Final Thoughts
It’s easy to see why the GMC Sierra is a hit with truck buyers. It offers a slightly more upscale experience for not that much more money. It’s also able to do real truck stuff, as evidenced by its class-leading towing capacity. Buyers who don’t really care about luxury may want to opt for the Silverado, although that truck can get expensive in a hurry once you select higher-tier trims and start adding options.
If you want the newest truck on the market, the Ford F-150 is still your best bet. The next-generation Sierra and Silverado are due out in 2018 and will debut as 2019 models. So, if you really want a Sierra but also want a new truck, it might be smarter to wait. GMC’s new trucks should be lighter — thanks to aluminum bodies — and will also feature that 10-speed auto mentioned earlier. However, if you’re looking for a truck now and are willing to pay a bit more for cabin quality and design than the GMC Sierra is worth a test drive.
