GMC says ride, handling and interior noise levels were also improved. As before, the Sierra shares a platform with the Yukon and Yukon XL full-size SUVs. The varieties are overwhelming: regular, extended and Crew Cab body styles short, standard and long cargo box lengths multiple powertrain combinations and multiple suspension packages and trim levels. Of course there's also rear- or four-wheel drive. For 2008, XM Satellite Radio is now standard, and light-duty Sierras get a trailer brake controller that aids drivers when towing. Twenty-two-inch rims are available from GMC dealers, and a new All Terrain trim level features skid plates, 18-inch chrome wheels, Rancho shocks, a chrome grille and trim, special badges and unique gauges. Heavy-duty dualie trucks now have 17-inch wheels. Despite a concerted effort by General Motors to differentiate the Sierra more than ever from the Chevrolet Silverado, its sister model, they succeed only to a point. Competitors include the Dodge Ram, Ford F-150, Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra. (Skip to details on the: 2500HD , 3500HD ) Exterior The Sierra's exterior styling changed with its 2007 redesign. It's different and modernized, and though it has different hood and fender shapes, it still isn't wildly different from the Silverado. Its headlights are stacked vertically, like the Silverado's, but the Sierra's are more squat. A taller bumper rests immediately under them. Where the Silverado's disproportionately large grille is chrome-heavy, it's dark and only rimmed with chrome in most of the Sierra trims. The Denali model retains its signature perforated chrome plate grille. On both models, the windshield is more swept back, yet the nose is taller and more squared off. The end result is better aerodynamics, which plays a part in the improved fuel economy. The official trim levels are WT (work truck), SLE1, SLE2, SLT and Denali, the wheels of which range from 17 to 22 inches in diameter. The Denali's standard 18s and optional 20s are unique to the trim level. The cargo bed lengths are 5 feet 8 inches, 6 feet 6 inches and 8 feet. Not all lengths are available with all cab styles and powertrains, though. Interior This new Sierra generation has markedly improved interior quality, with less-plasticky plastics and lower shine. The WT and SLE trim levels have an interior design all their own, with a different dashboard and larger controls and handles (for easier operation with gloved hands, GMC says). Storage capacity has grown thanks to a double glove compartment and even-larger center storage consoles. The SLE1 has a 40/20/40-split front seat. Not really a bench, this configuration is like two bucket seats with a small seat between them that converts into a center armrest/console. It has a lockable bin in the center seat and another in its backrest/armrest. Leather is optional on the SLE trims, with a six-way power driver's seat added in the SLE2. The higher trim levels get a different interior layout borrowed from the Yukon SUV, intended more for personal pickup users than for workers. In addition to the different dashboard, door panels and trim, the SLT adds heated leather seats with 12-way power adjustment for the driver, a six-CD changer with Bose speakers and heated windshield washers. The Denali has exclusive leather and trim and a unique steering wheel and center console, as well as power adjustment for the passenger seat. Adjustable pedals, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone climate control, remote starting, rain-sensing windshield wipers and sonar rear parking assist are some of the Denali's standard equipment. In addition to added front-seat legroom, headroom and
