2016 GMC Sierra 2500 Review

NiceCarsInfo Team July 13, 2015

GMC Sierra is a full-size pickup truck, which was first launched in 1998. Alongside with Chevrolet Silverado it represents the best offer of GM’s trucks. These two models have pretty much the same characteristics, except the visual appearance.

Exterior

More than a half of the 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 bodywork is made from high-strength steels. This material is also used in the fully-boxed frame rails and major frame cross-members.

The new 2016 GMC Sierra will come with some fresh details, mostly focused on the front end. The new model will probably get reworked front fascia, with brand new headlights and grille.

In order to increase room in hood and cooling, the 2016 Sierra 2500 will get an emerging hood-styling and slightly heavier breeze intakes.

The 2016 GMC Sierra interior will also undergo some changes. The cabin will come with even more accentuated chrome details than before. The engineers have been using much higher quality materials and textures in the four available trim packages.

It will get new, restyled center console, designed so as to maximize the storage. Also five USB jacks, a small 300 watt inverter for the devices of 120 volt plug-in and some additional storage and cup holders.

The vehicle will have knobs with the solid gripping and the driver information center which is set between the speedometer and the tachometer.

Engine specs and performance

As for the powertrain of the new GMC Sierra 2500 2016, it is expected to use a powerful Duramax turbocharged diesel engine. The Duramax diesel engine has a strong reputation and a proven track record with nearly 1.4 million sold since 2000. This particular engine is said to produce 450 horsepower and 855 pound-feet of torque. It would be coupled to the 6-speed 6L80 automatic transmission. The Duramax is one of the best and key features which would increase the sale of this vehicle in the market.

Another powertrain option, according to some rumors, is an excellent and up-to-date 6.6-liter LML turbocharged diesel V8 with an output of 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque, which is under the hood of the current edition. Paired with the sophisticated Allison 1000 series transmission with overdrive, this powertrain also offers a maximum highway range of up to 680 miles on a single fill-up.
