GMC Sierra – from trim name to full-size pickup: six- and eight-cylinders of 3.0 to 7.4 litres, 1,720 to 2,763 kg unladen weight, SLE, SLT, AT4 and Denali trim lines

At GMC, Sierra was initially, from 1971, only the name of the upmarket trim line on the C/K pickups – Sierra Grande denoted full equipment, Sierra Classic the simpler level. Only in 1988 did Sierra become the standalone model name of the full-size pickups, which GMC has since offered alongside the technically largely identical Chevrolet Silverado. This page gathers both eras, from the older C/K Sierra trims of the 1970s and 1980s to the current generations with the SLE and SLT trim lines, the off-road AT4 and AT4X variants and the Denali luxury version.

The register lists here 25 versions with six to eight cylinders and 2,977 to 7,440 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,720 to 2,763 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,358 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,850 to 2,550 mm.

The Sierra, together with the Silverado, is among the best-selling pickups in North America and forms the counterpart there to the Ford F-150; in Europe it remains a rare import, adapted for local road use by specialised converters.

Buying used, on Sierra pickups the condition of the frame and suspension, rust in the rear wheel arches and load bed, the function of the automatic transmission and, where fitted, the four-wheel-drive clutch, and on V8 engines with cylinder deactivation their responsiveness all count; spare parts are available through US import trade and cross-brand GM specialists.
