The
GMC Sierra represents the latest in full-size
pickup engineering, along with its mechanical twin, the
Chevrolet Silverado. Both trucks do everything better than pickups did even a few years ago. They ride, handle, and stop more like cars. Yet they can pull more and haul more than ever before. Updated engines have made them fast and powerful. Inside, the Sierra is one of the most luxurious pickups we've ever driven, setting new standards for quietness, plush appointments, and solid construction.
But while GMC pickups of the recent past have been virtual Chevrolet clones, the GMC Sierra breaks away, in style at least, from Chevy's understated Silverado. Sierra sports a unique grille, hood, fenders, fascia, bumpers and headlamps. Like the best GMC designs of the '30s, '40s, and '50s, this one is bolder than the contemporary Chevy, a sharper-dressed cousin with more attitude.
