Sierra 1500 capitalizes on a
wide front track and a boxed
frame with high torsional rigidity.
Torsional rigidity—resistance to
twisting — contributes to dura-
bility and to performance. By
hydroforming the front rails, our
engineers eliminated several
welds, allowing for tighter pack-
aging and improved fit at bolting
points. The rear rails are fully
boxed all the way back to the
spare tire cross-member, where
they become C-Channel. This
sophisticated design helps boost
payload capacity without signifi-
cantly increasing vehicle weight.
Ingenious hydraulic body mounts,
standard on select models, securely
link the cab to the frame, but in
a way that isolates occupants from
road (or off-road) noise and vibration.
