The GMC Sierra 1500 offers fuel economy, capability and performance in a broad lineup that includes everything from job-ready Work Truck to the well-appointed Denali. It is available in a wide array of bed sizes, wheelbases, drive types and cab sizes, and trim levels.
There are four engine sizes to choose from: 4.3-liter V6, 4.8-liter V8, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8; and two transmissions: a four-speed automatic and a six-speed automatic. Properly equipped, the Sierra 1500 can provide a payload capacity of up to 1957 lbs and tow up to 10,700 lbs. A wide variety of suspension, towing, entertainment, comfort and convenience packages are available.
The GMC Sierra 1500 is visually unchanged from 2009, but the 4.8L engine is now flexible-fuel, air conditioning and electronic stability control are now standard on the Work Truck trim, and overhead curtain airbags are now standard on all trims. New audio systems feature audio-DVD and USB ports.
