Reviews SummaryThe Sierra 1500 capitalizes on its smart interior and mature exterior with commonsense improvements and creature comforts that are commonplace to many full-size pickups nowadays. With three different powertrains—one of which may be a little too much—and a bevy of interior features including an 8-inch touchscreen, the GMC Sierra 1500 places itself well among its competition. | |
Reviews SummaryWith options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate. | |
