Now entering its third-generation, the GMC Sierra Denali is the technologically-advanced and most luxurious GMC half - ton pickup.

Sierra's 6.2L V-8 will even be available for 2014 Sierra SLT models. With this particular motor, the Sierra is likely to truly have a class-leading maximum trailering capacity of 12,000 lbs. Like every 2014 Sierra, it provides more power and higher expected performance than its predecessor because of a trio of technologies including active fuel management, direct-injection and variable-valve timing.

Style cues for the 2014 Sierra Denali follow this past year the method that attracted two - in - 10 GMC customers to Denali vehicles. The truck features a signature Denali chrome grille, unique 20 - unique interior decorative trim, inch chrome wheels, a polished stainless exhaust outlet and body - rear bumpers and color front, to the outside. Denali - specific inside details include script in the door sills and embossed to the genuine aluminum trim and seats.

GMC Sierra Denali's high-tech interior also features an unique eight-inch Customizable Driver Display that may present related configurations, audio and navigation data within the instrument panel.

"The 2014 Sierra Denali includes a mixture of efficiency, capacity and luxurious that no other pickup can match," said Tony DiSalle, vice-president of GMC Advertising. "It leaves no boxes unchecked for all those owners searching for the best expression of 'Professional Grade.'"

A 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8 is common for the 2014 Sierra Denali. It generates 355 horsepower while offering better EPA-estimated fuel-economy (23 mpg highway on 2WD models) than any V-8 or turbocharged V-6 pickup in the available on the marketplace.
