Full Size Pickup, 1/2 Ton
2010 GMC Sierra 1500
|
In this highly competitive, high-volume pickup segment, it wasn’t surprising to see a close fight for the honor of Vincentric’s Best Value in America for 2010. But when the results were in, the GMC Sierra 1500 earned the right to haul the Vincentric trophy back to General Motors headquarters. Although the Toyota Tundra (runner-up among 2WD truck) and the Chevrolet Silverado (runner-up among 4WD trucks) both showed strengths, they didn’t show the strong, balanced results of the Sierra.
