2000 GMC C/K 2500 GMC C/K 2500 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 Classic SL 2WD Crew Cab HD SB Full-size Pickup Crew Cab RWD Arlington, TX 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. Rugged platform, powerful V8 engine options, traditional truck styling. Aging design, interior plastic not in keeping with GMC's premium truck brand image. The GMC Sierra became the "Sierra Classic" to distinguish the old C/K-derived version from the all-new Silverado-based Sierra that arrived in showrooms for 1999. To help bolster stocks of work-oriented pickups until heavy-duty derivatives of the new Sierra can be built, this previous-generation model continues to be offered, albeit now only in 2500 or 3500 series form. In other words, if you want a traditional half-ton pickup, you've got to buy the new Sierra. Like last year, changes are limited to some mechanical upgrades and a new exterior paint color, Emerald Green. After the all-new Sierra hit the showrooms, it made no sense for further revisions to this stopgap version whose days were numbered. So why bother even considering a brand-new copy of the old model? Simple: It's all a matter of availability, and cost. Available as a regular cab, extended cab, four-door crew cab and even as a bare-bones chassis cab in either two- or four-wheel drive, these trucks are both plentiful and competitively priced. Besides, some truck traditionalists actually prefer the Classic's squared-off look over the new Sierra's sculpted lines.
