GMC Sierra Overview
GMC Sierra 1500 Towing Capabilities
There’s also a 1.7 m (5-ft. 8-in.) welded steel cargo box out back to handle your payload, and Sierra Crew Cab is rated to tow up to 4808 kg (10,600 lb.) when equipped with the available MAX Trailering Package. Add a couple of thoughtful options – like a power sliding rear window and an EZ Lift tailgate that you can operate with one finger – and you’ve got a truck that does it all.
It's Not Just an Extended Cab
When it comes to function, Sierra Extended Cab punches way above its weight. There’s a choice of 2 m (6-ft. 6-in.) and 2.4 m (8-ft.) cargo boxes, both measuring almost 1.3 m (51-in.) between the wheelhousings, so they easily take a 4’ x 8’ sheet of building material. The box also features designed-in provisions for vertical partitions and two-tier loading, so it’s easy to divide cargos of different types. Extended Cab’s interior is almost as clever as the business end. There are storage compartments almost everywhere you look. The rear windows lower all the way into the doors, for optimal ventilation.* And the rear doors open a full 170 degrees for easier entry and exit.

GMC Sierra 1500 Fuel Efficiency
Looking for Canada’s most fuel-efficient V8 pickup? You’ve come to the right place. Equipped with the available XFE Fuel Economy Package, the very capable Sierra SLE Crew Cab uses just 13.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and a mere 9.1 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. That’s less than many competitors’ mid-size pickups with six-cylinder engines yet XFE-equipped models don’t skimp on power. Under the hood lies a genuine 326-horsepower 5.3-litre Vortec V8 with fuel-saving technologies like Active Fuel Management® (AFM), Variable Valve Timing and a six-speed automatic transmission. Also included are an Enhanced Cooling Package, a Z85 heavy-duty suspension and stylish 17-inch aluminum wheels.
GMC Sierra 1500 Safety
Stabilitrak - Sierra’s standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system automatically helps correct lateral skids, usually before the driver realizes they’ve begun. Electronic stability control systems like StabiliTrak have been proven to reduce fatal single-vehicle light truck crashes by 63%.
Front Crush Zone - In a serious frontal impact, the front sections of Sierra 1500’s hydroformed frame rails are designed to crumple in a controlled fashion to help dissipate dangerous crash energy before it reaches the passenger compartment.
Dual-Stage Front Air Bags - To help reduce your risk of injury, Sierra 1500’s air bags adjust their force of deployment based on the severity of the impact. In addition, sensors in the front passenger seat measure the weight of the seat’s occupant and disable the front air bag automatically if it detects a child or a smaller adult.
Side-Impact Head Curtain Air Bags - In certain side impacts or rollover situations, the head curtain side-impact air bags unfurl from the roof rail and act like a protective curtain for the occupants of the outboard seats in both the front and rear rows.
Seat-Mounted Side-Impact Air Bags - Driver and right front passenger seats are fitted with seat-mounted side-impact air bags for additional thorax and pelvic protection.
GMC Sierra Rear Parking Assist - available on Sierra SLE and SLT Extended and Crew Cab models, the rear parking assist system uses ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles behind the truck and alerts you to their presence via audible signals.
