Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the average truck is most certainly nimbler than the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid has a bigger engine than the average truck. Keep in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid is considerably more powerful than the average truck.

Utility
There's no obvious winner between the average truck and the Sierra 1500 Hybrid as far as hauling capacity. Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Sierra 1500 Hybrid over the average truck. The average truck is likely a better choice than the Sierra 1500 Hybrid when it comes to hauling capacity, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of loot or large dogs. Towing is considerably more the average truck's forte than it is the Sierra 1500 Hybrid's.

Convenience
The average truck's fuel tank will need to be replenished a tad more often than the unit in the Sierra 1500 Hybrid.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid offers a bit more head room than the typical truck, there really isn't much of a difference. The GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the average truck does.

Dimensions
The GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid is substantially heavier than the typical truck. The GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid's tank is about the same size as the average truck's, though the average truck's is somewhat larger. The average truck and the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid compete for the same parking spaces. The GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the average truck may give a more agile feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the average truck to the dealership as the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid. The average truck pales in comparison to the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid regarding gas mileage. When it comes to MSRP, the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid costs tremendously more than the typical truck.

Warranty
Although the basic after-sale protection that comes with the average truck is slightly longer than the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid's, the difference isn't too significant.
