Available Hydraulic Body Mounts improve and refine the Sierra’s overall drive comfort.
Hydraulic Body Mounts utilize fluid passing through internal chambers in the mount to improve vibration damping and soften inputs from the frame into the cab. The result? An already smooth ride made even smoother.

The Sierra's boxed frame is our strongest ever. Boxed from front to the spare tire area, the frame is stiff both torsionally and in beaming, for a smooth ride.
The front frame section is boxed and hydroformed, which increases structural rigidity by producing more consistent steel-wall thickness. Boxed from front to the spare tire area, the frame has a tight fit at bolting points. The result is isolation from the road and smooth performance on the highway.

Details give Sierra's instrument panel a rich, high-quality feel, while the seamless fit of its interior panels and tight exterior gaps ensure a sleek look inside and out.

From the raked windshield and tight gaps of the exterior to the wood grain trim and low-gloss tones of the instrument panels, Sierra's attention to detail will not go unnoticed. An available full touch-screen navigation system* also features a fully integrated AM/FM stereo and CD player.
