One hundred years of continuous innovation results from

a steadfast refusal to engineer anything less than Professional Grade trucks. From the beginning, GMC has been dedicated to the highest standards of design and engineering. Today is no different. That’s why we’re reaching new standards for how technically advanced, comfortable and quiet your truck cabin should be. We’ve also produced a redesigned instrument panel featuring a new available 107 mm (4.2-inch) Driver Information Centre. Gauges are easy to read and LED back-lit. The 2014 GMC Sierra is precision-crafted like no other.

Sierra turns obstacles into

achievements, constantly making easy work of your hardest jobs. Out on the road, you’re rewarded with a system of technologies that produces precise ride and handling. Even the cargo box is redesigned to make it easier to use and more versatile. Surrounding everything is a body designed to direct and manage airflow. All together, this makes the new Sierra the truck you’ve always needed. Conveniently, it also makes it the one you’ve always wanted.
