The 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 may be called a “light-duty pickup,” but don’t be fooled by the classification. The 2018 GMC Sierra 1500s for sale near Batavia, Illinois are built to hand tough jobs.

Power, Power and More Power

No matter which of the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500s near Batavia, IL you choose, it’s guaranteed to be powerful.

The base engine is a supersized 4.3-liter V6 that generates 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque -- while also seeing a combined fuel economy over 20 miles per gallon. With just this base engine, the 2018 Sierra 1500 can haul payloads up to 1,880 pounds and trailers as heavy as 7,600 pounds.

The next step up is 5.3-liter V8 that’s bigger and better. While sacrificing fuel economy slightly, this powerhouse maxes out at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet. It’s capable of moving payloads between 1,810 and 2,170 pounds, and trailers between 9,300 and 12,000 pounds. The exact capabilities depend on the truck’s configuration.

For the ultimate in power, there’s a 6.3-liter V8. The behemoth gives 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. That equates to payload capacities between 1,640 and 1,980 pounds, and trailering maximums ranging from 9,000 to 11,700 pounds.

Trailering in the Modern Era

Not only is the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 capable of towing, but it comes with a suite of modern features that make trailering easier than it has been in the past. The standard and available trailering-specific equipment includes:

• trailer sway control
• a rearview trailering camera system
• trailer brake control
• hill descent control
• a locking rear differential
• active fuel management

Active fuel management engages and disengages pistons in the engine based on power and load. The result is a vastly improved fuel efficiency no matter which engine option is installed.

Optional All-Terrain Packages

Because sometimes the job takes you where the road doesn’t go, GMC offers two off-road packages for the 2018 Sierra 1500.

The All Terrain package comes with an underbody shield, a distinct instrument cluster and LED fog lights. For more off-roading performance, the All Terrain XL package has:

• tires rated for mud terrain
• a black sport bar for optional LED lights
• high-performance LED headlights
• 18-inch wheels

This is in addition to the locking rear differential, hill descent control and other features already mentioned.
