Design
This addition to the GMC lineup proves that a rough and tumble beast of a truck can also look clean, sleek, and stylish. The tall grille, sharp corners, and creased fender give it a pleasingly modern look that isn’t as aggressive compared to most pickups, but definitely not boring. Not to mention the amazing chrome trimming looks amazing on this model.
The interior is just as sharp and modern with its comprehensive dashboard and central control system. Smooth and not overly refined, the interior offers the perfect atmosphere for this luxury pickup.
The 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 also offers five configurations to choose from. Each configuration allows you to choose from regular (2 doors) cab, double cab (4-doors long front short back), or crew cab (four regular doors). You can also pick between a standard bed and large bed. The regular is 78.86 inches while the large is 97.76 inches. The regular cab can only have a large bed though.
No one expects such a beast to have a warm and cozy inside, but the 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 delivers just that. Available heated and ventilated perforated leather-appointed front seating will make you feel like you are at home in your favorite recliner. Spaciousness is also going to add to that comfort since this truck is a massive 224-258 inches in length 80-96 inches in width and 78 inches in height, and all the cargo can just go in the large bed to make it even roomier.
