The 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 ranks 2 out of 7 Full Size Pickup Trucks. This ranking is based on our analysis of 28 published reviews and test drives of the GMC Sierra 1500, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The Sierra 1500 gets a high ranking among full size pickups for its good combination of power, handling and comfort. It also offers a number of configurations and a long list of standard and optional features.
With a strong powertrain and smooth handling, a long list of standard features and very good safety scores, the 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 is one of the highest ranked full size pickup trucks. Reviewers praise the Sierra 1500 not only for its strength in utility, but also its luxurious cabin, and say the combination of these attributes give the truck wide appeal. New Car Test Drive says, “Those who plan to use their trucks for commuting to work, carrying lots of family members and towing boats, may prefer the SUV-style interior, while those who use their trucks primarily as working tools will opt for the more utilitarian-oriented pure pickup design.” Auto writers also note that with three cabs, three cargo beds, six engines, five suspension and four interior packages, the GMC Sierra can be custom built to each buyer’s specifications.
The Sierra 1500 was just redesigned last year, so changes for 2008 are minimal. These include the addition of new standard equipment including XM Satellite Radio. If you’re shopping for a full-size pickup, also consider the Sierra 1500’s platform-mate, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
The GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup truck that is nearly identical to the Chevy Silverado but features more mature, restrained styling.
There are four engine sizes to choose from: 4.3-liter V-6, 4.8-liter V-8, 5.3-liter V-8 and 6.0-liter V-8; all are controlled by a four-speed automatic. Like all Sierras, the 1500 is available in a wide array of bed sizes, wheelbases, drive types and cab sizes, as well as a variety of trim levels. Safety features include driver and passenger front air bags, tire pressure monitoring system and four-wheel antilock disc brakes.
