There are many upgrades when you compare the current GMC Sierra 1500 Classic to the first launched models. The modern version has the latest technology, and its interiors are welcoming with a gratifying driving experience. With the base model priced just above $35,000, it is a great choice for people looking to purchase a mid-size truck. It comes with a roomy cabin and a roomier bed. It also has a respectable towing and hauling capacity.

Performance
The engine included in GMC’s Sierra 1500 classic is a 6.2L V8 machine that supports 4-wheel drive on the truck. It is easy and fast to operate and transitions in the 10-speed evolution.

Comfort
GMC Sierra 1500 Classic’s seats are comfortable to get you through a long ride without any trouble. But, it could do better at absorbing the impact when driving on bumpy roads. The climate control system is fast acting and, in some trims, can be voice controlled with the help of Google Assistant.

Interiors
Sierra 1500 Classic has a comfortable cabin, which means you and your passengers have ample legroom and headroom.

Technology
Technology is another place where the Sierra 1500 Classic shines. It comes with a 13.4-inch touchscreen display that offers various controls and functions. The screen is fast, responsive, and has high resolution. The navigation on this infotainment system is straightforward and quick, unlike a few other trucks. It also comes with various voice control options making it easier to adjust climate control selections and change radio stations.
Moreover, it is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto twitch, making wireless connectivity more accessible. It has a designated space to put away your phone, with some models also sporting a wireless charger. The massive truck also includes driver’s assistance features like parking assistance and multiple cameras that make parking easier.

Storage
The Sierra 1500 Classic has an attractive feature, a MultiPro tailgate. Higher trims in the lineup come packed with features such as trailer camera angles, memory settings for trailer configuration, and a brake controller. The cabin’s center console has enough storage to put away your smaller items and multiple cup holders. The massive rear seat makes accommodating child seats an easy task.

Fuel economy
GMC’s Sierra 1500 classic is estimated to deliver an average mileage of 17 mpg as evaluated by the EPA. The numbers aren’t wrong for a car with a V8 engine and an all-wheel drive option.

Value
With all the positives we can count for the GMC Sierra 1500 Classic, it isn’t enjoyable to see how its value does not meet its pricing, especially considering the higher trims and models. The recent models have had a definite upgrade of interiors and materials compared to the previous lineups from the past few years. But, there is not a lot in terms of trucks that could justify the vehicle’s premium pricing, except for the MultiPro tailgate.

Warranty 
The GMC Sierra 1500 offers two warranty plans. The basic package provides 36000 miles or three years of coverage, while the Powertrain package goes up to six years and 60,000 miles. Moreover, the company also offers free first-scheduled maintenance during the first year.
