2020 GMC Sierra HD Features X-Ray Trailer Vision

By Leave a Comment

Later this year, we will finally get the chance to own a 2020 GMC Sierra HD for ourselves. It sits in the heavy-duty truck class, but it offers something that the other companies don’t have quite yet. In fact, while towing, it might seem that everything behind you merely disappears.

Both the 2500 and the 3500 will offer a 360-degree camera system. These give the impression that you can see right through your trailer for additional safety on the road. It works in conjunction with a wired camera mounted on the back of your trailer. This sends a feed to your dashboard display and gets stitched with the tailgate view to give you a clear outline of what’s behind you.

There are actually fifteen possible views that this system offers. There’s even an option to put one camera inside your trailer so you can keep an eye on any animals and cargo during your travels.

Other GM Sierra HD Specs

These new trucks from GM feature stronger, bigger frames than ever before. We don’t know everything related to the gas engine yet, but there will be an optional 6.6-liter Duramax diesel option. This produces 445 horsepower plus 910 pound-feet of torque.

The tow rating is going to be larger than the current Sierra HD’s 30,000-pound capability, but we don’t have exact figures on that yet. This is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission.

There are also several trims to choose from. You have the work trims, the luxury Denali plus the AT4 we told you about last year. Just like with the Sierra 1500, the AT4 features an off-road suspension, specially-tuned traction management system, locking rear differential plus some special styling touches.

Another notable option will be the MultiPro Tailgate. Open this tailgate six varying ways for a multitude of access and cargo carrying needs.

GMC Sierra AT4 Now Available With Performance Package

GMC has always produced a capable pickup and we knew something exciting was about to happen; we just didn’t know what. Now we have the inside scoop! The GMC Sierra AT4 is now available with a performance package.

What is the GMC Sierra AT4 Performance Package?

If you want to get the idea of what we are looking at with the GMC Sierra AT4, peek at the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trailboss. These two trucks have a lot of the same features. You get the two-inch trail-tuned suspension lift, Rancho shocks plus 33-inch Goodyear Duratracks. While these basic features are the same, the AT4 has a lot more to offer.

Let’s start by looking at what’s happening in the rear. You have the option of a five or eight-food bed; each with 62.9 or 89.1 cubic-foot capacity. There’s also a 110V outlet plus a folding step which comes out of the tailgate.

Even though that all sounds incredibly thrilling, there’s something even more amazing. There’s a carbon-fiber composite bed. That’s right! This top of the line bed is going to be available for the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4.

More Details

Of course, this fun package won’t be in dealerships until later in 2019, but that hasn’t stopped GM from showing it off. The new carbon-fiber bed panels increase the durability, reduce weight plus offer a unique look.

Aside from that, GM also updated the exterior to offer a performance appearance. It has red tow hooks plus grille inserts. There’s a multi-color head-up display combined with a rear-camera mirror; ideal for any luxury truck buyer. In fact, if you aren’t towing, you might just forget you are in a truck.

We aren’t sure what the fuel economy will be yet. If we look at the 2019 Trailboss, we might get an idea since this pickup is rated at 15/20 mpg. We imagine that the Sierra 1500 GT4 might do better than that considering it has a composite bed construction included.

We will be sure to give you more information as we receive it. Don’t forget that the Chevrolet Silverado 6.2-liter OHV V8 with DFM was just named to the 2019 Wards Best Engines list.
