If you are the type of person who gravitates toward pickup trucks, there are certain expectations when choosing a new vehicle. Those expectations typically are good performance, capability, safety, design, and comfort features to make every ride, whether at work or play, memorable. The new 2023 GMC Sierra checks these boxes as it delivers trucks made for truck lovers.
Performance and Capabilities
Performance ranks high on the list of importance for a pickup truck. The 2023 Sierra has available gas-powered engines to choose from and a diesel option as well. The first of the gas-powered engines available is a 2.7-liter High Output engine that produces 310 horsepower. It comes standard on the Pro, SLE, and Elevation Trim models. Next up is a 5.3-liter V8 engine that cranks out 355 horsepower, which is standard on the SLT and Denali trim models. The last gas engine available is a 6.2-liter V8. It comes paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It delivers 420 horsepower and comes standard on the AT4X and Denali Ultimate trim models. The standard on the AT4 trim model is a 3.0-liter Duramax engine. This good design engine produces a best-in-class 305 horsepower and best-in-class 13,000 pounds towing capacity.
Interior Features
Whether on your daily commute in Hickory or tackling a weekend project, it is always beneficial to be in a vehicle that makes each ride pleasant and fun. The new GMC Sierra has features that make that a reality. The interior of the Sierra is a very welcoming environment. It starts with wood trim and accents that scream sophistication. Depending on your preferred styling, there are options to meet them. These range from the peak of luxury found in the Denali Ultimate with features such as a leather-trimmed instrument panel with aluminum and chrome accents to the more athletic environment of the Sierra AT4 with perforated leather seats and intelligently placed storage spaces. Premium audio is available with a Bose sound system. A large center touchscreen and equally large Instrument panel ensure that information and entertainment are readily visible and configurable are also available.
Technology and Driver Assists
There are several other benefits that pickup truck lovers will discover about the new 2023 GMC Sierra. These include features such as Super Cruise. This feature is compatible with roughly 200,000 miles of road in Canada and the US and provides drivers with the means to drive hands-free. Available on the Denali and Denali Ultimate trim, these first-in-class features allow drivers to maintain speed through lane changes and to pull a trailer automatically and hands-free.
If putting your truck to work is on the to-do list, features are available to assist with that. The available Prograde Trailering System makes the towing and hitching process more efficient. The available in-vehicle trailering app provides drivers with real-time information such as departure checklists, maintenance reminders, and the current pressure and temperature of the trailer tires.
If work requires hauling rather than towing, the 2023 GMC Sierra has a MulitPro Tailgate available. This tailgate features six functions that make loading, unloading, and accessing the bed area easier. To protect the best-in-class short-bed cargo area of the Sierra, there is an available CarbonPro bed that is highly resistant to the dents, scratches, and corrosion that often comes from putting your truck to work.
