2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Crew Cab review notes - AutoWeek

EXECUTIVE EDITOR BOB GRITZINGER: This 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Crew Cab is such a good truck that it will be interesting to get behind the wheel of the all-new 2014 Sierra/Silverado lineup when they arrive to experience firsthand how they've... Yes, it is pricey, but so are others in this neighborhood, including high-end Ford F-150s. This Denali-trimmed model is in the same league as the best luxury models from the likes of Range Rover , Infiniti , et al, with a handsome appearance,... Steering is true, brakes are sufficient and there's good body control for such a big, heavy, high-riding vehicle. Those who need to haul, and haul in style, need to take a drive in this Sierra Denali. NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: Driving a blinged-out GMC Sierra strikes all the right chords. It feels great to step into the throttle on the expressway and make use of the 403-hp V8. It sounds forceful and potent, and it really has a confidence not found in many vehicles. Sometimes it's surprising how good big-truck transmissions are. The Sierra Denali is wrapped in a strong, built, cocky package, with blocky fenders, huge chrome wheels and a long hood. It handles precisely and makes the driver feel in command. The interior is comfortable, elegant and makes nice use of materials with a sharp execution. Source: autoweek.com
