GMC #sierra 1500 is PickupTrucks.com Towing Champ

Strong performance, efficiency pulls #sierra to front of light-duty #truck segment


DETROIT – The #gmc #sierra 1500 today was named the 2016 Texas #truck Showdown Towing Champion, in a head-to-head capability test conducted by editors from Cars.com, PickupTrucks.com and MrTruck.com.


They praised their #sierra 1500 SLT test #truck, which was equipped with the available 6.2L V-8 engine – the segment’s most powerful gas engine – and eight-speed automatic transmission, for its effortless performance. It offered a max trailering rating of 12,000 lbs.


“This is a mild-mannered #pickup that is ready to don its cape and do some heavy lifting, saving the day from a long list of work chores,” said Mark Williams, PickupTrucks.com editor. “The engine and transmission are synced up like a smooth-flying jet rocket.”


And while it had the largest, most powerful engine in the test – 420 hp and 460 lb-ft – the #sierra also ranked first in fuel economy with a trailer. The other competitors included:

  • Ford F-150 Lariat with the 3.5L V-6 EcoBoost

  • Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ with the 5.3L V-8

  • Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn with the 5.7L V-8

  • Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition with the 5.7L V-8.


“This recognition validates everything #gmc stands for: powerful #truck capability uniquely coupled with premium appointments and refinement,” said #sierra Marketing Manager Stuart Pierce. “Combined with bold new styling for 2016 and its crafted interior, the #sierra handles the toughest tasks in the utmost comfort.”

 

A five-part series outlining the evaluation begins today at www.pickuptrucks.com. As one of their most extensive comparison tests, which was conducted over a weeklong period in the Houston area, it included 20 objective tests, as well as six additional categories. 


Technology was one of the categories and the #sierra scored high for its new Apple CarPlay and Android #auto capability.


“Apple CarPlay simplifies using an iPhone in the #truck easier than any other multimedia system,” said Joe Bruzek, Cars.com.


The 2016 Best Light-Duty #truck for Towing award is the third recent accolade for #gmc from PickupTrucks.com. The Canyon took the crown in their 2015 Midsize #truck Shootout and the 2015 #sierra 3500HD claimed the top spot in the Ultimate Heavy Duty Challenge.


GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, with innovation and engineering excellence built into all #gmc vehicles. The brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. GMC’s highest-volume vehicle, the #sierra #pickup, is the most powerful light-duty #pickup on the market, and the first full-size #pickup to receive the highest-possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year. Details on all #gmc models are available at http://www.gmc.com/, on Twitter at @thisisgmc or at http://www.facebook.com/gmc.
