Is the new 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali the 3/4 ton truck LEADER?
The ALL NEW GMC Sierra 2500HD is finally here. Under the hood is a 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine producing 910 lb-ft of torque, and mated to an Allison 10-speed automatic gearbox. With the Denali trim the exterior and interior is brought to a higher level of fit, finish and feel. Did GMC do enough to make the Sierra 2500HD the industry leader?

Miso Honey that really means a lot!
Love my 2020 2500hd Denali. The rearview mirror also turns to video mode out the back. There is also an optional safe in the console. Another plus is the def fill is next to the fuel filler. Also the phone charger in the console.
What you don’t realize is GM buyers love the dash layout (simplicity, ease of use, etc). Reviewers are the only people that want them to change it.
Nice to see you doing truck reviews glad you like the truck. I am one of hundreds of employees at flint assembly where we build these!!👍🏼

Gus. The day GM hands you one of those giant infotainment screens put it in the dumpster. I like the traditional knobs and buttons. I can tolerate a small screen but what was put into the Ram is disgusting childish overkill. This interior is perfect as it is.

Greek what’s your unbiased opinion about the 3.L duramax ??
I've owned 5 different half ton trucks. Got this same truck but in silver back in January. My first Diesel. I cant even explain how awesome it is. The power is unreal, it seems like it never ends. The interior could be a little nicer for the price, but I like the way its laid out and the materials are durable which is the most important to me. I just paid it off last week, it hurt a little but you know what they say, "Buy Once Cry Once"!
The GMC is beautiful ...

Lmao, did you have a F150 and therefore have the name "F-150 KING OF TRUCKS" but then sell it for a Ram and change your name to "RAM-1500 KING OF TRUCKS"? What happened to "till I fell in love with the F-series trucks"?? I see love doesn't mean much to you! Lol. Seriously though, how does anyone pick a Ram over either GMC or Ford??
With the half tons there is no question ram has the best truck on the market, but when it comes to 3/4 and 1 tons, GM and ford throw a pretty good fight with their respective trucks. GM offers the best towing tech and the fanciest tailgate, ram offers the best non towing tech and interior quality, and ford offers simplicity and convenience. All of them are big ass heavy trucks, all of them have roughly the same payload and towing numbers, all come with big V8 engines (except the cummins but its still a 6.7). One thing that GMC needs to do desperately is get the production of the carbon pro beds up to speed and offer 8 foot carbon pro beds in the HD lineup, as THAT would be a HUGE selling point if your bed was rust and puncture proof on a truck actually meant for work I personally would take a sierra if I was in the market for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck, although ford would be a close second. If I was going for a half ton depending on how much I tow/haul, it would either be a ram 1500 for less or a sierra 1500 for more.

Don’t buy the new 2020 gmc or Chevy diesel if you snow Plow. I bought a 3500 denali with snow Plow prep. The first time plowing I get a check engine light apparently the slow Plow blocks so air flow sensor and turns on the light which puts it in a limp mode which enables possibly the lower but also the remote starter. So now I have a diesel in winter I can’t remote start. Also I had to take off the tailgate to put in a salter. GM doesn’t have any plugs like the used to to block off the power tailgate wires and the back up camera wires. So I had to tape them so they don’t corrode with the salt here. The big kicker is because I unplugged these which is common on a Plow truck the entire camera system now doesn’t work. These are 2 things I bought the Denali for. Gm can’t and won’t fix either issue and I have a fleet of trucks from Gm. Looks like I’ll have to go to ford. Also the 2020 Allison transmission isn’t an Allison. False advertising

The 6.6-liter Duramax is produced by DMAX, a joint venture between GM and Isuzu in Moraine, Ohio. The only Ford in the 2020 GM trucks is the (GM & Ford collaboration) 10 speed transmission in the 1/2 ton trucks. Also the 10 speed in the HD are GM made with a "Allison" branding. Are y'all planning on a video for the GMC Denali HD headlights? Since y'all overloaded on how good they are and on how much light it produces.

Ford Superduty interior is not as luxurious but is somehow nicer. No idea why that is, but I feel like it is. I think there are too many rounded areas of the GMC and Ford is more angular and futuristic. Still, I am buying a new 2021 F350 or Sierra 2500 and I cannot decide. Decisions...decisions....
Went and test drove the 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 and "looked" at a 2020 GMC Sierra Denali HD. The AT4 rode jittery (yet powerful), the seats are terrible, interior plain Jane. The Denali HD...better overall, but as with the AT4, plain Jane interior and same crappy thin seats. IMHO, the exteriors and functionality of both are very good...but, the interior designers should have their heads examined. For the prices...prob great for some (they are capable) but, the interiors are a C- grade. Those chrome HVAC knobs? WTF? What a shame...
Let’s be real Joe. You should’ve zonked that entire truck. I’ve never seen such a sad top of the line truck. Basic sunroof, way too much chrome, no interior updates except for the back seat storage (pretty cool) and a ton of dull black plastic. $76k....good luck to GM with that!!
