Two buttons on the tailgate handle allow for convenient inner gate release.

• Segment-first Rear Camera Mirror offers an optimized view via an available dual-function interior mirror that expands vision to overcome common visual obstructions like occupants or cargo. It features a a higher resolution camera and display and the ability to tilt or zoom the view.
• Surround Vision: This available feature offers a birds-eye view of the truck. It displays an overhead image on the infotainment screen, helping the driver detect potential obstacles when backing up.

The vehicle has a larger, more dominant upright grille, a taller hood, and a bolder take on GMC’s signature C-shaped lighting. The wheels are pushed closer to the corners and feature larger tires. Denali has available 22-inch Ultra Bright aluminum wheels and the SLT model offers 22-inch dark aluminum wheels finished with chrome accents.

The cargo boxes offer best-in-class cargo volume – 63 cubic feet on the short box, plus additional tie-downs and a new, available 110-volt power outlet.

Under the hood, new versions of the 6.2L and 5.3L V8 engines will be joined by an all-new 3.0L inline-six turbo-diesel engine. The 5.3L and 6.2L engines feature stop/start technology and new Dynamic Fuel Management that enables the engine to operate on one to eight cylinders, depending on demand, to optimize power and efficiency.
