Is the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 living up to it's hype?

With the 2014 GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado hitting showrooms across the country, is the redesigned truck living up to it's expectations?

Heavier towing capacity, better fuel economy, more power, luxury amenities and technology that would rival a German automobile.  There's no doubt that the 2014 line of GM light-duty pickup trucks has been touted as the best in the industry on multiple levels, but has this $ 45,000 fully loaded behemoth lived up to the hype?

2014 GMC Sierra Front-View Comparison to 2013 GMC Sierra 1500


The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 Sierra both received all new engines from GM's new and improved EcoTec3 line.  Engine options include a powerful, redesigned 4.3-liter overhead-valve V6 rated at 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque.  The redesigned 5.3-liter V8 engine is rated at 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque on regular gasoline.  The premium-gas optimized 6.2-liter V8 returns a class-leading 420 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque.  All three engines include 3 essential fuel-saving features, Active Fuel Management (AFM) cylinder deactivation, Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT).  These three essential features allow the 2014 GMC Sierra and Silverado to return an EPA-Estimated 24 mpg HWY in the 2wd, V6 configuration.

Continuing the trend of innovation, 2014 GMC Sierra and Silverado receive a 6-speed transmission with tow/haul mode for when increased control and power is needed.  Never before has GM mated a V6 to a six-speed box, but this combo returns an EPA-Estimated 24mpg HWY.

In addition to the updated mechanics, the 2014 Sierra and Silverado both received exterior restyling with an emphasis on aerodynamics.  A more protruding front grille and hood as high as Sierra 2500HD.  LED accented and projector style headlights are standard on Sierra SLE and SLT trims and optional on Silverado.  Rear bumper steps to aid in access to the bed along with LED lights under the bed rail to improve visibility are also included standard with the truck owner in mind.

Inside the cab, probably the most noticeable redesign yet is unveiled starting with a completely new dashboard, center console and larger rear seat in Crew Cab models.  Additionally, extended cab models now include front hinged doors making rear access easier.  Technology is centered around an optional 8" center touch screen featuring GMC MyLink software with Bluetooth, XM, HD Radio, optional navigation and more.

The 2014 GMC Sierra and Silverado truly lived up to its name of quality and reliability with the most recent model year.  Never before has a truck with such fuel economy yet brute power and towing capacity been released from a GM factory, and it is truly class-leading in all aspects.
