The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 is here…but how does it fare against the competition?
If you're anything like drivers around the greater Houston, TX area, then the only kind of vehicle you want to drive is a pickup truck.

You want something that's not just great for daily driving in the metro area, but something you can take on rugged off-road adventures. You want something like the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4.
As the GMC brand's premier full-size pickup, the new GMC Sierra 1500 has been a magnet for critical acclaim and accolades for years now. But while it's power, style, and towing prowess have never been called into question, a lot o drivers from The Woodlands to Spring, TX have been hoping for a dedicated off-roading trim for this model for quite some time now. The new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 is geared up to be just that.
However, while the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 is set to be a high-water mark for the new GMC truck portfolio here at our Conroe, TX dealership, it's not without competition from other off-road pickups at dealerships around the greater Houston and Huntsville, TX areas. So, if you're weighing your options as to which new off-road truck is best for you, we'd love to help you explore with our competitive comparison of the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 and its closest rivals, the Ram 1500 Rebel and the Ford F-150 Raptor.
Pricing
Now, let's start with the obvious: What's it going to cost you to get behind the wheel of one of these off-road pickup trucks? Well, while auto prices can fluctuate in today's market, we strive to keep our pricing competitive here at Wiesner Buick GMC, even with exceptionally sought-after models like the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4.
That being said, if you look into the pricing of available Ford F-150 Raptor models, you'll find they're quite a bit pricier. In fact, the new Ford F-150 Raptor has a starting MSRP of $68,675, which is thousands more than that of the new GMC Sierra 1500.
Performance
When it comes to off-road pickup trucks, ample power is of the utmost importance. In that regard, the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 excels. Equipped your choice of a 6.2-liter V8 gas engine or a stout 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel engine, the new GMC Sierra 1500 can output up to 420 horsepower with the former or tow up to 13,200 pounds with the latter. That means the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 offers much more horsepower than the Ram 1500 Rebel, which only offers 395 horsepower, and it absolutely eclipses the 8,200-pound towing capacity of the new Ford F-150 Raptor.
On top of all that the new GMC Sierra 1500 offers much more equipment than many of its rivals to enhance your off-road driving experience, including an automatic locking rear differential, off-road-tuned Rancho® mono-tube shocks, and even a 2-inch factory-installed suspension lift, helping it to conquer everything from muddy terrain to rock crawling with the confidence of a mountain goat.
