2009 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD Review

 
2009 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD Review

The first word that comes to mind when thinking about the 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD is "choices". Some would say too many choices; however, others love the variety and versatility. There are many different configurations and trim levels available on the Sierra; especially when dealing with the engine and suspension. There are no less than eight engines and five suspensions available. The engines range from a 195HP V6 to a 403HP V8. Available transmissions are either four or six speed, depending on the engine. Obviously, fuel mileage will vary greatly as well. You can expect anywhere from 15 mpg in the city to 20 mpg on the highway.

You can also choose from a variety of cab and bed configurations within the four available trim levels. Regular, extended, and crew cabs are available, as well as bed lengths of 5'9", 6'6", and 8'. The 2009 Sierra is the sister truck to the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The GMC, however, is offered as a slightly more upscale version of the truck. Its styling is sleeker, and the interior is more comfortable and inviting. They also try to separate the two trucks by changing the design of the bumpers, beds, hood, and grille. The edges of the Sierra are a bit smoother than and not quite as sharp as those of the Silverado.

The interior is quite different as well, with a stylish upscale version, as well as a work, utility version. The Work Truck has simple, easy to access controls that can be operated while wearing gloves, while the upper trim versions focus more on comfort and luxury. The Sierra also continues to be one of the top performing trucks in the areas of safety and crash testing. The upper end trim levels are also receiving more technological upgrades this year, with OnStar upgrades and more connectivity for all of your high tech gadgets.

The 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD has a starting price of around $19,000 for the base model. There are enough choices and configurations in this truck to accommodate almost any type of application, from work to a night on the town. If you are not a very decisive person, you may want to look elsewhere, but if you enjoy being offered plenty of options, you should give this truck a look. Even though it is related to the Silverado, it definitely stands on its own two feet.
