Yes, your 2007 GMC Sierra New Body has a factory 7-way trailer connector so it has the connection needed to install the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002.

I've linked a video of the Smart Hitch being installed on a 2007 Sierra as well as a picture from the video that shows the wiring connected inline with your truck's factory wiring.
