Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2012 GMC Sierra sports a new four-bar grille and offers heated and cooling seats on the SLT trim. StabilitTrak stability control gains Trailer Sway Control and hill start assist, while cruise control is made standard on the Work Truck. The 2012 GMC Sierra Denali truck gains heated and cooling front seats, a heated steering wheel and a rear backup camera.
The 4.8-liter, 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8 engines are now E85 Flex-Fuel compatible; the 4.8- and 5.3-liter engines also gain variable valve timing. New standard features on all 1500 models include side-curtain and front seat-mounted side-impact airbags as well as StabiliTrak stability control. New available features include a USB port on all but the base radio, a six-speed automatic transmission on Regular and Extended Cab models with the 5.3-liter engine and greater availability of the rear backup camera option.
The 2009 GMC Sierra Hybrid is a powerful full-size pickup that can deliver 40 percent better city and 25 percent better overall fuel economy compared to its conventional counterparts without sacrificing full-size truck capabilities, which include a 1,459-pound maximum payload and a 6,100-pound towing capacity. Teaming GM's sophisticated Two-Mode Hybrid system with a 332-horsepower aluminum 6.0-liter gasoline V8, it can operate battery-only up to 30 mph, yet drives like any other large pickup under most conditions. Most importantly, it consumes significantly less fuel at both city and highway speeds and even when fully loaded or towing. With EPA economy ratings of 21/22 city/highway mpg with two-wheel-drive and 20/20 city/highway mpg with four-wheel-drive, its 26-gallon fuel tank can deliver a range of 500 miles or more.

"I got a 2008 work truck with rubber floormats and manual windows and locks. The truck drives great, is very quiet, and gets 20mpg on the highway all day long. I've had no problems with anything in the first 3 years of ownership. My only complaint is that parts of the interior feel cheap, but I did get the base W/T. No rattles or squeeks though. The only options I have are cruise, XM Radio, A/C, and the Eaton Diff. I got the SL exterior appearance package, and I get compliments on my truck all the time. It looks like a $35k truck. You can't beat a brand new truck for $20k that has a 100,000 mi. warranty on the drivetrain."

"I own the 5.3L V8 Crew Cab, with the Texas edition package, convenience package and the back up camera. I have put around 3000 miles on it and so far I have not had buyers remorse. It is a beautiful truck if you appreciate these newer, bulkier designs (which I do). The engine is very responsive and has plenty of get-up-and-go. The handling is amazing and the turning radius is better than I have ever seen from a full size truck. The size of the vehicle does make the truck somewhat difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, but if you aren't willing to learn how to handle a vehicle like that, then perhaps a full size truck isn't for you. The only thing I may have done differently would be to get a HD Duramax, and/or a 4x4. For a truck that isn't meant to be a farm truck, the power is great. There are plenty of options to fit your preference/wallet. The new Ford's are very appealing as well, however I feel that the cost for the quality is much better with the GMC/Chevy's. You get what you pay for either way, however and both trucks are very high quality this year. It's also a GMC branded vehicle, so you can hold that over the head of your buddy who owns a Silverado (kidding of course)."
