2016 GMC Sierra Named Texas Truck Showdown Towing Champion

When you’re looking for top fuel economy and towing prowess, there aren’t a lot of trucks that can handle both qualifications. That’s a big part of the reason that 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 was named Texas Truck Showdown Towing Champion. Not only could it take first place against its rivals in straight towing, but it also delivered consistently excellent low fuel consumption numbers.

In the 2016 Texas Truck Showdown, editors from Cars.com, Pickuptrucks.com and MrTruck.com examined the 2016 GMC Sierra against rivals like the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra. Even stacked against this impressive company, the Sierra excelled in both towing and economy.
