New 2009 GMC Sierra 1500

Everyone's tastes can be accounted for in the 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. It can satisfy the strictest off-road enthusiast with its sheer power and durability. It will also please those with more refined tastes with its high end options and body design.

The 2009 version is a carryover from 2008, and the Sierra 1500 retains all of its spectacular trims from the previous years. The vehicle is available in five different engines, including the 4.3-liter V-6, the 4.8-liter V-8, the 5.3-liter V-8, and the 6.0-liter V-8. A 6.2-liter V-8 engine is available for the first time in the 2009 model. It has a FlexFuel engine just right for our environmentally conscious times. While the V-6 comes with a four-speed automatic transmission, all V-8s come with a six-speed automatic transmission and electronic stability control.

While the engine types give the buyer a wide spectrum of options, the body type choices are mind boggling. Depending on your needs, choose a regular cab (the SLE1 edition), an extended cab, crew cab or work truck body. Box lengths vary from 5.75 to 8 feet. Furthermore, most engine and trim combinations are available in 4x2 or 4x4 for both on- or off-road driving. The options are limitless. Go all out and add Bluetooth to your truck. If you're off-roading, feel secure by adding XMNavTra so you will know that you will never be completely lost.

Often compared to the Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the GMC Sierra 1500 outshines both trucks in options, interior room and style. It is comparable in cost and gas mileage - 14 MPG in the city and 19 MPG on the freeway.

While standard options vary depending on the trim choice, significant safety features are standard. Each truck has driver and front passenger airbags, OnStar assistance and a panic alarm should you need it. Feel secure that it scored five out of five stars in both driver and passenger NHTSA Frontal Crash Tests. Whether you choose the truck with the biggest engine or the truck with the highest towing capacity (5,200 pounds), your cargo will be safe.

The 2009 GMC Sierra presents not only many options but endless opportunity. Whatever size, engine or option package fits your needs, the Sierra is sure to please the even most hard-to-satisfy customer.
