2015 GMC Sierra 1500 review full-size pickup given in many different cab with best rating in crash-test safety

The recently overhauled 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 gives you among the best hauling and towing numbers of any light-duty full-size truck while returning more effective fuel economy and performance. And it offers enough ports and connections to switch almost all the Sierra into a mobile workplace.

The 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup for sale in a range of cab/cargo-bed settings in both two- and four-wheel drive. Body versions include standard cab, extended (double) cab and crew cab. Regular cabs come with either a 6.5-foot standard bed or an 8-foot bed. Extended cabs go with 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 has three engines: a 4.3-liter V6 that makes 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft, a 5.3-liter V8 that makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, and a 6.2-liter V8 which makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. All Sierra models provide a regular 6-speed automatic, though GM has hinted that an 8-speed may possibly come out midyear for V8 powerplants.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Sierra 1500 deserved an excellent rating in crash-test safety, together with a great rating in the oh-so-difficult moderate front overlap crash evaluation. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration evaluated the Sierra 1500 with a 5-star general rating, this includes a 5-star rating for frontal and side crashes. Rollover crashes were rated at a 4 stars.
