The 2016 GMC Sierra for buyers
No 2016 GMC Sierra is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2016 GMC Sierra? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Sierra
There are 13 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 5.3L 8-cylinder hybrid, with rear-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 35 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $54.87 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Sierra
It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.
How big it is
It is built for loads that would never fit in a trunk.
A longer test drive
Rent the Sierra for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Sierra answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Want a price?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 GMC Sierra from us first.
