The interior comes equipped with an advanced infotainment system, complete with a large touchscreen display, intuitive controls, and seamless smartphone integration with applications including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available Wi-Fi capability. Nevertheless, the truck's cabin has more to offer than its technical ability, with high-quality comfort features to make every drive relaxing. Here, drivers can utilize the heated front driver and passenger seats, dual-zone climate control, and premium seating options. As well as flexible folding seats and additional storage, convenience is just one of the many aspects the Sierra 1500 has to offer.

The GMC Sierra 1500 is a powerful truck that can handle the toughest jobs. With four available engine options, drivers have the ability to personalize their drive. The standard 2.7L Turbo High-Output engine produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft of torque. The more robust and best-in-class enhanced 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine can produce up to 305 horsepower and 495 lb.-ft of torque to help accomplish heavy-duty tasks.

  On the other end of the spectrum for rugged pickup trucks, the 2023 RAM 1500 has a starting price of $37,410, making it a prime competitor to the Sierra 1500. While plenty of features resemble the competition, there are certain areas the RAM 1500 is missing that provide further assistance on the road.
The 2023 RAM 1500 has various technology features to take advantage of, most notably the 12-inch touchscreen with the available Uconnect 5 NAV system. Within it, drivers can access standard smartphone applications, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with available technologies to help bring convenience on the road with the 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot. Additionally, with the help of the redesigned interior, everyone can experience a pleasant ride. These features include heated and ventilated seating, various seating trims, and a panoramic sunroof.
The safety behind the RAM 1500 competes heavily with the GMC Sierra 1500 due to its exclusive systems. While on the road, drivers will be equipped with stability control, blind spot awareness, rear cross path detection, forward collision warning, and more to help bring convenience on the road. Additionally, the interior comes equipped with six airbags, like the Sierra 1500. Nevertheless, unlike its competitor, the RAM 1500 does not offer the same emergency response system OnStar can provide drivers, leaving those at a higher risk when met with an emergency.
The RAM 1500 equips drivers with different options like the GMC Sierra 1500. Standard with the base model, the 5.7 Hemi V8 engine can produce 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft of torque, while the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine can produce 260 horsepower and 480 lb.-ft of torque. While the truck's engine competes closely, drivers are limited in adapting with only three drive modes within the Selec-Speed Control panel. Nevertheless, the truck features an air suspension system to reduce drag and provide a smoother ride wherever the truck may travel.
