Considering that GMC’s Denali line has been known for truck luxury since 1999, now General Motors announced it was expanding its Denali line to include heavy-duty GMC pickups.
The new Denali version: Add chrome, offer Denali-unique wheels and tires, and Denali-specific interior cues, and, in some cases, make a larger-displacement, higher-horsepower engine standard. Look at the Yukon and Yukon XL Denali. In addition to the Denali styling upgrades, that trim level is the only one where you can get the 403-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8.
The Denali package is available on 3/4- and one-ton heavy-duty trucks, crew cab only, with either rear- or four-wheel drive. Denalis come with the standard (6.5-foot, 2500HD) or long (8.0-foot, 3500HD) bed.
2011 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD unlike the other vehicles offered with the Denali package, the Sierra HDs come with the same engine/transmission pairings; the 6.0-liter V-8 and 6L90 six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and the 397-horsepower, 765-pound-foot 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V-8 and Allison 1000 six-speed automatic are an $8395 option.
