2011 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 Review

. If you need a truck for those Sunday garage sale outings, to bring home that oversized wicker rocking chair, get yourself a GMC Canyon. Need to trailer a bass boat, or a pair of Jet Skis, or pick up some plywood at the local Home Depot, get a Sierra 1500. If you want a truck with some styling attitude that rides like a luxury car with luxury amenities, and yet can tow or haul some heavier items, get a Chevy Avalanche. But if you need to haul a load of gravel, or tow your 65-Ft. Cigarette Boat – or haul a load of fresh cut logs down to the sawmill, you get yourself the GMC Sierra 2500 4WD Crew Cab. This is an HD truck, and the HD stands for Heavy Duty, not High Definition. This is a work truck, and it is built to work hard. 

BIG TRUCK, BIG NUMBERS

It’s about the numbers. The 6.6-liter, V8 turbo diesel engine boasts 397 horsepower at 3000 rpm, and an eye-popping, mother-lovin’, stump pulling, 765 lb-ft of torque at only 1600 rpm! And if you want bragging rights at the drag strip, you can reach 60 mph from a dead stop in just over 7 seconds and cross the ¼ mile in just over 15 seconds. All that power is put to the pavement via an Allison 6-speed Automatic Transmission that keeps the engine pulling in it’s power band, yet somehow manages to shift smoothly all the way up through the gears. A manumatic feature is standard with a small toggle switch on the gear shift lever for up and downshifts.

EPA Fuel Economy Estimates are not required on the window sticker of trucks of this weight, but we managed 12-mpg around town and 17-mpg on the highway doing mostly 75 to 80 miles per hour. So with a 36 gallon fuel tank, you’ll have a range of over 600 miles. Of course with diesel fuel currently selling for $4.20 a gallon, you’ll also get chest pains from the cost if you need to fill the tank all at once.

The next set of working numbers includes the maximum payload capabilities, and those numbers are also impressive. You can haul 3,200 lbs in the truck bed, (which is 78.8-inches long x 62.5-inches wide) and pull 13,000 pounds with a conventional trailer. If you use the truck as a fifth wheel, you can tow up to 17,000 pounds.

NEW FEATURES MAKE TOWING EASIER

To help you keep that trailer going straight down the road, there’s Trailer Sway Control and an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, which work in conjunction with the StabiliTrak to identify if your trailer is swaying, and then uses the engine, brakes and even the trailer’s brakes to keep the trailer under control. Also standard is the Hill Start Assist which holds the brakes for 1.5 seconds, to give you time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, without any backward movement of the vehicle if you’re starting out on an uphill incline. Automatic Grade Braking helps slow the Denali on downhill grades by using the engine and transmission to your advantage, giving the driver increased confidence and reducing brake wear.
