These engines put out 285 horsepower with 305 lb-ft of torque and 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, respectively.

These engines offer towing between 5,500 to 9,400 lbs, meaning you’ll have no problem bringing your camper along for a fishing trip or putting it to work at the job site. And with a max payload somewhere in the 1,736 to 2,011 lbs range you can get a good amount of versatility out of this vehicle.

Performance Features

There plenty of ways Sierra owners get the most out of their trucks through upgrades and performance parts. While some trucks came with the All-Terrain package which includes all of the following, you will find that a good amount of used models will have some of these options: Z71 Off-Road suspension package with Rancho monotube shocks, Hill Descent Control, automatic locking rear differential, underbody transfer case shield, 18-inch wheels wrapped by all-terrain tires, spray-on bed liner, and auto-dimming inside rearview mirror.
