Specialty Vehicles Engineering (SVE) has debuted its first-ever Sport Edition variant of the GMC Sierra HD. The 2025 Sport Edition Sierra HD Off-Road is a supercharged full-size pickup with 1,000 horsepower and many other upgrades and options that improve its on-road performance and off-road capability. It’s available for the Sierra 2500 or Sierra 3500 in Double Cab and Crew Cab configurations, but 4-wheel drive is required, and you can’t get one as a dually.
Under the hood lies a supercharged 6.8L V8, which appears to be a bored-out version of a 6.2L V8 L87 like the one in the 1,000-hp variant of SVE’s Sport Edition GMC Sierra. Other engine upgrades, in addition to the supercharger system, include a forged 4340 steel crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons, upgraded cylinder heads, an upgraded fuel system, and a Boost-By-Wire control system. It’s available with either a 91-octane or 93-octane calibration, making it easier to find premium pump gas that works with the truck.
The performance upgrades don’t stop with the engine. This truck also has a stainless steel cat-back dual exhaust system, 8-piston front brakes, a heavy-duty rear sway bar assembly, and Nitto off-road performance tires. An optional BDS 5-inch lift kit with Fox performance shocks and 35-inch tires is available.
A few exterior upgrades that enhance the truck’s personality include Sport Edition badging on the fenders and tailgate, “Off Road” graphics on the bed, and “1000HP” badges on the cowl and tailgate. Step inside, and you’ll find Sport Edition branding on the floor mats, seats, and sill plates.
On models with factory chrome exterior trim, SVE can offer body-color bumpers, door handles, and black window trim. Another extra option is retractable side steps, which would be handy if you opt for the 5-inch lift kit.
SVE has been offering upgrade packages for the GMC Sierra 1500 for years, but this is the first time performance truck buyers can get a Sport Edition GMC Sierra HD. As for the 1500, SVE offers a Sport Edition Lowered model for the slammed, sporty look, and there’s the Sport Edition Off-Road with a lift kit, beefy tires, and a sport bar with auxiliary lighting. Sport Edition GMC Yukon and Yukon XL variants are also available.

Beautiful truck. Wish I could afford it.
Put this supercharged 6.8L V8, 1000HP Engine in the Silverado EV and watch sales take off. I’m ready to buy!
George: You mentioned in several places that these trucks are available but you probably should give GMC Motor Co a call and let them know. While your the phone, find out when I can order? How many will be made and how much they will cost?
How many of this limited Sports Edition will be available and what is the price of this beast? Is it coupled with the 10 spd trans?
Are all of the Edition 4wd? Is there like a lowered crew cab short box AWD 1000HP ?
I might be interested in a new GMC Sierra 1000
HP f the price is Right let me know what their selling for.
The base price starts at $96k, on top of the truck price. I can do a whole lot to mine for 1/4 of the cost
All this for the lifters and cam to leave the chat. I’ll pass.
