The 2016 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD is arriving just in time to deal with the rising competition. The updated engine selection, coupled with the transmission and the exterior that has been redesigned for maximum aerodynamics ensure that performance is better than ever. The interior is brimming with technology and gadgets, while the exterior makes short work out of any wind noise or resistance. The driving experience is more comfortable and soothing than ever, and the Denali selection should be as plentiful as ever. Aside from 3500 HD, there is the 2500 HD and Denali HD version, which have more than 150 different configurations between them, if combined with a myriad of packages and equipment. This will enable buyers to tailor their Sierra Denali’s to their own needs and tastes.
Sierra Denali 3500HD GMC Exterior
The 2016 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD comes with a serious facelift. A new grille and a redesigned headlamps are just the beginning, as the overall body has been made more aerodynamic than ever. The new grille is about more than just a cool look; it enables better cooling system for the engine as well as help reduce noise when paired up with the new doors. The new roof and spoiler make a mockery of wind resistance, enabling maximum downward thrust on the rear wheels. The Double Cab is making a comeback from the previous version, with longer rear doors. By reinforcing the cab area with high-strength steel, the designers have made the new Sierra Denali safer than ever, as any shock form the impact will be absorbed before it reaches the occupants of the vehicle – hopefully. This extends to A- and B-pillars, roof and several other strategically placed locations in the interior. Otherwise, the new Denali will be distinguishable by the chrome grille, peculiar interior, a distinguished exhaust and rear bumpers.
