2015 GMC Sierra 1500 review full-size pickup featured in a range of cab with great rating in crash-test safety

The recently overhauled 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 presents among the best hauling and towing numbers of any light-duty full-size truck while returning more beneficial fuel economy and performance. And it features sufficiently ports and connections to transform almost just about any Sierra into a mobile workplace.

The 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup marketed in a range of cab/cargo-bed options in both two- and four-wheel drive. Body styles include typical cab, extended (double) cab and crew cab. Standard cabs can be had with either a 6.5-foot standard bed or an 8-foot bed. Extended cabs have the 6.5-foot standard bed, while crew cabs are presented with either a 5.75-foot short bed or the 6.5-foot standard bed.

The 2015 GMC Sierra comes with three engines: a 4.3-liter V6 that renders 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft, a 5.3-liter V8 that renders 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, and a 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. All Sierra models come with a regular 6-speed automatic, though GM has hinted that an 8-speed may possibly launch midyear for V8 powerplants.

As outlined by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Sierra 1500 reaped an excellent rating in crash-test safety, as well as a great rating in the oh-so-difficult moderate front overlap crash evaluation. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration ranked the Sierra 1500 with a 5-star total rating, as well as a 5-star rating for frontal and side crashes. Rollover crashes were rated at a 4 stars.
