2000 GMC Sierra Classic 2500 Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

Work trucks don't need to be pretty. Just because the redesigned half-ton Sierra is already on the market, don't overlook these tried-and-true heavy-duty haulers.

Pros

Rugged platform, powerful V8 engine options, traditional truck styling.

Cons

Aging design, interior plastic not in keeping with GMC's premium truck brand image.

What's New for 2000

GM has refined the Sierra Classic lineup, dropping all 1500 Series (half-ton) trucks in favor of workhorse 2500 (three-quarter-ton) and 3500 (one-ton) Series models. The only other news is the addition of a new paint color, as this old truck platform (based on the previous-generation C/K pickup) soldiers on for a final year.
