Phase 3: Profit! 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT review notes - Autoweek

GMC’s Sierra is a slightly nicer Chevy Silverado. DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Given that the Sierra is a Chevrolet Silverado with perhaps some bushing changes and maybe a touch more sound insulation, it should come as no surprise that this Sierra SLT drives exactly like our long-term Silverado LTZ. Mind you, that’s not a bad thing -- the Sierra is a smooth, refined pickup truck with interior equipment befitting a luxury sedan. wouldn’t the 15,000 Sierra buyers in February have opted for an identical Silverado if the GMC wasn’t an option. Anyway, if you want to buy a Chevrolet pickup but you have an issue with the Chevrolet brand, get a Sierra and pretend it’s not a Chevrolet. Our long-term Silverado, a Silverado High Country, this thing and then back to the long-term Silverado -- all equipped with the 6. 2-liter. Like Andy, I’ve been hard-pressed to figure out what the differences are between Chevy and GMC pickups beyond a different grille and badges. Source: autoweek.com
