What should I look for when buying a used GMC Sierra 1500?

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: GMC’s standard safety features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and a rear-seat reminder, while Denali and Denali Ultimate models can also be equipped with Super Cruise.
• Infotainment: SLE and higher models get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.4-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Google Built-In features.
• Fuel efficiency: The Duramax diesel is Natural Resources Canada-rated at 9.2 litres per 100 kilomtres combined with RWD and 9.6 L/100 km combined with 4WD.

Fuel economy goes up into typical truck territory with the gasoline powertrains. The TurboMax four-cylinder engine will achieve 12 L/100 km combined in some configurations, with the two V8 engines in the 14 to 16 L/100 km range.
