GMC Offers a Lower Price and Increased Range for the 2025 Sierra EV

The GMC Sierra EV has only been on sale for a short time, but it’s getting a notable change as it heads into the 2025 model year. GMC recently said that the 2025 model year truck will come in two versions with up to 460 miles of range, and the automaker gave the truck a slightly lower price.


The base 2025 GMC Sierra EV offers 390 miles of range, while the Max Range model delivers up to 460 miles, though it’s worth noting those are GM’s estimates, not the EPA’s. That’s a 20-mile improvement over the 2024 Edition 1 models, though the cheaper base model makes a stronger case.


The Sierra EV starts at $91,995, several thousand dollars less than the Edition 1’s $97,500 starting price. The top Max Range model will start at $100,495 after destination, slightly higher than the outgoing range-topping trim, but likely worth it for some buyers, given the additional range over last year’s truck.

With a base price over $90,000, it’s hard to celebrate the Sierra EV too hard, but it kind of makes sense, taken in context with the Chevy Silverado EV. That truck gets an entry-level Work Truck trim, and while it’s also available in a maxed-out, high-price flagship variant, the more basic trims offer a lower price and still-strong specs. If you want more luxury, spring for the GMC, but both trucks easily surpass $100,000 with a few options and accessories.

    The Iphone of trucks. And in case I'm not being clear this vehicle is likely to be useless and worthless after 3 to 5 years

    Oh, look, a less expensive, more capable American vehicle. No surprise that the TTAC commentariat hate it.

      @VoGhost - I'm guessing you are just really starved for attention and make ridiculous comments like the one above to get attention & reaction out of commenters. This battery truck doesn't offer both better affordability & increased capability over its gas counterpart. Not even close. That's exactly the opposite of what it offers.
  • Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
  • Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
  • Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
  • Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
