Posted in Trucking News on November 16, 2009
There are prototypes of the GMC Sierra 3500 that are seen test driven on the streets. The spy shots that were taken reveal its new three bar perforated grilles that shares it styling cues from its sibling 2010 GMC Terrain Midsize Crossover.
The recent images that have been floated on various websites reveal a brand new hood that features reverse-power-dome styling with prominent center mounted louvers. With a closer look at these sketches, we found Duramax 6.6 liter embossed on the louver side along with the logo for the Duramax’s six speed Allison transmission.
It is known that this Sierra edition along with General Motors famed Chevy Silverado will be equipped with all new chassis and a next generation 6.6 liter “LML” Duramax V8 clean diesel engine.
There are reports from the insiders that General Motors is working on a seven liter direct injection gas engine which would be immensely powered but would be priced lower than the Duramax Diesel engine vehicle.
It is known that the company has plans to launch the seven liter Di engine edition by 2013.
GM has been tightlipped about this new venture. We shall keep all readers posted on the latest news from the industry. Till then ….keep tuned.
