SMART. VERY SMART.
At GMC, trucks are what we do. We’ve spent a century building hard-working,
professional-grade vehicles for some of the most demanding customers on
the planet. And for 2010, everything we’ve learned is right there in our Sierra
family of full-size pickups. If you’re in search of the most available torque
in a heavy-duty pickup, you’ll find it in a Sierra. You’ll also find outstanding
fuel efficiency here. And the most available power in a half-ton. And the
only hybrid drive system available in any pickup.* In short, no matter what
your requirements might be, you’ll find a Sierra that exceeds them. Sierra.
Professional grade from the roof to the road, it’s your smart choice. |

CAPABILITY THAT DOESN’T QUIT.
When it comes to handling passengers and cargo at the same time, Sierra Crew Cabs perform to the highest standards. Their cabins are refined, well equipped and comfortable for crews of up to six, and payload ratings range all the way up to a massive 2266 kg (4996 lb.).* Should your plans include hard-core off-road work, the available All Terrain Package deserves serious consideration. It features such robust components as a Z71 off-road suspension, an automatic locking rear differential, extended-travel Rancho® shock absorbers and skid plates to protect your truck’s underbody from rocks, debris and the like. Other highlights include specific on/off road tires, fog lights and a variety of style upgrades inside and out. |

BOSS TRUCK.
Sierra Denali is as stylish as they come and luxurious to the core. But make
no mistake: when there’s a job to be done, Sierra Denali is all business, with
performance capabilities that few other trucks can match. Full-time all- wheel
drive is standard, along with a 403 horsepower Vortec 6.2L V8 and a six-speed
automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control. All this robust technology
makes Sierra Denali an outstanding tow vehicle, rated to handle trailers up to
4218 kg (9300 lb.). On the inside, Sierra Denali offers the best of everything –
heated leather-appointed seats, power adjustable pedals, a superb Bose®
speaker system and much more. Sierra Denali has a look all its own, too, with
a dramatic full-chrome grille, chrome-accented bodyside mouldings and 20-inch
chrome aluminum wheels. Sierra Denali. Show them who’s boss. |

THE MOST ADVANCED PICKUP IN THE WORLD.
By any standard, Sierra Hybrid is an incredible achievement. Sierra Hybrid is a genuine full-size GMC Crew Cab pickup with comfortable seating for a crew of six, a rugged, welded steel cargo box and a ball hitch trailer rating of 2767 kg (6100 lb.).* It also has the best city fuel efficiency rating of any pickup in Canada regardless of size.** In fact, Sierra Hybrid consumes less fuel in city driving than many family sedans.** Making this feat possible is some of the most impressive engineering in the industry, including a 300-volt nickel-metal hydride Energy Storage System (ESS), an advanced Electronically Variable Transmission (EVT) and a regenerative braking system that captures energy during braking so that it can be used for reacceleration. Thanks to these high-tech features, Sierra Hybrid can operate at speeds of up to 48 kilometers per hour without consuming any gas at all, and at higher speeds the efficiency of the standard 332-horsepower 6.0-litre V8 is dramatically enhanced. Sierra Hybrid. Welcome to the future. |

HAVE IT YOUR WAY.
To help you get exactly the truck you need, Sierra offers you a choice of two
distinct interior design treatments. Choose a Sierra WT or SLE and your
new truck will feature a spacious, attractive cabin designed with an eye for
practicality and on-the-job durability. Or opt for a Sierra SLT or Denali and
experience a luxury-inspired interior with leather-appointed seats, premium
instrument panel and all the comforts and conveniences you have come
to expect and more. Regardless of the model you choose, you and your
passengers will enjoy a quiet, controlled ride in a cabin notable for both its
versatility and its quality. |

COOL, CALM AND COMPLETELY UNDER CONTROL.
GMC’s clever design makes Sierra a rare pleasure to live with. Case in point:
the instrument panel. It’s positioned down and away so you enjoy a greater
sense of space and a clearer view forward. The gauges are cleanly styled and
strategically positioned, so they communicate vital information at a glance.
On SLT, Denali and Hybrid models supplementary data is provided on the
standard multi-function Driver Information Centre that includes an engine
hour meter, oil change notification alerts and more. For added convenience
and safety, SLT, Denali and Hybrid models feature steering-wheel-mounted
controls for the audio system so you can make adjustments without taking
your hands off the wheel – or your eyes off the road. |

LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL
An Eaton® locking rear differential is standard on Sierra SLT, Denali and Hybrid models and available on other models. When one rear tire starts rotating approximately 100 rpm faster than the other, it locks up automatically. Both wheels are then driven at the same speed to help keep you from getting stuck.
STABILITRAK
Sierra 1500 models and selected Sierra 2500HD models feature a standard StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system that automatically helps correct lateral skids, usually before the driver realizes they’ve begun. Electronic stability control systems have been proven to reduce fatal single-vehicle light truck crashes by 63%.*
HIGH-STRENGTH FRONT FRAME RAILS
The Sierra 1500 frame features extremely strong, fully boxed hydroformed front frame sections.The quality fabrication allowed by the hydroforming process contributes to a very precise fit at all bolting points.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE
All Sierra gas engines feature extended life accessory drive belts, extended life coolant and extended life spark plugs to help reduce your overall cost of ownership.
HIGH-STRENGTH MID-RAILS
The middle sections of the Sierra 1500 frame are made of strong boxed sections rather than C-channels. These side rails provide the strength to handle heavy loads. They taper at the rear, optimizing strength and ride quality without adding unnecessary weight.
WIDE TRACKS
Sierra’s wide front and rear tracks result in a smoother, more stable ride and improved handling, especially on rough surfaces.
AUTOTRAC TM 4X4
In addition to the usual 2HI, 4HI and 4LO and neutral operating modes, Sierra 1500’s Autotrac 4x4 drivetrain includes an ‘Auto’ setting. When engaged, the system constantly monitors for wheelspin
and automatically adjusts torque distribution to the front and rear wheels as the situation requires.
SPLAYED REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS
To enhance ride quality, Sierra 1500’s rear shock absorbers are angled outward with a more upright stance than in previous designs. The result is a more linear response to inputs and increased stability.
COIL-OVER-SHOCK FRONT SUSPENSION
Sierra 1500’s coil-over-shock suspension reduces unsprung weight compared to the previous design. This results in improved handling and a smoother ride in all conditions.
DRIVER INFORMATION CENTRE
The Driver Information Centre (DIC) monitors a wide range of functions like engine and transmission coolant temperatures, engine coolant level, engine oil level (gas V8 engines) and brake fluid level. On SLE and SLT models it also features an exterior temperature readout and an 8-point compass display.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Any time your Sierra is riding on an improperly inflated tire, the standard tire pressure monitoring system will deliver an alert via the Driver Information Centre.
GM OIL LIFE MONITORING SYSTEM
This system automatically assesses your engine oil condition and alerts you when a change is required. The benefits can include reduced oil change frequency, which cuts down service requirements and helps minimize your consumption of non-renewable resources.
RACK-AND-PINION STEERING
Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering – found on all Sierra 1500 models – provides excellent on-centre feel and immediate, precise response.
SUSPENSION CHOICES
Sierra 1500 suspension systems include:
• Z83 Solid Smooth Ride with 35 mm twin-tube shocks and a 32 mm front stabilizer bar.
• Z85 Handling/Trailering, with increased capacity from its 46 mm monotube shocks and a 34 mm front stabilizer bar.
• Z60 High-Performance employs monotube shocks, a 36 mm front stabilizer bar and a sporty lowered ride height.
• Z71 Off-road with 46 mm monotube shock absorbers, off-road jounce bumpers and a heavy-duty 34 mm front stabilizer; also includes a high capacity air cleaner, skid plates, locking differential and Z71 decals.

MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SAFETY.
With Sierra, safety isn’t one thing. It’s everything. It’s an automatic light control
system that makes forgetting to turn on your full lighting system a thing of the
past. Excellent all-around visibility, with standard Solar-Ray® tinted glass. Controls
designed to make it easy to react quickly and appropriately in an emergency.
Responsive handling that helps you steer around hazards. And literally dozens of
other systems and features – like the ones described – designed to help you keep
out of collisions and protect you if a crash can’t be avoided.
SIDE-IMPACT HEAD CURTAIN AIR BAGS
In certain side impacts or rollover situations, the head curtain side-impact air bags unfurl from the roof rail and act like a protective curtain for the occupants of the outboard seats in both the front and rear rows. Standard on all Sierra 1500 models.
SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT AIR BAGS
Driver and right front passenger seats are fitted with seat-mounted side-impact air bags for additional thorax and pelvic protection.
LATCH
Standard in the rear seats of all Extended Cab and Crew Cab models, the LATCH (Lower Anchors and top Tethers for Children) system makes it easier to ensure that child seats are securely installed.
FRONT CRUSH ZONE
In a serious frontal impact, the front sections of Sierra 1500’s hydroformed frame rails are designed to crumple in a controlled fashion to help dissipate dangerous crash energy before it reaches the passenger compartment.
REAR PARKING ASSIST
Standard on Sierra Denali and available on Sierra SLE and SLT Extended and Crew Cab models, the rear parking assist system uses ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles behind the truck and alerts you to their presence via audible signals.
5-STAR SAFETY RATING*
Sierra’s safety engineering pays off with the highest U.S. government safety rating – 5 stars – for both driver and front passenger in the frontal crash test and for the front and rear seating positions in side-impact collisions. |

HOOK IT UP.
Few vehicles in the world are as adept at towing heavy trailers as Sierra.
There’s a Tow/Haul mode built into every Sierra automatic transmission, for
added performance and shift stability when you’ve got a trailer hooked up.
A Trailering Special Equipment Package outfi ts your Sierra perfectly for the
rigors of towing and is included on all SLT and Hybrid models. Sierra 1500
models also offer an available MAX Trailering Package that comes with one of
the highest trailer ratings you can get on a half-ton pickup: 4853 kg (10,700 lb.),
to be precise. If you’re among the few who need an even higher level of capability,
check out Sierra 3500HD. Properly equipped, it’s rated to tow up to a whopping
7484 kg (16,500 lb.) with a fifth wheel rig. |
