GMC focused on hard-working vehicles such as the one-ton pickup truck, named Sierra 3500 HD (Heavy-Duty), and managed to be recognized as one of the best-in-class vehicles.
The pickup-trucks have become more and more luxurious and focused on passengers’ comfort. But there was a select range of vehicles that offered more than just convenience. They were designed to carry heavy loads, pull trailers with equipment, and help the owner put bread and butter on the table. Unlike its siblings with four doors, the regular-cab version was designed mostly for work.
GM built the 3500 HD version for work, and it showed it. Its front fascia was tall, fitted with big squared headlights and corner-mounted turn-signals. Unusually for its class, the vehicle was available with a different pair of headlights with dual, horizontal lamps separated by a horizontal slat. Depending on the trim option, the front bumper was black, body-colored, or chromed. The Regular cab offered just two doors and a bench in the front, or individual seats depending on the trim level and options. GMC offered the Sierra with a choice of beds in the back or with a bare chassis.
Inside, GMC installed either a bench for three or two individual seats, depending on the trim levels. The WT (Work Truck – base model) featured rugged vinyl floor mats and stain-proof upholstery. The SLT, top trim-level, offered a higher comfort level with individual seats, wood-trims, and a sat-nav system.
GMC claimed that the most demanded version was the diesel version with its 6.6-liter Duramax unit that came with enough torque to pull a house and, thanks to the engine braking system, it saved the brake pads. All engine versions sent their power to the rear or all four wheels.

GMC released the third generation of the Sierra pickup-truck range in 2006 as a 2007 model-year for the 1500 series and the 2500 HD series in the following year as a 2008 model.
GMC had over a century of experience on the market. It couldn’t outsell the Ford F-Series, but it was close and offered an excellent platform able to pull more than the 1500 series. For the 2500 HD (heavy-duty), the American carmaker used a new platform, the T900, which replaced the T800 and offered better solutions and more powerful engines than its predecessor.
Like its predecessor, the Sierra was available in a few body versions, starting with a chassis-cab and going up to the big crew-cab version. Its raked windshield at 57 degrees decreased the wind noise and the aerodynamic resistance, increasing the fuel-efficiency. To add a more dynamic appearance, the Sierra featured flared wheel-arches. The Regular Cab version featured a two-door cabin with either a bench or a pair of seats. The bed in the back was available in three sizes of 5.75′ (1752 mm), 6.5′ (1981 mm), and 8′ (2438 mm) on three different wheelbases.
Inside, the GMC Sierra offered two or three seating positions, depending on the trim level and options. Like most of the pickup-trucks on the market, it provided a big dashboard, with a steering-column mounted gear-selector for the automatic transmission.
The manufacturer offered the Sierra with a choice of two engines paired as standard to a 4-speed automatic gearbox. It was available either as a 2WD or 4WD.
