GMC Introduces Sierra HD All Terrain X

Third model in brand’s X series offered 

with all-new Duramax 6.6L diesel

 

AUSTIN, Texas — GMC today introduced the 2017 Sierra HD All Terrain X, the most off-road-capable model in the Sierra HD lineup, and one that matches its enhanced capability with trail-ready style and the brand’s signature refinement.

It joins Canyon and Sierra 1500 this fall as the third model in GMC’s distinctive, limited-edition All Terrain X series, offered on the Sierra 2500HD crew cab 4WD with a 6.0L gas V-8 engine or the all-new, next-generation Duramax 6.6L V-8 turbo-diesel. More powerful than ever, the new Duramax delivers a segment-topping SAE-certified 445 hp (332 kW) and an SAE-certified 910 lb.-ft. of torque (1,234 Nm).

“The new Sierra HD All Terrain X’s powerful attitude reflects a popular trend in very capable off-road trucks, executed with a range-topping level of refinement — a combination of attributes GMC has cultivated for years,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing. “And with the new, available Duramax 6.6L, this truck more than matches its bold good looks with true professional-grade capability.”

The All Terrain X’s customized appearance blends a premium package of monochromatic exterior trim and special equipment, complemented with GMC’s latest technologies. Content includes:
•    18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels

GM's 2017 New Duramax Turbo-Diesel Most Powerful to Date

 

The next-generation turbo-diesel 6.6-liter Duramax engine, set to debut in the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty and GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickup trucks, will offer more torque, power and fewer emissions than ever before. GM debuted the engine at the 2016 State Fair of Texas.


Rated at 445 horsepower at 2,850 rpm and 910 pounds-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm, the new engine is essentially all new. GM engineers have touched just about every piece of the V-8 engine from tip to tail to make it stronger and more efficient. Yes, it is still the same displacement and it still offers a 32-valve setup, but other than that, every aspect of this new engine is new and upgraded.

The more powerful Duramax (with 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more hp) has a new, stronger cast-iron block able to house a larger-diameter crankshaft with stronger connecting rods and cast-aluminum pistons. The aluminum cylinder heads now incorporate intake and exhaust passages, is stiffer, and provides much better cooling.
