The Vortec High Output (also know as the VHO by some enthusiasts) was first introduced in 2004 to a limited market (mainly consisting of Texas and several surrounding areas). The VHO package (under option code B4V) included several options previously not found on the standard 1500 model, ost notably the LQ9 6.0 liter V-8 engine (the same used for the Silverado SS and the Cadillac Escalade). The LQ9 motor was rated at 345 hp at 5200 rpm and 380 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm, hich was the same specifications shared in the SS models. The package also included one style of the newly introduced GM 20 inch wheels installed from the factory. The B4V package could only be ordered on an extended cab, ight duty, wheel drive Silverado or Sierra. This marked the first time the LQ9 engine was available for a two wheel drive application. For the 2006 model year the Vortec Max package replaced the VHO with an array of similar features and new badges. It was also made available for crew cab models (in addition to the extended cab) and customers were able to purchase these trucks outside of the original market of the VHO. The Vortec Max Performance package boasts an industry leading 10,000 pounds towing capacity.

Pull up next to it at a traffic light and you’ll hardly give it a second glance: It’s got GM’s classic truck lines and four-door, ull-size cab just like a standard Sierra. You’ve got to look close at the fender badge to spot the bright red VortecMax logo. That’s the only clue that you’re sitting next to some serious horsepower. Automotive editors scoff at the notion of the high-powered pickup truck. And they’ve got a good point: True performance is a blend of many attributes, ost notably power and a lightweight chassis. Since half-ton pickups aren’t known for being featherweights, t takes a lot of horsepower – and fuel – to deliver performance when you stomp on the gas pedal. The Sierra VortecMax does deliver what it promises, hough. GMC accomplishes this by packing a high-output Vortec 6000 gas engine under the hood. This power plant churns out 345 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 380 pounds-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. That’s enough power to burn the tires in first gear and fishtail the back end when you hit second; it’s also serious power for towing and hauling on a jobsite. That’s because all that power is matched with a four-speed, uper-duty automatic transmission and 4.1 rear axle ratio with locking rear differential. There’s a ride control suspension package, xternal engine and transmission auxiliary oil coolers and a heavy-duty trailering package, oo. All told, he VortecMax can handle up to 10,400 pounds of towing capacity. Performance enhancements aside, hat puts the Sierra in a towing performance capacity on par with the Nissan Titan and Hemi-equipped Dodge Ram. Because most of the VortecMax’s tweaks are under the hood, ts interior is similar to a standard Sierra pickup truck. The leather seats are easily adjustable and comfortable. Dual climate control, ilt steering, ull instrumentation and Bose stereo can be spec’d as well. The front and rear cabs are roomy and luxurious enough to handle a night out on the town with clients. The ride is exceptionally smooth thanks to the beefed-up suspension. Steering is precise and the truck doesn’t wander at all going down the road. Despite its weight (around 6,500 pounds) the big V-8 will definitely snap your head back if you put your foot down at a traffic light. There’s plenty of high-end power for highway acceleration and passing as well. All told, he VortecMax is a well-heeled work truck with enough pizzazz and power to hold its own on weekdays and weekends.
