2009 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE1 Ext. Cab SB

When a little bit of nimbleness is needed in city traffic and crowded lots, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE1 Ext. Cab SB full-size pickup is just the ticket. Sporting a sawed-off 5.8-foot bed, this truck features four doors (with rear “suicide doors”), seating for six passengers, and all the rest of the standard and optional goodies common to the SLE lineup, as well as 10 inches less of total vehicle length.

The ’09 Sierra 1500 SLE1 Ext. Cab SB packs a standard 295-hp, 305-lb-ft/torque 4.8-liter V8 and four-speed automatic transmission. Both the 315-hp, 5.3-liter and 367-hp 6.0-liter V8, the latter with a six-speed automatic transmission, are also available with the ’09 Sierra 1500 SLE1 Ext. Cab SB.
