Joining the lineup in 1999, the GMC Sierra 1500 quickly rose to the top of the leaderboard. Year after year this pickup truck continues to improve and gain in popularity among a wide variety of consumers. Affordable, handsome, and athletic, the 2021 Sierra 1500 is fully capable and fully equipped.
1. Power Production
Each of the available engine options for the Sierra 1500 generates immense power. This light-duty pickup truck sets the pace for the others in its class by earning multiple honors and recognition for its substantial power production.
Five different engine options create this truck’s powertrain lineup. With multiple cylinders ranging from six to eight, the range of production is 285-420 horsepower. You can further customize your experience with the choice of 6-, 8-, and 10-speed transmission pairings. The available 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel engine generates up to 460 lb.-ft of torque and best-in-class horsepower, making it the only truck in its class to offer a performance of this stamina.
2. Fuel Efficiency
Typically, trucks are known for their strength and abilities, not for their fuel economy. But with its many engine varieties, the Sierra 1500 offers an impressive range of fuel efficiency ratings. As a daily commuting vehicle, the diesel engine achieves up to 30 mpg highway, which is unheard of for a truck of this caliber.
3. MultiPro tailgate
The MultiPro tailgate is GMC’s answer to our ever-changing lifestyles. This innovative tailgate is essentially two tailgates in one, which can be positioned in many different ways. The primary gate is a traditional option, hinged for conventional use. The inner tailgate is a smaller, hinged gate that sits within the primary panel itself.
Using these two tailgates together by raising and lowering them in various configurations makes for adaptability with anything you’re hauling in the bed. It can be set up to act as a step, truck bed extension, inner gate load stop, work surface, and so much more. With this incredibly well-designed and durable new feature, your tailgate just got a whole lot more useful.
4. Impressive Hauling and Payload
The Sierra 1500 seems to have limitless towing and payload capacity with the number of additional features and packages among the various trim levels. But even at the base model, this light-duty pickup keeps up with one-ton trucks. The Sierra 1500 has a base model that can haul up to 12,200 pounds and can handle a payload of up to 2,240 pounds. It only goes up from there, making the possibilities of this truck seemingly endless.
The Sierra 1500 has stayed a best-seller for every generation produced by GMC. Now, even bolder than before, this vehicle demands attention and craves adventure. It is everything you’re looking for in a truck with its powerful and athletic abilities under the hood and its luxurious and multi-faceted features in the cabin.
