Expert Reply:
There are about 37 different configurations of the 2005 GMC Sierra 1500. To determine the capacity of your specific model you will need to check the truck owners manual.
I believe that 4200 kgs (9259 pounds) exceeds the max towing capacity of most if not all configurations but your owners manual will be able to tell you for sure.
