GMC Sierra
2019 GMC Sierra AT4
The GMC Sierra is the twin of the Chevrolet Silverado, and these mechanically similar autos are both known for their dependability. The Sierra and Silverado took over from the Chevrolet C/K pickup in 1998, with the first generation beginning for the 1999 model year. The Sierra is built to be tough and stand the test of time, earning good ratings for reliability. It also comes with a competitive warranty with three years or 36,000 miles of coverage, plus five years or 60,000 miles of coverage for the powertrain. That warranty shows that GMC is confident in the vehicle, which is a good indication of the auto’s reliability.
2018 GMC Sierra
The latest 2019 version of the GMC Sierra lets you choose from familiar engines and a new option. At its debut, it offered a 355-horsepower 3.5-liter V8 engine and a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8. There will also be a gas V6, a turbodiesel 6-cylinder, and a turbocharged 4-cylinder joining the lineup. The Sierra uses an 8- or 10-speed automatic transmission that shifts invisibly. When configured correctly, the GMC Sierra will tow 12,200 pounds or haul up to 2,240 pounds in the truck bed.
Some of the new features for the 2019 model year should make the Sierra even more appealing, including the extra interior space that helps rear-seat passengers get comfortable. GMC is also offering a carbon-fiber bed that is lighter yet tougher than rivals and unlike anything else you will find on competitors. There is also a new tailgate with two pieces that will prove incredibly useful. It can swing as well as fold in two separate sections. The versatility also lets the tailgate become a bench seat or hold a longer payload in place.
Every new GMC Sierra comes with a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. The Denali trim is particularly appealing with its top-of-the-line luxury feel thanks to heated rear seats, Bose audio, cooled front seats, Wi-Fi capabilities, and trailer camera display. Much of the advanced safety tech offered on the Sierra is still only available on top trims or require paying extra, but you can get adaptive cruise control, active lane control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. Other available features include 10-way power front bucket seats, a center console with enough space for a laptop, wireless smart charging, a dozen cargo tie-downs, LED bed lighting, a cast-in footstep by the bed corners, and movable tie-downs.
