GMC Sierra 1500HD Review Summary
"Inside, Sierra buyers will find a logically laid-out interior, with easy-to-use dual-zone climate controls and clear, uncluttered gauges."
"Safety is enhanced with dual-stage airbags (1500 only), which deploy with less force in less-severe collisions."
"The steering feels vague on center, but the new Quadrasteer system is amazing in its ability to make this big truck feel small."
"[the Sierra's] stiff structure enhances handling and ride quality immensely, while improving crashworthiness."
"...Sierra offers first-class hauling and towing capabilities."
"the HD is a nice compromise; the work capabilities of the truck are close to those of the 2500-series pickups, and the day-in and day-out livability is just as good as a regular 1500."
What reviewers liked least about the GMC Sierra 1500HD:
"Handling was ungainly, and the ride is stiff."
"[the seats aren't as] comfortable as those in other pickups, which use firmer, more contoured, more supportive seats."
GMC Sierra 1500HD Comparisons:
"Even compared to more recently introduced or re-engineered pickups from Ford, Dodge, and Nissan, the Sierra rides and handles very well."
"Power is provided by the same 6.0-liter V8 that's used in the 2500HD/3500; but the 1500HD should ride more smoothly than the heavy-duty trucks."
"If you don't plan to tow, the Nissan Titan and Dodge Ram are better overall trucks."
"The F-150 trumps the Sierra in terms of ride comfort and interior design, while the Ram and Titan boast superior overall refinement, not to mention outstanding V8s of their own (though neither match the 1500HD's tow rating)."
"The Silverado and Sierra have been upstaged by Ford's newer F-150, but they're still among the most popular trucks going."
Best one-liners about the GMC Sierra 1500HD:
"It's a look that reflects GMC's history of building trucks..."
