2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Work Truck

2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab 4x4 Short bed pickup GM's full-size trucks and SUVs are among the safest on the market, and the 2011 Sierra is no different. Not surprisingly, GM's StabiliTrak stability control system with rollover mitigation technology forms the backbone of the Sierra's safety suite of features. Seat mounted side airbags and head curtain side airbags are standard equipment, and the truck's available safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate in rear end crash situations. Motor Trend, 2011  For consignment, a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab 4x4 short bed pickup truck with 60,032 actual miles. This is a one family truck with the 5.3 liter V8 under the hood and based on its appearance, the claim of being garage kept is no conspiracy theory!   Exterior Handsome lines that blend curved corners and slab panels are dressed in Olympic White paint which earns a gold medal from us! This is the era when grilles were growing and a substantial front bumper is chrome capped by black while integrated stacked headlights and marker lights curve gently around the corner; no square body here! The chrome running board runs under both doors and a matching Leer cap is downright aerodynamic in profile. Tinted windows and rain guards are not only functional, but boost esthetics on a truck that could very easily blend in. 18-inch wheels are just this side of sporty and add a touch of color with the red GMC logo which appears in billboard sized letters up front. Rock chips along the sides and a scratch in the Leer are the only imperfections we note.  Interior There's no shortage of molded plastic on the door panels and it creates robust units that provide storage, armrests, and of course, hardware. Other than some minor evidence of use on the driver's door, they present near perfect in gray. The front bucket seats are covered with Carhart branded slip covers to protect them and the rear bench shows the patterns of bi-colored gray and all are in great shape. Like work trucks of old, the front is more no frills with a standard four spoke steering wheel with light patina fronting four gauges under a textured plastic dash cover. The integrated AM/FM/CD radio, A/C panel, and 12 volt ports live on the center stack with near seamless application while the range selector is on the floor along with protective mats. The bed is white and uncoated and shows minor use but is overall clean.  Drivetrain Under the hood we find a clean, fuel injected 5.3 liter V8 rated at 315 horsepower and mated to a 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission. Power is initially routed to the 10 bolt rear axle with 3.42 gears and Positraction, and when called for the front differential can be engaged to get you out of a sticky situation.  Undercarriage No runs, drip, or errors under here as other than some road dust, the underside is clean and original looking. Power brakes are split front disc and rear drum, a single exhaust still runs through original equipment including the muffler, and suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in back. There is a hitch receiver under the step bumper in back.  Drive-Ability Really, what's not to love. Practically analog by today's standard, the uncomplicated interior and straight forward 5.3 take us around the test loop without issue. The truck is comfortable, clean and functional. In fact, everything works as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Looking for a clean 4x4 but don't want to pay today's prices for a new truck? Take a look at this gently used 2011 GMC. Use it for pleasure or business. If it's a business, think of the possibilities with decals and paint on this white canvas! This fine rig awaits a new owner. 1GTR2TE31BZ145178 1-USA G-General Motors T-GMC Truck R-6,001 To 7,000 GVWR 2-4x4 T-1500
