GMC Sierra Denali: A Pickup Truck for the Future

The 2024 GMC Sierra Denali is here, impressing Americans everywhere with all a luxury pickup truck can do. With high-end comfort, a slew of luxury features, unmatched style, and a modern suite of technology, the truck looks to do more than most pickups on the market.

GMC trucks have long carved out their place as the trucks with raw power, both under the hood and with their towing capabilities. The Denali is built to continue that legacy while offering all that comes with modern luxury vehicles. The 1500 Denali delivers on its promises; it satisfies everyone in the family, from the rugged outdoorsman looking to tow all that’s needed for an outdoor adventure to those looking to ride to their destination in style and comfort.

Liberty Buick GMC is ready to help you achieve that future — a world where everyone gets something out of their new family vehicle. Take a look at the new vehicles we have for sale, and consider scheduling an appointment for a test drive!

A Pickup Craze

Pickup trucks are all the rave right now, and their market share increases year after year. Manufacturers have taken notice of this trend. They seek to make their pickup trucks top-of-the-line models by showing all the models can do instead of letting themselves stay related to the trope of the trucks of old.

“Trucks represent about 20% of U.S. sales this year, a tad more than cars. In fact, pickups account for three of the five bestselling vehicles this year.” – Lee Cowan, CBS News

This increased demand for trucks has impacted their pricing and the competitiveness that makes a truck stand out. There are countless pickups on the market, so why choose the GMC Sierra Denali? Power, versatility, and luxury are all ways the Denali stands out in a crowded field, and through reading more, you’ll likely come to that same conclusion.

The pickup craze isn’t just limited to men. Women have increasingly been looking to purchase high-performing trucks. While some studies say that less than 20 years ago, women were only 10% of the truck sales market, some numbers have that figure more than doubling and place females as nearly a quarter of new truck owners. When you have innovation like the Denali, you’re encouraging more folks than ever to make the jump into pickup ownership.

When settling on a truck, you don’t just purchase a vehicle for point A to point B. You purchase a lifestyle. Something culturally significant about trucks has lent itself to this large increase in market share.

“I’ve seen more bar fights over what truck you drive than I’ve seen anything else. I mean, it’s competitive, right? There’s no country song about a Camry!” –  Tim Esterdahl, publisher of Pickup Truck + SUV Talk

Make sure you buy a truck that you’re proud of! Choose the Sierra Denali.

A Next-Level Engine

As a nod to those looking for power to support whatever adventures they come across, it’s essential we talk about the Sierra’s engine. This pickup truck doesn’t just provide comfort; it has unrivaled power and is capable of doing everything required of a modern truck and more. Those who purchase a 2024 Denali have a few options with engines, all of which are some of the most impressive options on the market.

The 5.3L gas engine offers power and capability and utilizes gas like many other trucks on the market. With 355 horsepower, 383 pound-feet of torque, this engine offers max towing of loads up to 11,100 lbs.

The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel is another option available to Denali owners, and it provides more power in tow (13,100 lbs.) than the 5.3L. The Duramax also packs 495 lb-ft of torque. Notably, this engine offers best-in-class fuel economy, making it a fantastic long-term investment.

“The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine has long been a favorite of Sierra light-duty owners. Since the launch of the refined Duramax for the 2024 model year, around 20% of all Sierra 1500s sold have come with the engine, and we expect its addition to the AT4X trim to take the mix even higher.” – Will Mellon, marketing manager, GMC Sierra.

Lastly, the 6.2L V8 Engine — included in all Denali Ultimates and available in the 1500s — offers strength in a gas engine. It yields 420 hp, 460 lb-ft of torque, and 13,100 lbs of towing capability, and it combines the previous two engines’ best features. The 6.2L V8 also produces dynamic fuel management with 15 city/19 highway mpg. The Denali options leave you in charge of what’s under your hood, inside your interior, and everything in between.

Safety and Technology

What’s beneath the hood will get you where you need to go, but that’s just a foundation. Without an impressive technology and safety suite, you’ve just got one piece of the puzzle. The Denali doesn’t leave its impressive engine to stand alone; it comes equipped with best-in-class safety features and technology to round out an already advanced truck.

The Denali knows it’s a big truck, and parking and rear assist features make fitting into tight areas easier. The truck also utilizes GMC’s set of safety features. Liberty Buick GMC has touched on these before, so we’ll just highlight all that’s included here:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Following Distance Indicator
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• IntelliBeam (auto high beams)
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

And with technology, the Denali intends to impress. Situated in its interior, you’ll find surround sound features that are best used in tandem with the Denali’s infotainment system. This infotainment system gives you access to all the entertainment, information, and mapping you could ever need on the road, all packaged in a slick 13” touchscreen. The system even comes with a tailgating app that makes hauling a cinch.

Moreover, a heads-up display casts critical info onto the bottom corner of your windshield to keep you up to date on everything vital while keeping your eyes on the road. Denali drivers and passengers will feel like they stepped into the future; you can read more about GMC’s features through Liberty Buick GMC here!

Luxury to Write Home About

Part of the Denali’s broad appeal is its status as a luxury truck. Pickup trucks are often seen as rugged, skipping on some bells and whistles for performance. But the Denali challenges that perception and offers niceties that rival any luxury vehicle on the market without sacrificing performance.

“It’s basically the Maybach of pickups, and once you rocket into these stratospheres, you almost don’t want to treat it like a truck at all.” – Kristen Lee, Motor Trend

The Denali’s interior stands out as a premier luxury truck, emulating the feel of a cozy cabin. Open-pore Pladeo wood makes up much of the dash, accented by a brown leather interior with eye-catching stitching. A feature unique to the Denali returns, with a topographical map of the Denali appearing on that open-pore wood dash. Best-in-class heated and ventilated seats round out a set of comfort features that will keep you comfortable, even when exploring.

The interior is roomy and gives you more legroom than many other trucks on the market. You may be hesitant to treat the Denali like a truck and get the interior dirty. Still, the pickup is designed to handle a bit of everything; remember that even the coziest cabins occasionally have some dirt tracked in!
