Heavy Duty 1 Ton Pickup
2009 GMC Sierra HD 3500
|
| Despite challenges from redesigned products from Ford and Dodge, the Sierra 3500 made a repeat performance as a winner of Vincentric’s Best Value in America award in the 1 ton pickup segment, with its sister vehicle, the Chevrolet Silverado, taking second place. The low operating costs of the Sierra were the key to its victory. |
