Are you ready to harness next-gen EV power? Stay tuned for the reveal of the GMC Sierra EV Denali on October 20, 2022, at 5 p.m.
Having been on sale since 2007, the current range of GM trucks is, to put it gently, old as hell. This is thrown into particularly stark contrast after driving the revised Ram 1500 or any of the trucks from Ford. Unfortunately, for GM, that’s exactly what we did barely a week before receiving our Sierra Denali. Even the areas where the Denali excels (interior trim, engines), it doesn’t distance itself enough from the competition to earn our recommendation.
While we have already previewed GMC’s Sierra All Terrain HD Concept, seeing it in the flesh is a different deal entirely. This thing is big, and the two-foot tall stand that GMC mounted it on certainly made it look even bigger.
On the surface, the Sierra is a pretty decent truck. The Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V-8 offers gobs of torque, while the six-speed Allison transmission smartly handles the shifting duties. While we really liked the 6.0-liter V-8 that we had in our Silverado HD, this is the motor to have.
