Power and handling come natural to the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the GMC Sierra 1500. In fact, both models even share the same engines! However, with a slightly higher towing capacity in the Chevy, you can explore more towing opportunities.
The 2023 Silverado 1500 and the Sierra 1500 share the same four powertrains:

Despite these similarities, it begs the question: Which truck can tow more?
As it turns out, that would be the Chevy truck. While the competition is close, the Chevy Silverado can tow 13,300 pounds compared to the GMC Sierra truck's 13,000-pound towing capacity. Although very similar, the Chevy’s added towing power can add a bit more strength to your next towing adventure.
When it comes to payload, the Silverado and the Sierra are on more even ground. The two can each carry over 2,200 pounds in their truck beds—a solid total in the light-duty truck segment. Load up your landscaping supplies or a few dirt bikes for the weekend.
