Shoppers looking at the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 will be impressed by its numerous configurations, but might be let down by sparse interior storage and minimal standard interior features.
If you’re looking at the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500, the first thing you’ll notice is that it’s one of the most customizable vehicles on the market. It’s available with three types of cabs, three cargo beds and five engine options. There’s even a hybrid model. With so many configurations, most shoppers can create their ideal Sierra.
The Sierra impresses with good fuel economy, powerful engine options and comfortable seats. However, the Sierra falls short with limited standard interior features that don’t go beyond the basics like air conditioning, a basic stereo and a tilt steering wheel. The Sierra also doesn’t have many interior cubbies, which makes storing small items difficult.
These faults may be a turn off for many shoppers, but Edmunds thinks the Sierra still has a lot going for it. “The 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is a worthy competitor among fresher rivals, bolstered by a wide range of body styles, capable performance and a comfortable ride."
