This 1997 GMC Sierra 1500 gives you a fuel-injected V8, a loaded extended cab interior, and the right upgrades to be a helpful friend.



The GMCs from this era feel like red-blooded Americans, and so it's terrific to see this one fully done in red. It's an update later in life, and so you get a good shine to show off the clean body panels. It makes for a good look that doesn't stray from a true cruiser style. And we like how this one loves to have a true classic American look. You see it in the genuine American Racing Torq Thrust wheels (but in a modern 20-inch size), brightly polished dual exhaust tips, and GM's famous cowl hood. But what you'll also love is the versatility. A fully Rhino Liner protected bed and a proper trailer hitch keep this GMC quite handy.



It's unknown if the odometer reflects the truck's actual mileage, but the interior has an impressive level of care that gives this a young and fresh feeling. The velour seating is quite comfy, and since this is an extended cab, you can share the experience with up to four more family and friends. There's even a passenger-side half-door to make it easier to get people and cargo inside. But no matter how many people are along for the ride, your seat will always feel like a command position. You have a high-back bucket seat that has a fold-down armrest and power lumbar adjustment. A truck like this remains in demand because it's also a very comfortable machine. It has features like modern cold blowing R134a air conditioning, power windows, power locks, a cup holder center console, anti-lock brakes, dual airbags, cruise control, and a premium AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD player. There's a full gauge package, which is always handy for real truck duty, and the tilt steering column gives you a clear view of it all.



Under the hood is the hardy GM small block V8. This 305 cubic-inch is part of the later Vortec series, and it has the desirable fuel injection. The 700R4 transmission is the ideal pairing because it's stout enough to pull real truck duty, and it's also smooth enough to really enjoy everyday overdrive cruising. Power steering, power brakes, front discs, and grippy ZR-rated tires are all part of this all-around nice driving package.



Complete with owner's manual, this truck has style, versatility, and an affordable price. So if you want a full package modern classic, this GMC does it right. Call now!
