Comfort
The GMC Sierra 1500 offers passengers in its extended cab about the same head- and legroom as the GMC Sierra EV. The GMC Sierra EV offers just a little more head- and legroom than the GMC Sierra 1500, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the GMC Sierra 1500 is a better financial choice over the GMC Sierra EV, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Sierra 1500 is much slimmer than the GMC Sierra EV, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the GMC Sierra 1500, which is slightly longer than the GMC Sierra EV.

Handling
The GMC Sierra 1500 has a significantly larger turning radius than the GMC Sierra EV, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Utility
The GMC Sierra 1500 offers a little more seating capacity than the GMC Sierra EV, making it a better choice for those who often have a crew with them.
