The GMC Sierra is everything we love in a Chevy Silverado but with an enormous configurability. It is made for optimal performance with its V8 turbo diesel engine that delivers excellent mileage figures and two different speed transmissions; an eight-speed and a ten-speed automatic transmission. This light-duty pickup truck has a max rating of about 13,000 pounds, making its max towing and hauling capacity almost excellent.
The dirt-purposed truck features four different engines, including a 2.7-liter four-cylinder that generates 310 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, a Duramax turbo-diesel with a torque of about 460 pounds, a 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8, and a 355 horsepower 5.3-liter V-8. It also comes with a rear or an all-wheel drive.
While shipping your GMC Sierra, you will be required to choose between open transport or closed transport carriers. Closed transport helps reduce the risk of damage to the exterior parts of your truck and exposure to the elements. In contrast, open transport greatly increases the chances of your truck incurring minor damage. However, open transport is more common and cost-effective.
Your decision to use either the closed or open transport options depends on how expensive your GMC Sierra truck is, based on the trim, and if you have a little more money to spare.
We know you don’t want to experience any hassle while trying to ship your GMC Sierra. However, there are a few things you need to put in place to prepare your truck for shipping adequately. Here are some of the things you need to do;
It is important you clean or wash down the exterior and interior of your truck before cleaning to remove excess grime, dirt, and dust that might have settled on it. A clean truck allows you to easily spot any damages, such as dents and scratches, before shipping.
Thoroughly check the interior and exterior of the truck for any leak, discoloration, tear, dent, or scratch in and on the truck before shipping. If there are any leaks, ensure you get them fixed before shipping. You can file it down or take pictorial evidence of the already existing damage. This allows you to notice any extra damage that might have been done to your car during shipping.
This is one of the most important steps to consider before you ship your GMC Sierra. Only ship your truck with a tank that is a quarter full. You could even ship it with a little less than that. A full tank adds more weight to the truck, which could risk the shipment and be more expensive.
Other steps to take before shipping your truck include; removing all valuable items from the truck, like jewelry, important documents, money, gadgets, etc. Ensure the parking brake is working and that all-important fluids, like brake oil, transmission fluid, etc., are full. Also, ensure you lock the truck after it has been loaded unto the carrier.
