IMPORTANT WORDS/ SIERRA
ONSTAR
OnStar is a core asset of your Sierra. Benefiting from more than a decade of innovative
development, it is both a highly advanced technology—fully integrated within the vehicle—
and a warm human service. Standard on most Sierra models are six months of the OnStar Directions
& Connections plan, including the convenience of Hands-Free Calling. It also includes Automatic
Crash Response (see page 20), Stolen Vehicle Assistance, link to Emergency Services, Roadside
Assistance, Remote Door Unlock (requires power door locks), OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, Crisis Assist
and Remote Horn and Lights. OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless
service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar
acts as a link to existing emergency service providers. Visit onstar.com for coverage maps, details and
system limitations. Services vary with conditions.
HANDS-FREE CALLING
OnStar Hands-Free Calling capability is built into your OnStar-equipped Sierra. It’s there when your
cell phone is unavailable, its battery is low, you can’t reach it easily or you left it home or in the office.
Your Hands-Free Calling system is the right choice whenever you need an easy way to make and receive
calls—at the touch of the phone icon on the rearview mirror or the steering-wheel-mounted controls shown
on page 16. Voice-activated dialing is convenient because you don’t have to dial when you are at the
wheel. And Hands-Free Calling is reliable because it’s specially designed for better reception and fewer
dropped calls in areas of limited cellular reception. You are invited to experience the benefits yourself
with 30 Hands-Free Calling minutes—on OnStar—during the first two months you drive your Sierra,
with no strings attached.
ONSTAR TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION
Standard on Sierra SL, SLE, SLT, and Denali models are six months of the OnStar Directions &
Connections plan that adds innovative, easy-to-use Turn-by-Turn Navigation plus Information and
Convenience Services and Driving Directions. With Turn-by-Turn Navigation, you simply tell the OnStar
Advisor your intended destination, and directions will automatically be sent to your Sierra. If you drive
off-course, the system can reroute you to your intended destination. An automated voice then guides you
turn-by-turn until you arrive at your destination. Turn-by-Turn Navigation is further enhanced with eNAV,
allowing you to send MapQuest®directions directly to your vehicle. No need to print out directions; just
call them up with simple voice commands.
XM RADIO
On all Sierra models except WT: XM Radio1is standard with 3 trial months of service.
XM turns your drive on with commercial-free music channels from virtually every genre, artist-dedicated

33% MORE FUEL EFFICIENT. 100% AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION.
Sierra Hybrid is the first two-mode hybrid in a full-size pickup, an accomplishment unmatched by the
competition. It takes the best of both gas and electric propulsion to provide you with the most efficient power
in a given driving situation. The result is a 33 percent increase in EPA-estimated city fuel economy compared
to our most efficient gasoline-only Sierra.1Better yet, this technology does not sacrifice capability. Sierra Hybrid
can handle over 1500 lbs of payload,
2and offers up to 6100 lbs of conventional trailering capacity.3

PROVEN
BATTERY POWER
To give your electric
drive system ample
power without sacrific-
ing capacity, Sierra
Hybrid has a 300-volt
battery pack built with
Nickel-Metal Hydride
(NiMH) technology. It
tucks under the rear
seat area, out of the
way, so your passenger
capacity and cargo
space are unchanged
from other Sierras.
FIGURE 2: ACTIVE
FUEL MANAGEMENT
(AFM)
For maximum fuel econ-
omy when you don’t need
extra power, AFM can
deactivate four of the
engine’s eight cylinders.
As the load and your
demands increase, the
cylinders can reactivate
within as little as 20
milliseconds to give you
maximum power for
trailering and passing.
At low speeds and light loads, Sierra Hybrid can reduce fuel consumption by shutting off the engine
and operating on electric power alone. It can also run on engine power alone, or a combination of both
gas and electric. In the city, this technology offers an EPA-estimated 20 mpg.
FIGURE 1: THE BEST FUEL ECONOMY OF ANY FULL-SIZE PICKUP4
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
During normal stops, regenerative braking uses the motors in the hybrid transmission as generators to
decelerate the vehicle by applying resistance in the motors rather than brake friction. At the same time,
the motors are capturing that energy as electricity in the 300-volt battery pack, electricity that is available
for the next acceleration cycle.
At highway speeds, Sierra uses its 6.0L V-8 VVT engine in either V-4 or V-8 operation—sometimes with an
extra boost of electric power— as conditions warrant. Full V-8 power is available for trailer towing, passing
or pulling on a long, steep grade. On the highway, Sierra Hybrid has an EPA-estimated 23 mpg.
VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT)
The heart of Sierra Hybrid is the 6.0L V-8 VVT that produces 332 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque.
The secret to this engine’s balanced power is variable valve timing. This feature helps the engine produce
near-peak levels of torque across a wide RPM range. This gives you both responsiveness in city driving
and bold acceleration for passing and trailering.

A FRAME ENGINEERED FOR YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES.
Sierra starts with more than just a frame and suspension. It is built from the belief that
control and driver comfort go hand in hand. From its sturdy hydroformed, boxed-rail
section chassis to its available automatic locking rear differential, every component is
engineered with the strength and capability to help you accomplish more every day.
SIERRA CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION
CARRYING THE LOAD
Sierra’s front suspension is a fully independent coil-over-shock design that has less
mass than a typical torsion-bar system for improved ride quality. The rear suspension
is a multi-stage leaf spring that progressively increases its support to match your
payload. This helps your Sierra feel stable and secure, no matter how hard it’s working.
FIGURE 3: BOXED FOR STRENGTH
HYDROFORM SOLID BOXED
Sierra’s frame is engineered with a hydroformed front section and closed-box side
rails for high strength. This construction helps to make the frame more resistant to
twisting while carrying heavy loads over uneven roads and gives a solid, stable feel
when the pavement is smooth.
FIGURE 4: CONFIDENT DRIVING
FIGURE 5: BRAKING AND STEERING
The StabiliTrak stability control system helps you stay on the path you are steering in
bad weather or on uneven road surfaces. The system senses when your vehicle is not
responding to your steering inputs, then adjusts engine speed and braking pressure to
any individual wheel to help maintain directional control.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL
YAW/LATERAL INERTIAL SENSOR
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR(S)
All Sierra models feature four-channel antilock brakes
for confident stopping in a variety of conditions. Rack-
and-pinion steering provides precise performance
and an on-center feel. It also offers low-speed assist
for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
SIERRA ALL-TERRAIN
Sometimes, there aren’t any roads where you’re going.
That’s why GMC created Sierra All-Terrain. This
package is available on 1500 2WD or 4WD Extended
or Crew Cab models with either the 5.3L V-8 VVT or
6.2L V-8 VVT and the famed Z71 Off-Road Suspension
Package. Sierra All-Terrain also includes Z82 trailering
equipment, Rancho Tenneco shocks and an Eaton®
automatic locking rear differential for off-road control,
while the bold chrome grille, special chrome-clad
18-inch aluminum wheels and All-Terrain emblems
set it apart from the rest.

SMOOTH SHIFTS WITH
EXCEPTIONAL CONTROL
The 6-speed heavy-duty auto-
matic transmission, standard
on all 5.3L and 6.2L V-8
Sierra 1500 Series pickups,
has several innovative features
for added control and confi-
dence. Driver Shift Control
(DSC) lets you select a range
of gears to suit variable
driving conditions simply
by moving the shift lever to
“M” and using the convenient
tap-up/-down button. Tow/Haul
mode raises upshift points to
use more of the engine’s power
for acceleration, and raises
downshift points to use engine
braking to slow your Sierra for
less noise and harshness.
Grade Braking (automatically
activated in Tow/Haul mode
but disengaged when DSC is
activated) senses when you want
to slow your Sierra, and if the
appropriate conditions are met,
implements a Grade Braking
shift schedule to help you
maintain your desired speed.
FLEXFUEL CAPABLE
All Sierra V-8 engines, except
for the 6.0L Hybrid, are
engineered to run on E851
ethanol, which is a blend of
15 percent regular gas and
85 percent ethanol.

KEEP YOUR
TRAILER UNDER
CONTROL
The available trailer
brake controller is com-
pletely integrated with
the vehicle’s electrical
and ABS systems,
allowing your trailer’s
brakes to operate
simultaneously with

This system can give
you greater control
of trailer braking force.
TRAILERING
READY. WILLING. AND CAPABLE.
Sierra has the capacity to put other pickups on the trailer. Literally. With
the available MAX Trailering Package on Extended and Crew Cab models,
Sierra can handle up to 10,700 lbs.1It includes features tailored for
trailering, from the 6.2L V-8 VVT and automatic locking rear differential,
to a frame-mounted hitch, complete trailer wiring harness, engine and
transmission oil coolers and a trailer brake controller.

THE POWER OF LEADING BY EXAMPLE.
The 403-hp 6.2L V-8 VVT makes Sierra the most powerful 1500 Series Crew
Cab in its class. It’s standard on Denali and available on Sierra Extended and
Crew Cab models. Every aspect of the 6.2L V-8 VVT is engineered for maximum power
and durability with advanced design techniques and high-quality materials. The result
is exceptional refinement, with power to spare for virtually any driving situation.
FIGURE 10: HORSEPOWER MEETS RELIABILITY
Performance is nothing without reliability. Like all Vortec V-8s, the 6.2L V-8 VVT
is designed for high strength with low friction. With a high-flowing induction system,
this engine gives you ample reserve power for passing or trailering.
PREMIUM MATERIALS FOR A LONG LIFE1
To keep Sierra performing at its best, it is engineered with premium materials for a
long life. Its iridium-tipped spark plugs and transmission fluid are both scheduled
to last up to 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions. The advanced
coolant has a service life of 5 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
