Pre-Owned 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD SLE1 Crew Cab in Dallas, TX

The 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 is the upscale cousin to the Chevy Silverado, offering the same proven mechanics with a slightly more refined design and feel. Equipped with the 5.3L V8 engine, this truck delivers a strong balance of performance, comfort, and durability-making it a popular choice for work and daily use alike.

Performance

The 5.3L Vortec V8 is the most common engine choice for good reason. It provides excellent torque for towing and smooth highway performance. It pulls confidently under load and has enough grunt for passing and merging, even when fully loaded.

• Horsepower: 315 hp

• Torque: 338 lb-ft

• Transmission: 4-speed auto (smooth but dated by today’s standards)

• Towing: Can tow up to 9,500 lbs when properly equipped

This engine features Active Fuel Management (AFM), which deactivates half the cylinders during light driving to improve fuel economy. It works in principle, but some long-term reliability concerns have been associated with this system.

Driving & Handling

The Sierra handles well for a full-size truck, with composed road manners and a comfortable ride. The Z71 Off-Road Package (if equipped) includes tuned shocks, skid plates, and off-road suspension, which adds capability without sacrificing comfort.

Steering is light and predictable, and it soaks up road imperfections better than some competitors from the same era.

Interior & Comfort

Compared to the Silverado, the GMC Sierra has a slightly more upscale interior, especially in SLE and SLT trims. While still truck-tough, it features:

• Better materials and trim accents

• Optional leather seats (SLT)

• Dual-zone climate control

• Power seats and available heated seats

• Optional premium Bose audio system

Cabin space is generous in crew cab models, and the layout is practical. Tech and infotainment are basic by modern standards but functional for the time.
