Nowhere is that more evident than the available industry-first GMC MultiProTM Tailgate, which makes its debut on the Next Generation Sierra. Standard on Sierra Denali and SLT, the MultiPro Tailgate is the most innovative pickup tailgate ever with six unique functions and positions, offering enhanced second-tier loading and load-stop solutions, and easier access to items in the box.



The MultiPro Tailgate also incorporates a step entry and egress mode that, when paired with the assist handle, offers both step and seated functionality. Ease-of-use is enhanced with two buttons on the tailgate handle, allowing convenient minor gate release.

BUILDING A BETTER PICKUP BOX

The 2019 Sierra Denali offers best-in-class cargo volume - 62.9 cubic feet on short-box models and 89.1 cubic feet on standard box models. Sierra’s available 5-foot, 8-inch pickup box actually offers more cargo volume than Ford or Ram’s 6.5-foot-long standard boxes. An available 120-volt power outlet further adds to Sierra’s versatility, as do cargo tie-down anchors that are designed to be stronger than those in the previous Sierra.

The 2019 Sierra Denali will offer, later in the model year, an available GMC exclusive, industry-first carbon fiber box – the CarbonPro – developed to increase durability, efficiency and functionality of the truck. It replaces the standard steel inner panels and floor with a lightweight, purpose-designed composite material that offers best-in-class dent, scratch and corrosion resistance.



PROVEN POWERTRAIN PORTFOLIO

The 2019 Sierra Denali will offer updated versions of the proven, potent 6.2-liter and 5.3-liter V-8 engines.

In order to provide the perfect blend of efficiency and power, Sierra’s updated 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 engines feature both stop/start technology, which briefly stops the engine while stopped in traffic in order to conserve fuel consumption, and a new Dynamic Fuel Management system†. This new feature builds upon the Active Fuel Management system found in prior Sierras and allows an engine to run on any number of cylinders in order to provide the power or efficiency demanded by the driver.



Sierra’s 6.2-liter V-8 is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while the 5.3-liter V-8 is matched with an eight-speed automatic.
