If you’re looking for a bit of a power boost, though, opt for one of the available engines in the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500…
                                      Engine Option                                                       Horsepower                    Torque (lb-ft)

As you can see, both trucks are unique in their power outputs. Plus, both offer diesel options if you’re looking for a pickup with greater fuel economy for drives with limited gas station stops.

    Tow Your Trailer with Ease

    Choosing a truck means being treated to supreme towing capabilities so that you can haul heavy machinery around your worksite.
    Looking to haul a utility trailer to your construction site or a water ski boat or lightweight camper out for a weekend adventure? The Canyon will get the job done with a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.
    Since the motors in the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 output more torque, you’ll have greater towing capabilities. The GMC Sierra 1500 can tow up to 12,100 pounds! This boost of pulling power is perfect for hauling a two-horse trailer for an out-of-town show or a 25-foot-long camper for a family vacation.

      Room for All Your Work Essentials

      Cargo capacity is another important factor when choosing a new truck. The Sierra 1500 helps you bring along bulky building supplies and heavy tools with a maximum payload capacity of 2,240 pounds.
      The 2020 GMC Canyon, on the other hand, is smaller in stature, helping it be nimbler when navigating worksites. However, this leads to a smaller cargo space and a maximum payload capacity of 1,605 pounds.
      The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 also features a unique six-function MultiPro™ Tailgate. It folds in various directions to make loading, stepping into, and cleaning out your bed easier or create an additional workspace area so that you can work on the move.
      This feature isn’t found on the Canyon, but you’ll still be treated to a remotely controlled tailgate for easier use.
