The GMC Sierra 2500HD is a formidable truck and the
company has decided to kick things up a notch by creating the All Mountain
concept. Set to be unveiled later this week in Colorado, the All Mountain
concept is based on the Sierra 2500HD Denali 4WD Crew Cab and it has been
equipped with Mattracks which enable the model to handle extremely snowy
conditions.
While the tracks are the most noticeable
modification, the truck has also been equipped with custom graphics, an LED light
bar, and a rugged front skid plate. The model also has side steps, a tonneau
cover, and snowboard racks from Thule.
Power is provided by a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo
diesel engine which produces 445 hp and 1,232 Nm of
torque. It is connected to a six-speed Allison automatic transmission that
sends power to a four-wheel drive system.
The concept will be displayed at Vail Mountain over
the winter as part of a partnership with Vail Resorts. As GMC marketing
director Rich Latek explained “This unique concept truck is a fun way to
attract attention to GMC and highlight our partnership with Vail Resorts.”
Fans who can't make it out to Colorado will be able
to check out a similar All Mountain concept which will be unveiled at the Los
Angeles Auto Show later this month. Little is known about the model but GMC
said it will be based on the Sierra 2500HD All Terrain X.
