The recently overhauled 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 releases the finest hauling and towing numbers of any light-duty full-size truck while returning improved fuel economy and performance. And it offers sufficient ports and connections to modify almost any type of Sierra into a mobile workplace.

The 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup sold in several cab/cargo-bed designs in both two- and four-wheel drive. Body models include standard cab, extended (double) cab and crew cab. Regular 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 can be found with either a 5.75-foot short bed or the 6.5-foot standard bed.

The 2015 GMC Sierra has three engines: a 4.3-liter V6 that makes 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 which makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. All Sierra models include a normal 6-speed automatic, though GM has hinted that an 8-speed may well debut midyear for V8 powerplants.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Sierra 1500 gained a Good rating in crash-test safety, together with a Good rating in the oh-so-difficult moderate front overlap crash test. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration regarded the Sierra 1500 with a 5-star in general rating, including a 5-star rating for frontal and side crashes. Rollover crashes were rated at a 4 stars.
