If hauling heavy loads is one of your priorities, then the Sierra 1500 should be more than able to meet your needs. Depending on the engine configuration, it can easily tow large campers or boats for a nice family weekend out. The diesel engine can tow up to 13,200 pounds.

The 16-way power front seats with a massage function are also best in class, making sure the driver and front seat passenger will be as comfortable as possible.
