QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF WHEN PICKING THE PERFECT 2020 GMC SIERRA 1500 FOR YOUR NEEDS

Have you ever gone to one of those restaurants that actually has too much stuff on the menu? Not just three or four chicken dishes, but 20. Not just one or two different types of tacos, but 35. Having options for your money is great, but at a certain point, TOO MANY options can actually cloud your judgement. 

If that’s the case with tacos and chicken cordon bleu, just imagine having too many options when trying to make one of the biggest purchases you’ll make for years, which is your next truck! The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is a heck of a truck, and because GMC believes in making the truck fit the person instead of the other way around, there’s plenty of…

options to choose from, including trim packages, engine options, 4×4 vs. 4×2, colors, interior options, technology and safety options and more. 

McLarty Daniel Buick GMC wants to help all our customers make the best buying decision when it comes to their new vehicle. Seen below, check out a few great questions to ask yourself when shopping for a new GMC Sierra 1500 truck. Don’t see the burning question that’s on your mind? We’re happy to answer any and all! Just give us a call to set up a personal test drive, or check out our huge selection of GMC Sierra models on our website right now. 

1) What’s Your Budget?: Money makes the world go round, and not many of us are lucky enough to have an unlimited supply of it. With that in mind, before you start picking out your new Sierra, you need to think realistically about how much you can afford, taking into account not only the price and monthly payment, but other factors like insurance, financing, how many miles per year you drive and more. The good news is: the financing department at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC is always ready to help customers figure out exactly what they can spend on a new vehicle, and our sales staff is always ready to cut the sweet deals others won’t or can’t, which can get you more truck for your money. 

2) Are You Going to Be Doing A Lot of Towing and Hauling?: No truck does towing better than the 2020 Sierra 1500, which is built from the ground up to be a workhorse no matter how fancy the trim or option package. That said, the question of whether you’re going to be doing a lot of towing and hauling should figure into your decision when picking your Sierra. If you are, you might want to opt for a larger engine with more torque, or the all-new Duramax inline six turbo diesel. There’s also a slew of standard and available towing-specific options you can get on the new 2020 Sierra 1500, including towing cameras, wired to the in-dash touchscreen, that can make your trailer appear invisible on the screen, giving you an unobstructed view of what’s behind you so you can back up without anxiety. 

3) Will Your Sierra be Used Mostly on the Street, or Do You Plan on Doing Some Off-Roading?: A lot of people go ahead and buy a 2020 Sierra 1500 4×4 just because they like the big, burly look of a four wheel drive pickup, and it’s always nice to have the extra capability. If you’re not planning on going off-road all that much, however, you might be able to skip the extra expense and weight of 4×4 running gear and go with a 2020 GMC Sierra 4×2 model. That said: if you’re looking for the ultimate off-roader with a look that can stop traffic, check out the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, which features distinctive exterior features exclusive to the AT4, a factory suspension lift, mud-rated Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires, and your choice of either the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter gasoline V8, or the torque-monster 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel engine. 

4) Do You Want A Show Pony or a Workhorse?: Don’t get us wrong: every 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is ready to make your toughest days easier the minute you drive off the lot, no matter how fancy the trim level. That said: not every buyer buys a GMC Sierra solely for its world-class capability, towing capacity and power. All six trims levels of the Sierra are ready to get to work for you. That said, some folks buy a new Sierra as a rolling office, a place to meet (and impress) clients, or just as a symbol of their success in life. That’s fine too, because we love putting drivers in their ultimate dream-truck! The 2020 Sierra Denali, for example, is the pinnacle of GMC luxury, with interior detailing, amenities and materials that rival fine European luxury cars, plus sophisticated exterior details and badging that make the Sierra Denali a real head-turner. Not everybody can afford a Sierra Denali, of course, but what fun would owning one be if everybody had one? 

Here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, we know that there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all truck, because what each buyer needs from their truck is so different. That said: by asking yourself these four questions and choosing your new Sierra carefully, you’ll be able to find the Sierra that not only fits your needs but will be a truck you’ll be proud to drive for years. Ready to buy a 2020 GMC Sierra in Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale or Fayetteville, Arkansas? Then stop in today at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, or shop our big selection online right now.
