Performance

When equipped with the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine, the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 has the best horsepower in its class.[1] The diesel engine comes with 277 horsepower, plus a whopping 460 lb-ft of torque to achieve the professional performance you expect from GMC.

The Ford F-150, on the other hand, has a less powerful diesel option. The 3.0-liter Power Stroke Turbo Diesel gets 250 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. Ford is dropping this option from the 2022 F-150, leaving the truck with no diesel engine option at all.

Spaciousness

Inside the 2021 Sierra 1500, you’ll find plenty of room for the whole crew, including best-in-class Crew Cab front head and leg room of 43.03 inches and 44.53 inches respectively. High-quality materials and comfortable leather-appointed seating round out the luxurious, sound-absorbing interior.

To compare, the SuperCrew cab on the F-150 only offers 40.8 inches of front head room and 43.9 inches of front leg room, which can make a huge difference for taller drivers and passengers.

Truck Bed

When it comes to truck beds, the GMC Sierra 1500 reigns supreme. Crew Cab models have a cargo volume of 62.9 cubic feet, while Double Cab models offer 71.7 cubic feet and Regular Cab models offer 89.1 cubic feet. The F-150 falls short with a range of 52.8-77.4 cubic feet depending on the cab style.

Additionally, the 2021 Sierra 1500 comes with the world’s first six-function MultiPro™ tailgate. With the touch of a button, you can open the main tailgate and break it down into five other modes. You can choose from an extended load stop for extra-long objects, a step that supports up to 375 pounds, an inner gate that folds down to allow easier access into the bed, a double-tier storage mode for two levels of loading, and a work bench. The F-150’s tailgate simply can’t compare.
