GMC Sierra beats Silverado in 2019
I now see why General Motors introduced the Silverado first, because once you see what GMC has done with the business end of the 2019 Sierra, you may not look at any other pick-up.

This is one aggressive looking truck. You can’t help but instantly notice the asymmetric angled wheel wells, which add a new dimension to the simplicity forced on pick-up truck designers by the nature of a two box design.
First is the six-function MultiPro tailgate that is comprised of an inner and outer gate. Every other tailgate since the invention of the wooden cart go up and down. 4,000 years later all manufacturers achieved were tailgates that were powered and work by a remote.
After the literal bashing the F-150 got for having an aluminum bed, where else could GMC go to save weight? The answer is carbon fibre. It’s used in aircraft and race cars for its flexibility, strength and reduced weight. We use carbon fibre in everything from fishing rods to golf clubs to waterskis.
Often the biggest part of work and play is trailering, and while the mechanics of trailering haven’t changed much, the electronic aids have. The ProGrade trailering system is standard on both the Denali and SLT models. Some features I can never see myself using like the Trailering App featuring a Pre-Departure checklist, and Maintenance Reminders. But others like the Trailer Light Test, Trailer Electrical Diagnostics, and Trailer Tire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring will save time and make hooking up easier.
