As a mechanical beast, the 2024 GMC Sierra has had continued success around Sherman, Texas. Its bold design grants drivers a new sense of confidence, the interior feels like a luxurious escape from the outside world, and the towing prowess is challenging to compete with. For being one of the best-selling nameplates across the country, let's see how another truck - like the 2024 Toyota Tundra - compares to it.
Before you search for your new truck, you always need to think about what trims are available to purchase. Not every truck comes with a wide variety of trims, which can deter drivers from another vehicle. Luckily, the GMC Sierra 1500 offers Frisco, Texas drivers eight different trims to choose from. You might be interested in the base Sierra Pro model, or something more pristine like the Denali. Either way, with the GMC Sierra, there are multiple options to choose from.
While trucks like the Toyota Tundra do have five models, that doesn't compare to eight trims. There's a model built for everyone when you select the Sierra as your next truck.
Next on your truck checklist are the engine options at your disposal. The Sierra comes with four different engines, two transmissions, and rear- or all-wheel drive. Your standard Sierra will be powered by a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder that provides 310 horsepower with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Climb further up the Sierra engine mountain and you'll find two V8 options, generating 355 horsepower and 420 horsepower. Finally, there's a diesel six-cylinder that outputs 460 pound-feet of torque. Needless to say, you'll have all the power you need - and then some - with every engine the Sierra has available.
The Toyota Tundra comes with three distinct available engines, all based on a turbocharged 3.4-liter V6. While there are different options here, there's no diesel engine that tests the limits of what your truck can haul.
Your truck's true strength doesn't come just from its engine or its design, but the amount it can tow. The GMC Sierra doesn't skimp out on hauling power, carrying a maximum weight of 13,200 pounds. Taking your boat or camper to the campground for the weekend, or hauling a large equipment load to the job site has never been this easy.
You'll find solid towing capabilities in the Toyota Tundra as well. Its 12,000-pound maximum tow rating is nothing to laugh at, but that's still over 1,000 pounds less than the Sierra 1500.
When you sit inside your truck, it should feel like it was built specifically for you. McKinney, Texas drivers will feel at peace inside the Sierra 1500. The design materials are all high-quality and all your necessary controls are easy to reach. Higher-level trims like the Denali come with a head-up display to keep your eyes on the road and a power-adjustable steering column.
The Toyota Tundra features a modernized interior that's built to get you to and from your destination. There's quality design and fancy features on the upper models, but the Sierra gives every Denison, Texas driver a home away from home.
Lower-level Tundra models receive an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, while about every Sierra model uses a 13.4-inch display at its full disposal. You'll find features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in both trucks, but the Sierra also features built-in Google software that can display your navigation maps, app store, and a voice assistant.
Both trucks come with a suite of safety features to keep you and your family safe on the road. Driver-assistance technology like forward-collision warnings, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warnings are standard in both trucks.
Now's the time to witness what this truck is made of. Stop by Vanguard GMC of Sherman and schedule a future test drive today.
