Overview: Not just another pickup, this is the GMC Sierra 2500HD

The 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD is a full-size pickup truck manufactured by General Motors. It is offered in 2-wheel drive (2WD) and 4-wheel drive (4WD) versions.

The Sierra 2500HD is available in three body-styles: Regular Cab, Extended Cab, and Crew Cab, and two cargo box sizes: Standard Box and Long Box.

The Regular Cab is available only with the Long Box, while the Extended Cab and Crew Cab are available with Standard and Long Box.

The Regular Cab is available in two trims: Work Truck and SLE1, while the Extended Cab and Crew Cab are available in four trim levels each: Work Truck, SLE1, SLE2, and SLT. All trims have different seating configurations.

The Sierra 2500HD comes with a powertrain warranty for five years or 100,000 miles and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for three years or 36,000 miles.

The 2500HD competes with the likes of Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram 1500, Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra.

Engine and Performance: Typifies capability and performance

All trims of the Sierra 2500HD are powered by a standard Vortec 6.0-liter V-8 engine, which delivers 353 hp and 373 lb-ft. of torque. This engine is linked to a standard electronically-controlled, heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and tow/haul mode.

However, all trims are also available with the option of a Duramax Turbo Diesel 6.6-liter V-8 engine, which churns out 365 hp and 660 lb-ft. of torque. This engine is linked to an electronically controlled Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, electronic engine grade braking, and tow/haul mode.

The transmission’s tow/haul mode reduces shift busyness while towing or hauling and provides auto grade braking.

Walk-around: Rough & tough, but in a stylish way

The Sierra 2500 looks tough and brawny, yet uniquely stylish. Its length varies from 224.7 to 258.7 inches, while the wheelbase ranges from 133.0 to 167.0 inches, depending upon the trim level. The front fascia of 2500HD is adorned by a chrome front bumper, chrome grille surround, black air dam, and dual halogen composite headlamps, which include automatic exterior lamp control and flash-to-pass feature. The large grille sports the bold GMC insignia in its middle.

Daytime running lamps, with automatic exterior lamp control are also standard on all trims. Front halogen fog lamps are standard on SLE1, SLE2, and SLT, and optional on the Work Truck.

Driving Impressions: Impressive driving dynamics offer a smooth ride

The Sierra 2500HD is available in 2WD and 4WD layouts. Both are competent, though the 4WD offers enhanced traction to the 2500HD’s wheels on slippery terrains. The 2500HD is navigated by a power recirculating-ball steering, which offers quick and direct responses.The 2500HD is powered by a standard Vortec 6.0L V-8 engine, which delivers an impressive power of 353 hp and remarkable acceleration for driving on all kinds of terrains and under all kinds of conditions. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and tow/haul mode, which not only shifts smoothly, but also improves the fuel-economy. It rides on an independent front suspension with torsion-bar, while the rear suspension includes 2-stage multi-leaf semi-elliptic springs. This suspension system largely reduces the impact of bumps or jerks on roads and gives a comfortable, smooth ride. It is equipped with 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, which shoot out vigorous stopping power and bring it to a quick halt.All trims are also available with the option of heavy-duty automatic locking rear differential, which evenly distributes power to both rear wheels in slippery conditions. At lower speeds, the differential automatically senses wheel spin, locks the rear axle and transfers torque to the rear wheel with more traction, thereby helping the driver to handle slippery terrains effectively.Ultrasonic rear parking assist with rear-view LED display and audible warning is optional on the SLE1, SLE2, and SLT trim levels of the Extended Cab and Crew Cab models. With a turning diameter ranging from 45.3 to 55.1 feet, you will have to be a little cautious while driving or parking the 2500HD in tight spots. However, a high ground clearance of 9.5 inches readies it to take on irregular and rough terrains with great ease.

Safety: Engineered to protect you

The 2500HD comes equipped with numerous safety features to protect its occupants. It comes with safety seatbelts, frontal airbags for the driver and right front-passenger, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, PASSkey III Plus theft-deterrent system, remote keyless entry, a tire pressure monitoring system, and an OnStar system with one-year safe and sound service.

OnStar is an in-vehicle safety and security system created to help protect passengers on the road. OnStar's innovative three-button system offers 24-hour access to expertly trained and caring advisors, a connection to emergency assistance, and access to OnStar hands-free calling.
