If you are a big fan of heavy-duty trucks with great power and excellent towing ability, you will be glad to hear that the new GMC Denali 3500 HD is on its way to hit the market as a 2019 model. According to the information our team has got, the new Denali 3500 will be a real beast under the hood and an excellent choice for your working conditions.
Exterior
The 2019 GMC Denali 3500 HD will mostly use high-strength steel in building its chassis. In fact, the two-thirds of its body will be made of this material. Also, as we have been informed, the new Denali 3500 will abandon its older platform and be based on the new one, known as GM T1. Speaking of chassis, the new heavy-duty truck coming from Sierra will as well be lighter in weight which will largely benefit its acceleration and total performance. When it comes to improvements, the handling, precision and maneuvering will be significantly enhanced thanks to its Electronic Directing Aid program. The new Denali 3500 HD will be available in three cab configurations – a regular, dual and crew cab. It will also appear with an extended bed. In the front fascia, you will notice the xenon headlights with LED daytime running lamps. The truck will be standing on 18-inch chromed aluminum wheels. Also, looking at the side profile, we have seen that the exterior mirrors will be more aerodynamic which help this truck reduce the outside noise and vibrations and get a quieter cabin.
Interior
As we have already mentioned, you can expect reduced noise and vibrations, so you will get a quieter cabin inside the 2019 GMC Denali 3500 HD. The cabin will also be more comfortable and spacious with numerous upgraded features. The front seats will be heated, ventilated and covered in leather. The driver will get a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel as well. Technology inside this truck will be upgraded and you will find an 8.0-inch touch-screen display with the latest infotainment system and options such as navigation, HD radio, Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot, USB ports, Apple Car Play and Android Auto. When it comes to safety systems and driver assist features these will include airbags, forward collision alert, rearview camera, lane-departure warning, front and rear park assist, hill start assist, traction control and others.
