Rugged 2015 GMC Sierra HD Review
Intro
The 2015 GMC Sierra HD may be similar in so many ways as the Chevrolet Silverado, but it also has its own uniqueness. Moreover, the pickup truck has a very reasonable price. The 2015 GMC Sierra HD is an affordable pickup truck. Even though the price is not as hefty as its sibling, the GMC Canyon, but the truck is worth a look. The truck is quite similar to the Chevrolet Silverado HD, though. So it may not seem like this is a new innovation in pickup trucks after all. Still, it does not hurt to know more about the truck, especially when it is within your price range.
Exterior
The pickup truck may not be too large, but it is certainly one heavy duty truck. So, you would be expecting so much from what GMC put inside its hood. The 2015 GMC Sierra HD specs include the powerful 6.0 liter V 8 engine. This engine can deliver as much as 360 horsepower. For another trim, the Sierra regular duty, the truck is equipped with 6.2 liter V 8 that can produce 420 horsepower. But of course this trim will cost you more.
Price
How about the price? The good news would be that the car would start at $32,000 in the lowest trim level.
Interior
The interior of 2015 GMC Sierra HD redesign will include great material for the dashboard and seats. Not only that, you will also be get a treat of eight inch touch screen dash. How does that sound? For the exterior, the new Sierra has lower rear hinged half doors. Thus far, it still has the same innovation as the Chevy Silverado. But, the Sierra has created another change, that is by elongated the rear doors.
