IS THE 2025 GMC SIERRA EV FINALLY THE FIRST ELECTRIC TRUCK THAT TOWS AS WELL AS GAS OR DIESEL?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali aims to redefine electric truck capability, particularly in towing. While it boasts impressive power figures (760 hp, 785 lb-ft torque) and a comfortable, tech-laden interior with a massive 16.8-inch screen, its towing prowess is met with mixed reactions. The reviewer notes the truck's stability while towing a 5,500 lb trailer, aided by four-wheel steer and a "tow haul mode." However, a significant drawback is the lack of dedicated tow mirrors, with the standard mirrors struggling to provide adequate visibility for a wide trailer. The reviewer also highlights the truck's impressive "crab walk" feature and its ability to power external devices and trailers via its onboard power export. Despite the impressive specs and features, the reviewer concludes that a true long-distance towing range test is still needed, leaving the ultimate verdict on its gas/diesel towing parity pending further real-world evaluation. The reviewer also points out the high starting price for the Denali trim.
