GMC officially said out with the old, in with the new in 2007 and the purge included the old Sierra 1500. However, this half-ton pickup got a nice going away ceremony by getting labeled as 'Classic' as it makes way for the remodeled Sierra 1500. The main difference you'll find from the new 1500 comes from the stiffer ride and lower quality materials that necessitated the remodelling.

Regardless, most GMC fans will say good riddance to the old model. If you need to save a little money and don't need the extra luxury, the Sierra Classic 1500 provides a solid option for anyone in the market for a smaller domestic pickup.
