American manufacturer General Motors had just announced pricing details of the new GMC Sierra HD heavy duty pickups that will begin arriving at US dealerships in June. Getting straight to the point, the 2011 Sierra HD will have a starting price of $27,965, which excludes a $995 destination charge for the 2500 regular cab 2WD model. On the other hand, the Sierra Denali HD will start at $45,865, excluding destination.

The 2011 Sierra HD comes with increased towing capability (up to 20,000 lbs./9,072 kg) and payload (up to 6,335 lbs./2,873 kg) that is supported by an all-new fully-boxed, high-strength steel frame. The pickup also comes with a trailer sway control, a 'smart' exhaust brake and hill start assist, among others.

On the other hand, the 2500HD 4WD crew cab Sierra Denali HD comes with a Denali four-bar, chrome grille with round air inlets, body-color bumpers, chrome door handles, chrome accents and 18- and 20-inch polished forged aluminum wheels. It is also fitted with a number of infotainment features, such as OnStar and Turn-by-Turn navigation, available mobile WiFi, USB connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, and XM Satellite Radio.

"The all-new 2011 Sierra Denali HD blends capability with premium features and styling," said Lisa Hutchinson, GMC product marketing director. "With its powerful, best-in-class diesel engine, the new Sierra HD models have increased towing and hauling capabilities, a key consideration for people who use them for work or for recreation such as towing a large boat or trailer."

The 2011 Sierra HD lineup comprises eleven 2500HD models and eight single- and dual-rear-wheel 3500HD models offered in WT, SLE and SLT trim levels. Standard on all models is a new, larger 36-gallon fuel tank. Just like the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD, the Sierra HD also features a reengineered Duramax diesel engine with a highway range up to 680 miles, and new B20 biodiesel capability.
