The 2025 GMC Sierra EV sticks with a single trim: the high-end Denali. Other versions, such as the off-road-focused AT4 and the mid-range Elevation, are on their way, but they won't hit the market until 2026. Here's what to expect from the Denali. Range and Charging With just one trim on offer, your first real decision is range. You can go with the Extended Range battery, which is good for an estimated 390 miles, or step up to the available Max Range, which returns 460 miles of range per charge. Fast charging is standard on both versions, with support for up to 350 kW. Find a plug that powerful, and you can add around 100 miles of range in ten minutes. Performance The Sierra EV Denali has front and rear electric motors, so it's all-wheel drive right out of the gate. The Max Range variant puts down 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque when switched to Max Power Mode. That's enough to launch it from zero to sixty mph in just 4.5 seconds. Even in normal mode, you've still got up to 400 horsepower on tap, which is more than enough for daily duty. The vehicle also comes with air ride adaptive suspension that can raise or lower the truck by about two inches, four-wheel steering for low-speed agility, and a handful of drive modes that change how it feels on the road. There's also a regenerative braking system with a one-pedal driving feature, so lifting off the accelerator slows the truck almost like you're hitting the brakes. Trucking Capability GMC estimates that the 2025 Sierra EV can provide a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. To help you do it easily and safely, it comes with the ProGrade Trailering System. That means you get an integrated trailer brake controller, a hitch-view camera, and tire pressure sensors for your trailer. Out back, there's the ever-handy MultiPro Midgate, which lets you extend your 6-foot bed to nearly 11 feet long. Everyday Livability As a fully loaded model, the Denali is expectedly generous with amenities. Its front and back seats outstretch even a Mercedes-Benz S-Class in legroom, shoulder room, and headroom. Leather covers just about everything, and the front seats are not only comfy, but also dressed up with detailed embroidery and quilted patterns. You'll also find a head-up display, a panoramic roof, a 16.8-inch display, a Bose sound system, and GM's industry-leading Super Cruise hands-free driving system. The latter is a huge help since it works even when you're towing a trailer. To know more about the 2025 Sierra EV, reach out to schedule test drive with King Florence GMC.

Driving on worn-out tires is extremely risky; it's crucial to judge the right moment for replacements. Here are seven clear warning signs that it's time to visit your GMC dealership for new tires. Worn-Out Treads Tires start off with about 10/32 or 11/32 of an inch in tread depth. This slowly wears down until the treads are no longer deep enough to maintain proper traction on slippery surfaces. You should have your tires replaced by the time the treads reach 2/32 of an inch in depth, which is the legal minimum. If you drive a larger pickup for commercial purposes, the minimum legal limit may be 4/32 of an inch. Check if your truck meets the criteria for these limits. Strange Wear Patterns Unequal weighting at the front and rear of your truck or SUV will put extra pressure on certain tires, which makes them wear unevenly. This is why you need routine tire rotations. However, if your tires become excessively uneven, you may need to replace them instead. Noise and Vibrations Bad tires will roughen your ride considerably. If your ordinarily smooth, quiet GMC is vibrating more than usual and generating more road noise, check the tires; they could be worn out. This extra roughness and friction will also diminish your fuel efficiency. Deep Punctures Serious damage usually ruins a tire. The hole made by a deeply embedded object or puncture might be reparable. But if the hole is too big, jagged, or awkwardly positioned, the tire will have to go. Large Gashes Sharp objects on the road can gash tire rubber. Any long, deep gashes may have done too much harm to the tire's structural integrity, especially if the gash is in a sidewall where the rubber is thinner. Bulges or Blisters Following a heavy impact with a pothole, curb, or other obstacle, always check your tires for bulges. A bulge or blister could indicate severe internal damage, causing air to become trapped under the upper layer of rubber. Aging Tires Most tires last from three to five years. If your tires have reached five years old, consider replacing them, even if they appear to be in good shape. Older tires are far more likely to become damaged or fail.
