Available Engines
GMC Sierra engines are specifically designed to provide the power and performance needed to handle light, medium, or heavy loads over the long haul. Basically, an engine's strength is measured in two ways: the force to get you going in the first place (torque) and the power to keep you going (horsepower). Sierra's engines provide the high torque ratings needed to pull heavy loads and the horsepower needed to keep you moving down the road with confidence and control.
Payload
Be sure to consider the cargo weight you want to carry when selecting a GMC Sierra model. In general, a higher series number indicates a greater load-carrying capacity. For example, a 3500HD Series Sierra will have more load-carrying capability than a 1500 Series when both are outfitted with standard equipment. The payload specifications give you an idea of the maximum amount of weight you can confidently and safely load into different Sierra models when your vehicle is properly equipped.
Towing Specifications
To select the GMC Sierra that's right for you, consider the weight of the trailer you intend to pull. The towing specifications give you an idea of the maximum amount of weight you can confidently and safely trailer with different Sierra models when your vehicle is properly equipped. When determining the total weight of trailer and cargo, be sure to include the weight of any additional passengers and optional equipment (driver weight and base equipment are already included).
Dimensions
When choosing a GMC Sierra configuration, take the dimensions of the body style and bed length into consideration. The number of passengers you need to carry and the length and width of the payloads you plan to haul need to be factored into your decision. For example, Regular Cab models can generally carry two to three passengers, while Extended and Crew Cab models can seat five or six passengers. Similarly, short-box trucks provide less cargo capacity than regular or long-box models.
