The 2017 GMC Sierra offers something for everyone. For starters, it comes in several trim packages and three versions: the Sierra 1500 Light-Duty pickup truck, the 2500 Heavy Duty pickup and the 3500 Denali Heavy Duty pickup. The truck’s heavy-duty bed and impressive power make it ideal for a work truck, while its distinctive design and plush interior deem it worthy of shuttling clients in comfort. With multiple safety options and a roomy cabin, it is versatile enough to serve as a family vehicle as well. The Sierra also has the power to haul your toys and tackle dirt roads and rough terrain. If the gas mileage provided by a truck is a turn-off, the Sierra can be configured to run on natural gas. Read on to learn more about the top-rated 2017 GMC Sierra.

The Sierra’s cabin is quiet due to triple door seals, hydraulic body and engine mounts that reduce vibration, aerodynamic exterior mirrors to cut down on wind noise, a valved exhaust system that reduces engine noise and an available noise cancellation system.

The 2017 GMC Sierra’s standard 6.0L Vortec 6000 gas V8 engine is a proven commodity and can be configured to run on bi-fuel gasoline and compressed natural gas or just natural gas. Those that tow regularly may want to upgrade to the available 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V-8.
