The #GMCSierra has always been the 3rd best-selling truck in America right behind the Chevy Silverado and Ford F-150. For 2020, GMC is giving the #SierraHD a complete redo on the outside, a new frame underneath, and some pretty advance industry first features for truck buyers who plan to do a lot of towing. The light duty #Sierra also benefits from a 5th engine option, a 3.0L #Duramax #diesel inline 6-cylinder engine that offers up the most HP in the class at 277 and a stump pulling 460 lb-ft of torque. It all makes for the most capable Sierra that #GMC has ever made with the ability to tow up to 35,500 pounds on certain HD trucks.
My dad has been driving around in a 3.0 1500 and it's a very nice truck. The engine is very smooth and transmission tuning is dialed in well.
After watching so many redline videos I feel like I know Soyfan so well. He’s my friend and confidant and when I’m feeling down we hang out together and he teaches me so much about this here car industry. Thanks for being there for me Redline Reviews we all deserve to be less lonely.
Jeez, GM is the king of dirt cheap looking interiors
J S It looks the same as ford...
@@zmc6774 Pandering to the south of the boarder demographics tbh.
ZMC Ford does a good job with the King Ranch interiors, GM is just black plastic even on upper trims
Have you been in a Tundra lately?
@@sixsixST2 What's wrong with the tundras interior lol
That back floor doesn't look truly flat. Overall, this review is spot on.
personally, i like a simple interior and leg room. Less things to rattle and fall apart.
InstaBlaster...
After driving all the new full size trucks I decided on a new Sierra 1/2 ton. It does lack some of the "wow" you get inside the Ram truck, but it more than makes up for it in every performance measure. I even rented a Ram, F150, and Sierra before deciding so I could get a really good feel for each. After 5 months I'm still extremely happy with my GMC!
Stunning Exterior
Disappointing Interior
Jackson not really into trucks what would make the interior up to your standards?
ChuChuTrain like the RAM interior
Brian Speckert holy i just went to the Ram video omg that interior is like REDICULOUS
What are you talking about? You didn’t see the plastic wood panel on the door?!
This truck has real aluminum accents and real wood unlike ram and Ford using plastic for both.
I’m so torn. I want a Denali 2500 so badly because they are beautiful. The exterior is stunning. They just lack so much in the interior. But I feel like the exterior almost makes up for it
A super solid truck. The interior has real aluminum and and real wood. This interior is the regular version in a year there will be 2 options and an upgrade interior.
I agree with about everything he said except having softer leather. You want tougher leather in something that is supposed to be more of a work truck so it's more likely to last.
I'm glad I've waited to buy a 19 Silverado. I'm going for the GMC. Thanks Sof.
You said you wish they would have differentiated the GMC more and they kinda did they charge more money for the same truck as the chevy
Chico101 it’s definitely not the same. This is the first time I would say that gmc really looks MUCH better. It’s not even close. (Owner of a 19 2500 HC)
Chico101 lmao that’s America for you! Lmao we buy anything that cost more thinking it’s better lol
Chico101 GMC has always offered a little bit more. In 2017 the SLE, which is one step up from base, offered heated seats which were only available in top trim Silverados. It also had other niceties like a leather wrapped heated steering wheel and other goodies like better audio and better infotainment... the mid grade Silverado doesn’t have all those things, and the SLE isn’t even mid grade for the Sierra
Can any of these 4 stroke POS survive in multiple positions at full revs on tcw3, let the experiments begin, the duramax is a well oil injected poppet valved 2 stroke with loop scavenging, lets see how it does on tcw3 semisythetic with oil injection. ii'm fore 4 valve loop scavenged total loss burn of oil injection, it should work. Duramax is nothing but a poppet valved loop charged 2 stroke diesel to me, lets see how this works with dry sump and total loss oil injection, what a fun engine to torture. SAE 40w cf-2 stroke oil not good enough, lets try Klotz synthtectic 2 stroke oil first. it will work as the duramaxx is nothing but a poppet valved loop scavenged 2 stroke to me! let the 2 stroke experiments begin.Total loss oil feed burn-off, lets see it work on this poppet valved loop scavenged 4 valve 2 stroke, hehe.
Interiors do not seem to be General Motor's strong suite.
DSTY Cadillac lineup and Corvette C8 beg to differ.
Jack Hello care to elaborate? Be specific...
They're primarily work vehicles not luxury trucks. Do you want a napa leather load bed?
Justin Greenaway lol exactly
mybro727 they look horrible as well they need new designers
The truck performance and tech is respectable, but that interior is so 2000's. They really put all the money into the functional truck stuff rather than using some for updating their outdated interior. For 60k+ that interior is an insult, even Ford does a better job than that. Not saying it has to be exactly like Ram with a giant tablet because not everyone is into that but it needs to be more competitive and catch up with the times.
Performance is more important
because a fancy interior is so useful when you're broke down on the side of the road with transmission problems in your dodge...
Lmao I have 2015 Silverado use it to pull my boat. I could give two shits if it has a 30inch touch screen TV or a panoramic roof. Trucks are trucks not luxury vehicles.
@@DiegoHeavyDuty Cope
I’m a 19 Ram owner and I must say yeah the interior is disappointing but gm did what people wanted in their truck especially rear air vents and rear heated seats, I driven one and the interior isn’t bad.
Devon Janzen even though your a ram buyer I respect your compliment
Saw u in the airport today, had a nerd moment, hope your day wasn't ruined by the crappy miami airport experience 😭😂
v8 makes the most sense for those of us that only tow 3-4 times a year. lower fuel cost, lower maintanence cost.
Best looking and one of the best performing trucks out there
Big fan of your channel, I watch your channel from 10 years ago, long time no see
I love the AT4 in that exact spec it just looks mean and really sharp.
The reason the 6.2 is not used in the HD because of durability. HD owners puts a lot of wear and tear on their trucks so a bigger liter gas engine is needed to put less stress on the engine.
It's more than that. The 6.2L is higher compression and uses an aluminum block. The 6.6L is slightly lower compression, uses an iron block, and it has a larger stroke for more low and mid-range power, something important in a truck.
The sexiest truck out there , literally!!!
No. My personal preference the 2014 GMC. You could actually reach into the bed and grab things.
This behemoth truck bed is up to my neck.
All of the princesses that flocked here just to b**** and complain that the GM’s interiors aren’t pretty enough for them are behaving like dramatic little girls.
We live in a world where leather padded armrests, authentic wood trim, 8-inch high resolution touchscreen infotainment system with lightning fast processor speeds, HUD, rear view camera mirror technology, a slew of other camera technology that’s best in the segment, premium stitched heated and ventilated perforated leather front seats, rear heated seats with contrast stitching, and real metal trim is considered a “dirt cheap” interior on a Heavy Duty pickup truck. LMDAO.
RAM has really made these guys soft. Anyway, great review Soyfan, this truck is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. I can’t wait to see what GM does with the redesign for 2021. It’s true, real trucks do look better when they’re a little dirty.😝
Darkivaz - AAA oh shut up you bothered troll. You’re just mad I roasted your ass now you’re trolling more GM reviews. 😂😂😂
Yep. The only company that has a "more luxurious" interior is ram, and that's because they went for visual luxury over functional luxury. Ford, nissan and toyota all have the same level of interior in their top trim trucks, but only gm gets hated on for it
James Mastroianni That’s what I’m saying, it’s crazy and doesn’t make any sense. I guess the RAM guys are upset because the GM twins continue to outsell it even with a less luxurious interior. They’re really gonna be upset after the 2021 models are released with the new interior.
@@mybro727 ram actually is now outselling chevy. Chevy+gmc still outsell ram but ram is really doing a number on chevys sales. It's not just people in TH-cam comments, real world sales are also reflecting the hate for the new trucks
James Mastroianni that’s what I mean Chevy + GMC = GM half ton pickup continues to outsell RAM. They both have the same interior which people claim is the absolute worst interior they’ve ever laid eyes on in a pickup truck yet it outsells the RAM. I think that’s why GM gets so much hate for their interior, people are upset at the fact their trucks are so damn good in every other category that despite the less luxurious interior they _still_ outsell the RAM.
Careful don’t wanna scratch the wax off the frame.
i have the gas version 2500
to help people out I average 11.5 city 16hwy
when towing 7400lbs travel trailer 7.2city hwy and and 9.8hwy
I'm thingking of getting the 6.6L gas engine with the 6 seating config
But can a GM product stay away from a repair shop before 50k miles other than for basic maintenance?
A brand new GM? No. A 1993 Toyora Camry? Definitely.
My 2018 GMC Terrain is approaching 40km and I’ve only ever had it into the dealer for oil changes, rotations. I recently had it in to the dealer to diagnose the driver seat moving under my weight. They said the frame was loose and replaced the entire seat frame.
Also my third GM vehicle. Before the Terrain I had a Verano and a Cruze. Both those were super low maintenance, gas, oil, drive.
I had 165K on my Tahoe before trading it in for a truck. I abused that truck and never changed fluids except the oil. Never had a problem.
Boomer Bomb
I mean my 2014 has 112k miles
And has never had one issue so...
Yea easily
GM makes great trucks I think people confuse the sedans with GMs full sized vehicles which is a different ball game
I have a GMC 2010 1500 with over 236k miles. Just regular maintenance is all I have ever done .
Same sized screen on infotainment since 2009
Ya but they finally put air vents in the rear.
The V8 gas engines out sell the diesels at about 3 to 1 due in part to fleet sales because of the far lower MSRP and much lower maintenance costs over the diesel. Thus the reason Ford and GM both came out with new commercial grade V8 has engines for 2020 which will undoubtedly make the sales gap between diesel and gas even broader than before.
Great review. I do believe the bed is 6’9”. It got bigger as well
I too have a 6 inch infotainment at Zafira 2014 in Europe, but the new Opel models have a new 8 inch, which is much better! :P
You practically need a booster seat to see over the dashboard
Yes you do little man-
I just watched the same review on TFL Trucks. At least you got a clean truck. Roman's was filthy.
Good truck.... incredibly down-market interior ..... The midrange Ram Laramie (with two trim levels above it) is nicer than the toprange Sierra Denali interior..... the Ram Limited?? blows it away
Well...
Looking forward for your test and first impressions on the RIVIAN truck 💪
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Definitely Ram it's the way to go!
RAM has the most luxurious interiors of any truck.
Chevy/gmc have the best exterior in my opinion, but man... their interior is just super outdated looking!
But yet I’d take gmc over ford competitor but ram over both
Mr. C.G.O idk. All companies have hit or miss trucks. But I prefer rams interior with gmc exterior
Say what you will about the interior, could it be more plush with more soft touch materials? Sure. With that said, GMC/Chevy interiors are extremely easy to navigate and ergonomic as far as I'm concerned. Everything is within reach and where you expect it to be. Ford and Tundras are no different - lots of plastic.
I prefer the infotainment on GM vehicles over Sync on Fords. Ram have the nicest interiors these days; though I might be part of the small minority who doesn't like the giant touchscreen. I rather have analogue buttons to control HVAC, radio, etc.
I think both the Sierra AT4 HD and 1500 Duramax Diesel are best in class for looks and drivetrain package.
@@mikec3454
Same. After a TON of research I'm finding the bleeding edge of Ford a little to risky, while Ram snazzy interior and 12" screen is a little to bling for me.
GMC and to an extent Tundra seems to hit the sweet spot with analog controls and functional but plain interiors.
I'd rather turn a knob than hunt for menu's and then sub menu's to change settings.
Great example:
I'm glad some mfg are bringing back the rotary knob volume for radio instead of tap, tap, tap or slide up & down the volume on a digital screen.
I don't know why the interior gets so much hate. I actually really like the interior and the functionality. It's a truck, not a luxury sedan. It needs to look good, but also be functional as a truck. Really, no one had a problem until Ram redid their interiors.
Let's take a moment to appreciate just how high the hoods of these 'half' ton pickups have become....
I only hope truck manufacturers start adding a hood bumper step for vertically-challenged customers.
Awesome Reviews Of GMC Sierra HD & GMC Sierra 3.0L Duramax. 😀
27:12 - I had the same feeling when sitting in the Chevy HD Truck - the hood is massive, and the truck I was in didn't have height adjustable seats. I wanted to be sitting up a bit higher.
GMC bland and cheap interiors are sponsored by: Rubbermaid. Exterior looks great though.
I’ve always felt the same about GM products. Great exteriors, cheap interiors
Interior materials aren't any cheaper than what is in the F150. It's just the design that needs to change.
Toyota Tundra has crappy interior and people praise it for it's "simplicity." Give it a break, guys. It's a truck meant for work.
@@tacocruiser4238 Every video with a GM product these GM haters come to hate on it, lol. The C8 corvette, Cadillac XT4/CT4/CT5/Camaro, upcoming Tahoe/Escalade look very great and the new lineup will look amazing inside and out but they will still find a reason to hate.
I don't mind a cheap truck interior if the price reflects that.
As soon as I ever had my truck detailed or just washed I’d find some mud to get the wheel wells and rockers a little muddy or it just isn’t right. The rest of the truck and even most of it lower than the belt line would still be shiny but the areas near the mud flaps muddy. A pickup without some mud around the wheels has no story like its never been anywhere.
GM put all their money on the c8 and it really shows. Same scenario with every new vehicle that's been released this year that's not the Corvette
⚫Great exterior 👍
⚫Dull/Lackluster interior 😴👎
I have high hopes for the next full size twins though , one segment where GM excells.
You nailed it, interiors are their weakness
I work out of a 2017 3500HD, and that interior looks a little better than this one. It's like GM went backwards on interior design
Shit the early 2000s interiors are better than this. They actually feel like a truck
@@tefrumpzax I think they should take the interior of the 2005 Escalade and modified the dash and your good to go, or modife the 2006 GMC topkick interior and you are also good to go
For 80k? Nah!
They need to look at how dodge does their interiors with the ram and take notes
The only thing ram interiors have over Chevy and ford is that big 12 inch screen
I'd still spring for the Ford 7.3 as it has port injection. DFI just means carbon buildup and if you've been following up on those Ecotec V8 motors you'll know they carbon up so badly the heads need to be removed and cleaned. Ford also has a dual injection system in their other V8 motors. I don't care about 1 MPG better. I care about reliability and longevity. It needs to start and run the same with 300k on it with regular maintenance of course.
No amount of JD Power BS awards would get me to buy a GM vehicle.
That’s sad, you’re so blind
Cool Kid GM hasn’t made a good reliable vehicle in decades. GM trucks are a shell of what they were back in the day and their cars are garbage. There is a reason Ford trucks outsell GM despite their higher price tag. There is a reason why Toyota vehicles hold their value far better than GM vehicles. JD Power awards given from GM to GM doesn’t fool me.
Im not that much into trucks but i would take one any day over suvs...
What is the difference other than the badges please explain in detail
I realize it's essentially a sponsored media drive but I'd be curious to see a control car usee on the same track. Like maybe another pick-up or heck even a Honda Civic. Cuz I don't feel like driving up an organized pile of rocks gives any indication of thus vehicles off-road prowess.
short bed on HD is 6'10" not 6'6" as stated. 6'6" is the reg bed on 1/2ton trucks.
Great review
Only question I have is what is the difference between a big Tow Mirror and a small toe mirror?
I have always been confused as to why hd gas trucks have less hp than normal half tons
Lol the grill looks a lot better for that year but those mirrors are a BIG miss
I always loved US trucks, but what I don't get is why all HD models from all brands have those big "dressing table" like mirrors... they look weird and most of the time do not match the design of the truck itself and not everyone wants to tow with their HD trucks.
I know, I know... HD trucks are made for that, heavy duty, towing and all, but c'mon... the mirrors from the 1500 models are a lot more beautiful.
I prefer the interior. It will be the most durable.
The engine has a 150k life span. The engineers even said so. They mounted a timing chain in the rear. Add in DPF, DEF and all of the failures that come with those systems and this truck seems totally unappealing.
at 0:11 secs That truck never crossed that river !
I don’t see any cupholders under the HD hood!! 😁
Can you purchase trucks that are on obstacle courses. I’m sure they would be a lot cheaper since they’ve been used over and over again.
I would really like to know how to buy one of these and if it’s possible.
Wouldn't spend my money on it just cause the interior doesn't match the exterior
The interior really isn’t that bad. Its just a theme. There is actually just as much, if not more technology in the GM vehicles then the competition. Do the research.
lol @ all the kids complaining about interior...
If you're one of those people that actually want leather interiors with a bunch of bells & whistles, you probably never even get off the pavement and don't really need a pickup to begin with...
Exterior looks amazing disappointed with the interior not worth the price tag but I would rather get the new ram
**
Ram 6.4= 410hp
GM 6.6 gas= 401hp
GMC does NOT outsell Ram, and Ram is currently outselling Chevy, making it the #2 truck.
I have a logging skidder with 90hp... which do you think would win in a tug of war, a skidder or dodge?
the point being, HP doesn't mean shit when it comes to towing....
Gmc sierra or toyota tundra ??
I'm guessing it still uses Audio Systems supplied by BOSE?
At 13:56 "in America pickup trucks are extremely popular family vehicles.". This was true up to about 4-5 years ago when prices were reasonable. People who couldn't afford a Mercedes Benz would buy trucks instead. Now people buy the less expensive CLA, C, GLA, GLC Classes because they cost way less than a loaded pickup. Want to induce a heart attack on someone get them to look at the Monroney on a new AT4 or Denali 1500 or HD truck. Prices are eye watering expensive.
Nobody buys a C class in lieu of a truck for family hauling...
@@dchawk81Not for hauling but the "Wannabes" around here do for the ahem status.😂
@@lgetz1 The idea of a C class for status is hilarious.
They have big discounts on trucks. The real reason trucks make poor family vehicles is they are not maneuverable. You can’t park em, you can’t whip a quick u turn, you can’t go off-road unless it’s a desert, you can’t go fast around turns, poor range, horrible fuel economy, etc. etc. They are not as safe as people think they are. SUVs, especially unibody, and very large sedans have a lower death rate.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Literally none of those are important family vehicle attributes. Except parking, but you can if you're a halfway decent driver. Some of those things shouldn't even be done with a family. Or at all.
Very nice.
1:00 u look badass in standing in front of those two trucks😎
6.6 gas was made for fleet buyers not sure why they want offer 6.2 as an option
Canada and the US are literally, the only countries on Earth you can drive these beasts! The roads are too small elsewhere! This GMC seems nicer than the Chevy.
6.6 gas motor doesn’t require premium fuel whereas the 6.2 in the half tons do.
I would recommend watching the vid on "the duramax" engine.
I’d rather have a Jeep if I were going to buy a vehicle to use off-roading. Tbh, I don’t think it’s handsome at all and the interior is cheap.
Bill Bolduc i would too but the Jeep has absolutely no power
Offroading I want something durable and reliable. 4Runner.
Don't think this truck is for off roading. More for construction and heavy duty work. GMC doesn't seem to care about their interior tho I agree with that
There are no links in the description for his other reviews on the AT4 like stated at 5:00
Only GM can build a brand new car with an already outdated/cheap looking interior.
I wonder if it weren't for the people who do all the new vehicle reviews stating that all interiors are basic, dated, cheap, or otherwise inferior, to the new Ram interior, if all the keyboard warriors would waste their time complaining about how poor of an effort auto manufacturers put into their interiors. As most that offer their regurgitated opinions cannot afford any new truck in the 1st place. I myself would not complain about any interior of any new truck as I would gladly appreciate the ability to own one. Just how I see it.
Beautiful
GM... put the mirrors back where they belong. Please.
Ain't GM facing a lawsuit over their duramax engines
8:47 Can anyone confirm the Carbon fiber bed is an option in the HD Trucks?
Uploaded the same time as alex
Can you please teach @tfltruck how to use the multipro tailgate!!
Good Stoner Rock intro music!
Sofyan said you couldn't get the exhaust brake on a Ram. Yes you can. The HD Cummins offers it as standard.
Ben Driscoll We were referring to the Ram 1500 Ecodiesel :)
American Vehicles have never been known for their interiors. Most American disappoint me or are just decent. German’s are imo the best at interiors.
Bosch fuel pumps are and causing metal shavings to enter the injectors
Truck are expensive as my monthly house mortgage 🤦♂️
Buy them with cash then, no payments
When is GM going to get rid of that ridiculous looking column shifter in their trucks? It’s at least twice the size it needs to be.
Budget
i like the column shifter
Kent Wdym? Trucks should always have a column shifter. There’s nothing worse than trying to change gears with a little finicky knob.
Most trucks come with massive column shifters. Get over it and grow a pair.
"It’s at least twice the size it needs to be."
That's what she didn't say.
Ram is the one you want.
The one you want to avoid
Or dodge
Their never going to change that ugly interior looks the same back from 2014
Lavonte A They’re also still using the same oversized and floppy looking column shifter too.
For 2021:
gmauthority.com/blog/2019/08/updated-gm-truck-interiors-to-be-top-notch/
I say it every time... GM needs to rethink their interiors across their entire lineup (Chevy, GMC, Buick, Cadillac). They all look dated and cheap. You know it's bad when Toyota has better interiors.
@@jbarnes1108 What are you talking about? All manufacturers are just rolling out newly redesigned interiors which are big improvements over previous ones. GM is rolling them out on schedule. Look at the new Cadillac CT4/CT5, upcoming Tahoe/Escalade/XT4/Camaro/C8 corvette and rest of line up be all new by 2021. Have patience as they are rolling out some impressive stuff. But, a low 20's economic CUV or sedan is not going to get a 80K Mercedes interior.
@@yohazem1 the new interiors looks a generation or 2 behind themselves
Out of 391 current comments I'll bet 389 talk about the bad interior
Looks like they're borrowing lots of design elements from the F150
Was thinking the same. Gm always copying others. Smh.
The HD truck makes you look about 4 feet tall. These things are getting ridiculous. I can't imagine the carnage they'll do to people still driving regular cars in an accident.
