As Serious as Pickup Engineering Gets

At GMC, we take the words "professional grade" very, very seriously. We engineer every Sierra to meet the highest standards. The result is a family of hard-working, highly capable trucks that our customers can rely on to deliver years of reliable service. When you really know your trucks, a professional-grade Sierra is what you drive.

Vortec^TM Power To Spare: Vortec^TM engines are known both for their efficient power generation and their proven reliability. The name Vortec^TM refers to the vortex technology that swirls and tumbles incoming air and fuel for optimum power and response. The Sierra 1500 Vortec^TM engine lineup includes everything from a frugal 4.3L V6 to a 6.2L V8 that pumps out 403 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque.

Engine Management - The Key To Fuel Efficiency: The Vortec^TM 5.3L V8 features Active Fuel Management^® that shuts down four of eight cylinders when power demands are low. Variable Valve Timing (VVT) adjusts valve open and close timing, delivering near-peak torque across the entire range of engine speeds. Sierra XFE achieves 13.7 L/100 km city and 9.1 L/100 km highway ratings. That's significantly better than the comparable Ford F-150 V8-powered pickup.*

Hook Up With Confidence: Sierra is engineered to handle a trailer with ease. Beyond its Vortec^TM power and solid frame, Sierra includes these standard trailering features: trailer sway control that keeps your truck and trailer heading in the proper direction automatically and a Tow/Haul mode that reduces shifting to maintain optimal power and torque. The available MAX Trailering Package adds the 403 hp Vortec^TM 6.2L V8, in addition to a heavy-duty 241 mm (9.5-in.) ring gear in the rear differential, heavy-duty external engine oil and transmission oil cooling systems, an Eaton^® automatic locking rear differential and a weight-distributing hitch. This increases the towing capacity up to a massive 4,854 kg (10,700 lb).

Part Electric, Part Gas, All Professional Grade: The Two-Mode Hybrid System is the only hybrid powertrain technology available in the full-size pickup class. It can run on Vortec^TM V8 gasoline power alone, electric power alone, or a combination of the two. The system includes a 300-volt nickel-metal hydride Energy Storage System (ESS), an Electronically Variable Transmission (EVT) and regenerative braking. They help Sierra Hybrid achieve a city rating of 10.1 L/100 km – less than the Toyota Camry V6 and the Ford Fusion V6.** Yet the Sierra Hybrid offers Professional Grade capability, with a maximum trailering capacity of 2,767 kg (6,100 lb).

The Ultimate Sierra: More stylish. More capable. More luxurious. That's the formula that places Sierra 1500 Denali at the very peak of full-size pickups. Styling cues include a Denali-signature honeycomb chrome grille and 20" chromed aluminum wheels. The mechanical package includes the 403 hp Vortec^TM 6.2L V8, plus the sophisticated all-weather traction of full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The luxury is revealed by features like heated and cooled front bucket seats, a heated steering wheel and a Bose^® Premium sound system with a six-disc CD changer. The most: Sierra 1500 Denali.

You're On Solid Terrain: Not every truck is engineered to stand up to the punishment of off-road driving. Take Sierra 1500 and add the available All Terrain or Off-Road Packages and you have a truck that can stand up to Canada's most severe terrain. Features include a Z71 Off-Road suspension, an industry-exclusive Eaton^® automatic locking rear differential, extended-travel Rancho^® shock absorbers and a skid plate package. The styling is also more rugged when you select the Sierra Off-Road Package that includes a dramatic body-coloured grille and sparkling 20" chrome-clad aluminum wheels. Set your own course – with the Sierra All Terrain and Off-Road Packages.
