Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

For the most part, reviewers didn't comment on the 2010 GMC Sierra's looks, noting that most buyers don't buy pickups for their styling.  Those that did comment on how the truck looks were positive about its handsome styling.

What's more important to the pickup market is how many configurations are available on the truck, and how useful the exterior is. The Sierra is available with three different size cargo beds: short box (69.3 inches long), standard box (78.7 inches long), and long box (97.6 inches long). Yet, due to a limited wheelbase, not all bed lengths are available on all cab configurations. The regular cab pickup is available only with either the standard or long box cargo beds. The extended cab pickup is available with any of the three cargo beds. The crew cab is only available with short box cargo beds. One feature that most reviewers found interesting was the optional E-Z lift lockable tailgate, which requires minimum effort to open and close due to a torsion bar installed on the hinges.

A cargo management system is optional on all Sierras. It is a factory-installed system of rails mounted on the inside of the box sides and can be connected to a variety of GMC accessories, such as sliding metal dividers, a commercial overhead rack, a sliding metal tool box, or sliding metal side storage boxes.

• "A powerful and muscular presence," -- Car and Driver
• "We very much liked the styling of our GMC, with a rather bold front end that said All American Truck." -- MarketWatch
• "I prefer the Sierra's chiseled front end mainly because it looks manlier - always a good thing where trucks are concerned - and more assertive " -- Cars.com
