2014 GMC Sierra V6: First Drive - GM Authority (blog)
Like our time with the 2014 GMC Sierra V6, I’ll be brief. Compared to the outgoing GMT900 model, the K2XX GMC Sierra 1500 is an improvement in every category. It’s pleasant mystery how on earth this four-wheeled brick returns minimal wind noise, while the now electric power steering unit gives the half-ton truck a sharper feel (though not returning nearly as many sensations as the outgoing setup). To be clear, the Sierra isn’t a mobile couch — the suspension does have to be stiff enough to handle what will be as much as 12,000 pounds max towing with its 6. 2L V8 engine which will be made available later this year — so don’t assume into... Many would agree in saying that GM’s new trucks are the quietest in the segment right now, and the fuel economy promise of 24 highway miles per gallon out of the 4. 3L V6 engine with class-leading power makes the 2014 Sierra a standout everyday... More impressively, the 18 city/24 highway miles per gallon with the 2WD model is achieved with the use of a six-speed automatic. We expect that these class-leading numbers will be reset again as soon as next year with the implementation of the upcoming eight-speed transmissions. And despite being a V6 model, the output is currently class-leading , at 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque. Source: gmauthority.com
