10 THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT THE ALL-NEW 2020 GMC SIERRA HEAVY DUTY | MCLARTY DANIEL BUICK GMC

A few months back, GMC released the first details about the 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty, the next-generation heavy duty truck from the company that helped invent the idea of Heavy Duty trucks in the first place. Available in 3/4-ton 2500HD and 1-ton dual-rear-wheel and single-rear-wheel 3500HD, the 2020 GMC Sierra won’t be available at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC until late summer, but we’re already stoked about some of the great details the Professional Grade brand has baked into their next-gen Sierra to make it the most versatile, powerful and capable heavy duty truck they’ve ever built.

Read on for ten things we love about the all-new 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty…

910 HORSEPOWER!: When it comes to towing and hauling, GM’s Duramax Turbodiesel has become synonymous with strength, reliability and capability. The big 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8 available in the all-new 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty represents the next level of Duramax development, delivering 445 horsepower and a whopping 910 horsepower. That’s grunt when you need it most, and if you need it, you will appreciate it.

THE ALL-NEW ALLISON 10-SPEED: Out in the real world, towing means finding that sweet torque and horsepower sweet spot you need to tackle hills, steep grades, and standing starts. Getting your 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty there is easier than ever thanks to the all-new Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, with closer gear ratios than ever before for smoother transitions and more efficiency, even under the heaviest loads.

THE ALL-NEW 6.6-LITER GAS V8: Prefer the instant power of a big gasoline engine? The 2020 GMC Sierra has you covered there too, with the all-new 6.6-liter gasoline V8. Backed by the bombproof 6L90 Heavy Duty transmission, the 6.6-liter V8 delivers 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft of tow-hungry torque — a 22 percent increase in peak torque over the previous gas-powered Sierra HD!

LARGER, STRONGER REAR AXLES: A heavy duty truck is only as strong as its components, and the engineers and designers behind the 2020 GMC Sierra HD turned to advanced materials science and construction techniques to make the components of the 2020 GMC Sierra HD stronger than ever! Case in point: larger, more robust axles front and rear, with a standard 11.5-inch differential ring gear on 2500HD models, and a massive 12-inch ring gear on 3500HD diesel models.

BEST-IN-CLASS GOOSENECK TRAILERING: When it comes to gooseneck trailering, there are some great heavy duty trucks out there. But like we say all the time, GMC is just a liiiiittle bit better. How good is it? Try Best-In-Class Gooseneck trailering of up to 35,500 pounds, a whopping 52 percent increase over the maximum capacity of the 2019 GMC Sierra HD!

THE PRO-GRADE TRAILERING SYSTEM: When you’re trying to get the load secured, hitched up and on down the road, things can be a whirlwind of activity and important things can start falling through the cracks. That’s where GMC’s ProGrade Trailering System comes in. Accessable through the GMC ProGrade Trailering app on your phone, the system give you pre-towing checklists, a remote-controlled trailer light test, customizable trailer profiles, instant tire pressure tests, and more.

MORE COMFORT THAN EVER: Just because you need a heavy duty truck doesn’t mean you deserve a truck that rides like a log wagon. The 2020 GMC Sierra HD finds the happy medium between ultimate capability and ultimate comfort with features like an optimized body structure, isolated cab mounts, wider tires, improved shocks and other features, to fight fatigue behind the wheel and help you work harder AND smarter.

UNMISTAKABLE GMC DESIGN: I mean, just look at this thing! The 2020 GMC Sierra HD is one beautiful truck, with the striking lines, bold materials choices, and refined chrome that has become an unmistakable hallmark of the brand. Want even MORE great GMC style? Take refinement to the next level with the 2020 GMC Sierra HD Denali, with luxury-car like interior amenities and stylish exterior badging, a Denali-exclusive grille of sculptural mesh, and more.

THE FIRST EVER GMC SIERRA AT4 HEAVY DUTY: GMC has upped the ante on off-road style in recent years with the 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 4×4 package. Now the 2020 GMC Sierra HD is getting in on the game with the all-new 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 Heavy Duty! In addition to unstoppable GMC 4×4 running gear, the exclusive model features body-color bumpers and grille surround, a unique grille pattern in black chrome, 18 or 20-inch machined-face alloy wheels with high-gloss black accents, all-terrain tires, distinctive red frame-mounted recovery hooks and more.

BEST-IN-CLASS CARGO VOLUME: All-new for 2020, the standard bed of the 2020 Sierra HD is 6.7-inches wider and 5.4-inches longer the bed of the previous model, while simultaneously offering lower bed sides for easier access to cargo. Add the exclusive MultiPro Six-Way Tailgate, segment-exclusive bed side steps just ahead of the rear wheel arches, and enlarged cornerstep bumpers, and you’ve got the hardest working bed ever installed on a 2020 Sierra HD truck.
