2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Work Truck

The 2013 Sierra 1500 is GMC's full-size pickup, the one you cross-shop with the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 when you want a truck that's a bit more upscale. It drives like a proper full-size truck, with a steady, planted feel on the highway and a ride that's comfortable when unloaded, though you'll feel bumps more than in a car. The cabin is roomy and straightforward, with available leather and wood trim on higher trims, and the crew cab offers generous rear-seat space for passengers or gear. Tech includes available navigation, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera, plus GM's OnStar system for emergency services and remote diagnostics. The Work Truck is the base Sierra, so you skip the chrome and convenience gear of the SLE and SLT, but you get the same sturdy full-size pickup bones. Under the hood is a 4.3L V6 with 195 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, which is enough for light hauling and everyday driving. This two-door regular cab seats three, and with a curb weight of 4,460 pounds, it's the lightest Sierra you can get, so it feels a bit more nimble than the bigger cabs.
