GMC Sierra Window Sticker

The GMC Sierra window sticker — build, options & years

The GMC Sierra ran from 1989–2026 across 8 generations (1994–1998, 1999–2002, 2003, 2004–2005, 2006–2008, 2009–2010, 2011–2019, 2020–2026). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Diesel fuel, Rear-Wheel Drive powertrain.

Which year's sticker do I need? Any GMC Sierra VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2009, 2010, 2011; the most-complained-about are 2000, 1999, 2002. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full GMC Sierra VIN decoder.

What the GMC Sierra sticker says about fuel

Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Sierra, latest tested year 2026:

The label also prints an estimated $2,700 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 567 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Sierra under Standard Pickup Trucks/2wd, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the Sierra's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1989 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a Sierra sticker from one year with another:

Over that span the combined figure rose by 14 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Safety ratings printed on the label

The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Sierra sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:

Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

What a used Sierra sells for now

The label froze the Sierra price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Sierra by model year, from 2,104 live US listings:

A 2026 Sierra asks a median $64,000 today, a 2015 about $19,900. Full breakdown on the GMC Sierra value page.

What's on the GMC Sierra sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 33 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 5 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every Sierra VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a GMC Sierra

1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Sierra, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a GMC Sierra all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A GMC Sierra whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
