The Car Connection (2001)
An upgraded suspension system that pilots two torsion bars in front, two-stage leaf springs in back, and extra roll damping to maintain even keel during trailer towing, assures a smooth ride without loss of power.

The Auto Channel (1998)
Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet C/K pickups, the Sierra is a full-sized truck. As such it has a half-ton carrying capacity and a full-sized bed, as well as an extended cab if you're interested in bringing along a couple of extra people or if you're carrying something that you'd prefer to keep under lock and key.

USA Today (2001)
Aluminum cylinder heads, instead of cast iron, and better fuel and airflow boost the C3 engine to 325 horsepower and 370 pounds-feet of torque, vs. 300 hp and 360 lbs.-ft. for the similar 6-liter V-8 in Sierra three-quarter-ton pickups.

Car Trackers (2000)
The Sierra can easily hold six adults with the standard front bench seat. A running board would be a nice standard feature since many short people will have difficulty getting into the cab.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1999)
The tested SLT version of the new Sierra 1500 pickup, with an extended cab and four-wheel drive, is about as classy a pickup as you can find.

The Auto Channel (1999)
The all-new 1999 Sierra, GMC's core model, is designed for today's truck buyer. Because pickup trucks are vehicles of many uses, a comprehensive lineup of Sierra models is offered in two series, the medium-duty 1500 and heavy-duty 2500.

New for 1999 is a standard right side rear door. This improves access to the rear but GMC has yet to catch up with the industry standard, which includes two rear doors on full size pickups for Ford and Dodge.
