I am seriously looking at importing a Sierra from the States but I don't know much about the whole process. Is there anyone out there that can chime in with some wise words, on everything?
22% duty +£1200 ish for shipping plus 20% Vat then SVA ,if under 10years old just MOT and RFLif you want Diesel it will be star ship mileage or very expensive !!! , you need to find something close to a port too as getting things moved over there isn't cheep. If you use someone like Kingstown they will take care of the paper work and its a simple job if you can get the vehicle to the port they will do the rest..
From what I understand, the US market for these isn't majorly interested in heavy off roading (but there is plenty of specialist kit you can buy that will make it effective off-road if you want). If you want to go offroading in the US, Jeep is the main player. GMC/Chevy/Fx50s etc are all more geared towards towing, or utility/construction/farm type use.

Unless I needed every single last iota of torque I'd much prefer a 6.6L turbo petrol V8. Closest 6(ish) litre I can think of in petrol terms is the old S600 engine. Might cost more to run but much nicer to be around and worth the hit unless you do phenomenal mileage IMO.
600 odd horsepower and 737lb/ft wasn't it?

best if you take a look at the current rams I'm a ex F250 owner now !!!!
Rams after around 2013 are much nicer. I think the Silverado/Sierra is the best looking but they need to make it in aluminum like the f150.I drove a ram 1500 bighorn recently, it was well put together but the f150 lariat drives a lot nicer.
