From the base model to additional trim levels and right down to the new hybrid version, the 2005 GMC Sierra is a pickup truck that looks less like the rest of its class. It can also be distinguished thanks to the added power from the formidable V8 engine.

The 2005 GMC Sierra has a number of options available for its engine. While the base model with the regular cab incorporates a V6 engine with a capacity of 4.3 liters, a more powerful 5.3-liter V8 engine is provided under the hood of the Crew Cab model. Additional power is available in the extended cab models with all-wheel drive, the horsepower for those models of the 2005 Sierra being as high as 310 horsepower.

Another feature worth mentioning about the 2005 Sierra is the Autotrac traction control mechanism designed by General Motors. Two-wheel drive versions of the 2005 Sierra are also available.

Much is expected in terms of performance from a full-sized and fully equipped pickup truck, and the 2007 GMC Sierra lives up to most of these expectations with flamboyance. Best of all, the 2007 model year places additional stress on the comfort of passengers to complete the a top-shape riding experience package.

The standard workhorse model of the 2007 Sierra includes a V6 engine having a capacity of 4.3 liters with 195 horsepower, while other trim levels include more powerful engines. An example is the Denali model having a massive 403 horsepower-generating 6.2-liter V8. All models with the exception of the Denali include automatic four-speed transmissions.

The most glaring improvement about the 2007 GMC Sierra is the styling of its interiors. The dual-toned schemes add ambiance to the refined ergonomics, which in turn start from acoustics to the improved seating arrangements. From cup holders to the single-touch lane changing utility, this truck bears prospects for an incredible riding experience.

'08 GMC Sierra

The 2008 GMC Sierra adds all off the best features and options a driver could want. In the 2008 model year, GMC’s full-sized pickup truck now gets additional perks for improved off-road performance in one of the trim levels.

The Sierra is still available in extended and regular cab models along with the crew cab style. For better accommodations, one should definitely go for extended or crew cab models, as these models seat as many as six adults at a time.

The 2008 GMC Sierra now offers the option between a luxury vehicle and a high-powered workhorse. The engine can be as moderate as the 4.3-liter V6 offering 195 horsepower, or as powerful as the 6.0-liter 367 horsepower V8.

A number of features including the optional Autotrac traction control device, an anti-skid mechanism, an anti-lock braking system and multiple airbags make the 2008 Sierra one of the safest and best pickup trucks on the road. Four-wheel drive is also available as an option.
