All Used GMC Sierra
After a complete redesign last year, 2000 GMC's Silverado-based pickup finally gets a fourth door on the extended cab. There's also more power on tap in the All Used GMC Sierra 4.8- and 5.3-liter engines, increased trailer ratings and standard programmable automatic door locks. New factory appearance items were added to the All Used GMC Sierra, such as wheel-lip flares and a soft tonneau cover, are now available on some models.
Continuously Upgrading the All Used GMC Sierra
Thanks to the myriad of improvements that came with the introduction of the '99 Sierra, All Used GMC Sierra-size pickup now moves to the refinement stage for 2000. Employing unique, three-piece frame construction, Sierras come in either 1500 (half-ton) or 2500 (three-quarter-ton) series. Like most major pickup brands, there's even a regular cab/bare-chassis offering for custom applications such as tow, utility or dump trucks.
Extreme Power for the All Used GMC Sierra
The base Used GMC Sierra Vortec 4.3-liter V6 has been upgraded this year to improve durability, emissions and fuel economy. It now features a roller timing chain and rocker arms, extended-life spark plugs and coolant and a new oil-level sensor. But more impressive in the All Used GMC Sierra are the three V8s, two of which tout power increases this year thanks to new camshafts. The Vortec 4800 V8 (standard on 1500 Series extended-cab models) makes 270 horsepower (up from last year's 255). And the 5.3-liter All Used GMC Sierra V8 gains 15 horses (now at 285) and 10 more pound-feet of torque (to 325). Both All Used GMC Sierra engines enjoy a long, flat torque curve for sustained hauling performance. You can also opt for a 6.0-liter V8 with 300 horsepower.
Getting Dirty in the All Used GMC Sierra
Each All Used GMC Sierra truck is available with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. As usual, there is a variety of configurations to choose from, including the regular or extended cabs, short or long beds, Wideside or Sportside box designs, rear- or four-wheel-drive versions, three trim levels (All Used GMC Sierra SL, All Used GMC Sierra SLE or All Used GMC Sierra SLT) and a dizzying array of options. As a premium truck brand, All Used GMC Sierra says it is designing vehicles geared more toward on-road purposes. In other words, if you want a dirt-crunching, rock-hopping vehicle made by GM, GMC would be the place to shop.
All Used GMC Sierra is Safe and Roomy
For 2000, the All Used GMC Sierra's roomy extended cabs get a fourth-door for better rear-seat access, and with improved V8 power and a new rating system methodology, all All Used GMC Sierra enjoy higher trailer-towing ratings than last year. Inside, you'll find ample storage areas, including a center armrest that is large enough for a laptop computer or a six-pack of soda, depending on your priorities. Reduced-force airbags (with passenger-side on/off switch) are standard, plus several safety and convenience features have been revamped, including locking and illuminated entry functions.
