the plentiful selection that the Sierra 1500 has to offer.
Safety Features
GMC Pro Safety's selection of standard driver-assist features is admirable, without a doubt. But that's not even the start of this story. The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 has plenty more to offer Columbus drivers with next-gen technology and an incredible number of camera views. An available steel front bumper and skid plate add real physical protection without the need for modern tech. But if you want it, the available front and rear park assist combo uses advanced sensors around the truck. But what impresses us the most is having up to 14 camera views to oversee every inch of your Sierra 1500 without stepping out of the truck.

Ford didn't equip the 2025 F-150 with as many standard features, or even available options, for that matter. Outside of the usual standard safety feature package, the F-150 only offers Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 and BlueCruise as upgrades that the average driver would potentially want to pay extra for.
Interior
Being a classic model won't stop this truck from being its best version of itself. The 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is far from boring, especially with so many ways to curate the cabin to your perfect ride. Truck owners in Mount Vernon can socialize in the Sierra 1500 with Best-in-Class crew cab front head and leg room. There's a hefty handful of ways to upgrade your seats, spanning from 10-way power adjustments all the way up to 16 max. Curate your front seats for comfort with available heating, ventilation, and massaging. Stay current with some of the best tech you can get in a GMC truck, like a massive 13.4-inch infotainment screen or a 15-inch head-up display.
Every passenger can enjoy a ride in the new Sierra 1500, but the Ford F-150 feels like it was only ever made for the driver. It makes for a decent one-person work truck, with an available work surface to use a laptop on the go. But you won't find too many luxuries here, or any sign of elevated comfort.
Bottom Line
Getting a new truck can feel like taking a chance on something that has the potential to leave you dissatisfied for the next few years, or until it puffs out its last breath. With the new 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 in Mount Vernon, you can buy a new truck with confidence and the reassurance of a great experience, as proven by its accolades.
