GMC Sierra Trucks: The Full-Size Pickups That Do More Than Work

Are you currently exploring different trucks for sale? If you know you want to treat yourself to a truck that’s more than your basic workhorse, the GMC Sierra lineup should be on your list. GMC has set itself apart from the competition in the sometimes saturated full-size pickup market by adding premium touches to its trucks.

Sometimes, you don’t want a truck that’s only practical. Sometimes you want a truck that encourages you to relax when you slide into the driver’s seat after a long day at a job site.

Sure, your truck is for towing, drilling, building, and all of those challenging tasks. But you deserve a truck that feels refined, too, right? We know that GMC did a great job proving its attention to detail through its Sierra lineup, including the Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500. Today, we’ll show you why.

Massaging Seats

We can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t appreciate massaging car seats. But, we know that the types of folks who drive GMC Sierras need massaging seats. GMC Sierra truck drivers usually operate heavy machinery, manage power tools, climb ladders, and, in general, endure plenty of physically demanding tasks every day.

Imagine getting into your truck at the end of each day, knowing a massage was waiting for you. If you don’t have time in your schedule for an appointment with a real masseuse, having massaging car seats is the closest thing. You can find this feature across the upper trims of the Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500.

Why wait until the work day is over, though? Enjoying a massage on your way to work can help you arrive feeling relaxed and ready to take on the day. If you have long commutes, the massaging seats can prevent muscle fatigue and cramps after extended stretches behind the wheel.

14 Available Camera Angles

Being able to see around your truck is crucial. Being able to see around a truck with a trailer attached to it is even more important, and no human being can see around these large vessels using their eyes alone.

The GMC Sierra trucks offer up to 14 camera angles, providing you with constant updates on what’s happening in and around both your truck and your trailer. We won’t cover all 14 camera angles here, but we will go over our favorites.

An inside trailer view lets you look inside your trailer. This is a nice feature for those who transport valuables and need to ensure their cargo doesn’t shift during transport. It’s also perfect for professionals who move livestock and need to check on the animals en route.

Transparent trailer view lets you see through your trailer, as if it’s not even there. So you can see how closely the car behind you is tailing you or check your surroundings when backing up. A birds-eye view lets you see your entire truck and trailer, as if you were flying above it. A hitch view makes it much easier to align your hitch to your trailer.

The In-Vehicle Trailering App

If you frequently tow large vessels, then you know you have twice the items to take care of: your truck and your trailer. The in-vehicle trailering app makes sure you don’t miss a thing, with features like a pre-departure checklist, so you can ensure all systems are a go before you hit the road, and a trailer tire pressure monitoring system that alerts you when one of your trailer tires needs attention.

The app also includes maintenance reminders. You have enough to remember with your truck’s maintenance schedule. So it’s nice to have extra help remembering when to service your trailer.
The trailer light sequence also helps you ensure all of your trailer lights are working before you hit the road, which helps you communicate with other drivers and alert others to the presence of your trailer in the dark.

You can create up to five custom trailer profiles, giving each one a name, and designating its category, and hitch type. So if you often alternate between several trailers, you can track the important details for each one.

Storage Galore

Your truck bed is great for the big stuff, like your tool boxes, wood planks, workbench, and building materials. But what about all of the odds and ends you’d prefer to keep inside the cabin with you? They need a place to go, too. And if you have items that are fragile, valuable, or just so essential you need them close by, the bed isn’t the right place for them.

Luckily, the insides of the GMC trucks boast tons of clever storage compartments. First, there’s available rear seatback storage with two compartments inside the rear outboard seatbacks. You can toss items like charging cords, flashlights, and umbrellas here.

Then, there is the available rear under-seat storage. This tucks items out of the way, keeping your floors clear and putting valuables out of sight. There’s also the available center console storage, a deep compartment, great for tablets or large valuables.

There are even two lockable glove boxes: one large lower one, and an upper one. Between these storage compartments, you should have all of the room you need to take items along for the ride, and keep your cab feeling organized.

MultiPro Tailgate

Finally, the MultiPro Tailgate has been one of the most buzzworthy features of the GMC trucks since it came out in the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500.

This tailgate will make you rethink what is possible with this part of a truck. You can set it to six positions, each of which addresses the real needs and challenges of professionals.

You can always use it as a regular tailgate. Then, you have the option to fold it down, 180 degrees, for closer access to your bed. When the tailgate is down in the regular position, you can prop up the primary gate load stop to keep longer items in place.

You can also fold it down into a full-width step that’s 48 inches wide and can support 375 lbs. An upper-tier load stop creates even more options for longer items. You can even fold it up into a work surface, giving you a convenient place to go over documents and handle admin work at a job site.

Finally, on some models, you’ll get a built-in speaker system within the tailgate. With Bluetooth compatibility, this lets you play music at the job site or that perfect scary audiobook at the campsite.
