“The Sierra is delivering the tech customers want in the light-duty truck market, and the 2020 model demonstrates that Professional Grade means never slowing down,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC. “In just its first year on the market, the 2019 Sierra introduced the available, industry-first CarbonPro Bed and MultiPro tailgate. The truck’s 2020 updates show how the Sierra continues to raise the bar year in and year out.”
Among the 2020 Sierra 1500’s upgrades:
Available Enhanced ProGrade Trailering: originally introduced for the 2020 Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, GMC’s Enhanced ProGrade Trailering includes a segment-first transparent trailer view, with 15 available camera views to help keep an eye on your trailer at all times.
The Elevation Crew Cab: The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation set a new standard for what a luxury 4×4 could be, and with the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Crew Cab, you can bring along even more friends to share in the off-road fun.
First-ever 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel in a GMC half-ton: Owners of Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks have known for years about the rock solid reliability and power of GM’s Duramax turbo-diesel engines. Now the 2020 GMC Sierra is getting in on the action, with the available, all-new 3.0-liter Duramax inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel, producing 277 horsepower and a whopping 460 lb.-ft. of tow-friendly torque, with peak torque in the extreme low end of the power range, where you need it most when towing.
All-new 10-Speed Automatic: New for 2020, GMC is now offering the cutting-edge 10-speed automatic transmission in GMC Sierra 1500 models equipped with the 5.3-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management. The transmission, which will be standard on the Sierra 1500 Denali and Sierra 1500 AT4, and available in all Sierra 1500 4x4s at the SLE trim level and above, has more gears, helping you find the power and torque “sweet spot” for any task, while simultaneously giving the 2020 Sierra 1500 outstanding performance and shift quality.
