The 2021 Sierra is capable and daring. Recognized for being “professional grade”, the GMC Sierra boasts many industry firsts. Stout engines can be found in any pickup but only the GMC Sierra offers the 6-Function Multipro Tailgate, an available Rear Camera Mirror & HUD, a Carbon Fiber Truck Bed, and more cargo bed volume than the others. The 2021 Sierra is not like any pickup you have seen.
