Video: 2008 GMC Sierra All Terrain

http://www.cars.com/go/video/player...._Sierra_QD.flv



Unlike other truck builders, which rely on one nameplate for success in the full-size truck market, GM offers two models — the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra — that share the same platform and have other similarities. The Silverado is far and away the more popular of the two models, but truck buyers shouldn't overlook the Sierra just because there aren't as many of them. For a truck, the GMC offers a refined driving experience and, in higher trim levels, an upscale cabin that wouldn't be out of place in a premium SUV.

The interior is nice, but I was really hoping that it would be more of an off-road package.

It's incredible what kinds of jobs a little piece of paper that says you studied journalism will get you.

Re: Video: 2008 GMC Sierra All Terrain

Sounds like more of a promotional piece written by the manufacturuer than a legitimate review.

Good point, but you're forgetting that unlike other truck builders, which rely on one nameplate for success in the full-size truck market, GM offers two models — the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra — that share the same platform and have other similarities.

The journalist mentions how the Denali line has the 403 horsepower 6.2 liter V8. In fact, the detuned 380 horsepower version is featured in the Denali. He really should have done some research.

On that part, he was actually right. The Sierra Denali gets all 403 horses. The Yukon Denali however gets the detuned version rated at 380-hp to better differentiate it from the Escalade.

Nope, GMC's website points out that the 6.2 Liter V-8 in the Denali produces 403 horses.

See: Sierra website. Check out the last column.

Seems like he may have done his research on that point.
