Dallas GMC Dealer Shows Off 2011 GMC Sierra

Jerry Durrant GMC dealer of Dallas proudly presents the 2011 GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickups, with increased towing and payload capability, the most powerful vehicles in the segment.

Jerry Durant GMC is the leading Fort Worth GMC dealer, dedicated to meeting the needs of its customers while offering them reliable and durable GMC trucks and SUVs.

Sierra HD delivers an impressive 21,700 pounds towing and 6,635 pounds payload through a focus on continued development and testing.

“When developing the Sierra HD our focus has consistently been to deliver customers the most capable heavy-duty trucks in the market, along with premium features and styling that distinguish GMC amongst the competition,” said Rick Spina, GM Full-size Truck global vehicle line executive. “Our first set of capability tests confirmed that the team had exceeded the payload and towing targets by a significant margin. Ongoing testing demonstrated a clear opportunity to increase the true capabilities of these trucks.”

GMC engineers were able to increase the towing capacity by putting the Sierra HD through a series of tests with varying terrains, grades and weather conditions. An immense amount of design and lab work was also done to confirm the vehicle’s stable handling.

They achieved the higher payload capacity by putting higher-strength steel to use in the cargo box sills. A great deal more tests followed for the cargo box and rear axle components to arrive at maximum payload rating of 6,635 pounds.

“We encourage consumers to test drive the Sierra HD against the competition,” said Spina. “Based on our test results, we are confident our HDs will prove to be the best choice for real-world towing and hauling needs.”

Production for the Sierra HD begins next week at Flint Assembly in Flint, MI and customers can expect to start seeing the heavy-duty trucks on the dealer lots soon after.
