If you’re shopping for a new full-size pickup truck in South Carolina, chances are you’ve considered two of America’s most popular trucks: the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500.

Both offer impressive capability, available advanced technology, and the versatility to handle everything from commuting around Columbia to towing a boat for a weekend on Lake Murray.

But which truck is right for you?

At Stokes-Trainor Chevrolet GMC in Newberry, SC, we have a unique advantage: We sell both Chevrolet and GMC. That means our team can help you compare the two trucks without sending you to another dealership.

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a popular choice for drivers who want a capable, versatile pickup with a wide range of configurations.

•    Advanced trailering technology
•    Four-wheel-drive capability
•    Multiple cab and bed configurations

Whether you’re hauling equipment to a jobsite in Lexington, pulling a trailer around Chapin, or commuting into Columbia, the Silverado offers configurations designed for different needs.

The GMC Sierra 1500 shares important engineering with the Silverado but offers its own exterior styling, interior design, and trim-level experience.

 

Depending on configuration, Sierra buyers can enjoy:

•    Available V8 and Duramax diesel powertrains
•    Premium interior appointments
•    Available MultiPro Tailgate
•    Advanced trailering and camera technology

Interior: Both trucks offer comfortable, technology-rich cabins. GMC’s upper trims place particular emphasis on premium materials and luxury features.
