Want to feel powerful and in control on the road? If so, then you might just love the GMC Sierra. High-quality, professional-grade, and jam-packed with the latest and most beneficial technology, this is a modern truck for the modern person.
General Specs
Since the GMC Sierra is a truck, it does tend to get lower gas mileage than smaller vehicles.
However, this crew cab pickup short bed body still does quite well for itself. It can seat up to 6 passengers at a time and still gets a fairly impressive 16 MPG city and 21 MPG highway, thanks in large part to its strong gas V6 engine.
TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATIONS
The Sierra’s 6 speed automatic transmission offers a lot of great features and capabilities, including:
- Electronically-controlled automation
- Overdrive mode
- Tow/haul mode
- Cruise grade braking
- Powertrain grade braking
Some features, however, are only available on certain models, so do check to ensure you know the exact specifications for the vehicle you’re interested in.
