A FRAME ENGINEERED FOR YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES
Sierra starts with more than just a frame and suspension. It is built from the belief that control and driver comfort go hand in hand. From its sturdy hydroformed, boxed-rail section chassis to its available automatic locking rear differential, every component is engineered with the strength and capability to help you accomplish more every day.
SIERRA ALL-TERRAIN
Sometimes, there aren’t any roads where you’re going. That’s why GMC created Sierra All-Terrain. This package is available on 1500 2WD or 4WD Extended or Crew Cab models with either the 5.3L V-8 VVT or 6.2L V-8 VVT and the famed Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package. Sierra All-Terrain also includes Z82 trailering equipment, Rancho Tenneco shocks and an Eaton automatic locking rear differential for off-road control, while the bold chrome grille, special chrome-clad 18-inch aluminum wheels and All-Terrain emblems set it apart from the rest. All Sierra models feature four-channel antilock brakes for confident stopping in a variety of conditions. Rack-and- pinion steering provides precise performance and an on-center feel. It also offers low-speed assist for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
POWER WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
The Vortec engine family has a well-earned reputation for durability, power and efficiency. These engines are developed using “vortex technology” that swirls and tumbles the incoming air and fuel mixture for enhanced performance and fuel economy. This technology helps deliver torque, smoothness and efficiency with power to spare.
No other full-size pickup offers a wider range of V-8 gas engines. Depending on the Sierra you choose, Vortec power is available in 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L Hybrid and 6.2L displacements, with output that ranges from 302 to 403 hp. This makes it easy to match the engine to the job.
Smooth shifts with excellent control. The 6-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission, standard on all 5.3L and 6.2L V-8 Sierra 1500 Series pickups, has several innovative features for added control and confidence. Driver Shift Control (DSC) lets you select a range of gears to suit variable driving conditions simply by moving the shift lever to “M” and using the convenient tap-up/-down button. Tow/Haul mode raises upshift points to use more of the engine’s power for acceleration, and raises downshift points to use engine braking to slow your Sierra for less noise and harshness. Grade Braking (automatically activated in Tow/Haul mode but disengaged when DSC is activated) senses when you want to slow your Sierra, and if the appropriate conditions are met, implements a Grade Braking shift schedule to help you maintain your desired speed.
READY. WILLING. AND CAPABLE.
Sierra has the capacity to put other pickups on the trailer. Literally. With the available MAX Trailering Package on Extended and Crew Cab models, Sierra can handle up to 10.700 lbs. It includes features tailored for trailering, from the 6.2L V-8 VVT and automatic locking rear differential, to a frame-mounted hitch, complete trailer wiring harness, engine and transmission oil coolers and a trailer brake controller.
YOU CAN’T PREDICT. BUT YOU CAN PREPARE.
With its rugged frame, robust body structure, four-wheel antilock brakes and six months of OnStar security on most vehicles, Sierra surrounds you with overlapping layers of protection that can give you a well-placed sense of confidence. Dual-stage frontal airbags on Sierra models feature sensors that gauge the severity of a crash, and then determine whether to employ one or two levels of inflation, helping to reduce the risk of injury to passengers. Sierra also features a Passenger Sensing System for the outboard front passenger that automatically turns off the air bag if the passenger is under the appropriate weight.
Protection from side impacts. To help protect you in a side-impact collision, Sierra models include standard side-impact air bags mounted on the driver and outside front passenger seat, which provide thorax and pelvic protection for outboard front-seat occupants. Head curtain side-impact air bags are also standard. They unfurl from the roof rail like a protective curtain for outboard passengers and can be activated by either rollover sensors or side-impact sensors.
Automatic Crash Response. To relay critical details in the event of a crash, built-in sensors can automatically send an alert to OnStar. An Advisor is immediately connected to your vehicle to see if you need help. Even if you can’t respond, the Advisor can use GPS technology to send emergency responders to your exact location. Now, you can get help even if you can’t ask for it.
