GMC Sierra Getting Redesigned For 2014

Scheduled to hit dealer lots next year as a 2014 model year is GM’s newly redesigned GMC Sierra pickup, but it appears that this truck will just be the tip of the iceberg. Now it’s a possibility that GM may be considering extensively redesigning all of their upcoming pickups.

It’s believed that the new 2014 GMC Sierra will not only offer better fuel economy, but a new chassis is also expected with the exterior and interior of the pickup entirely changed. In addition, improved aerodynamics will go along with engine improvements, a lightened load and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Such an overhaul is no surprise as GM has been investing heavily into new technology to improve fuel economy. And with the success of the Ford F-150 EcoBoost, GM knows what they can get away with in the pickup market.

Next year we should be seeing the redesigned 1500 pickups but it’s expected that revamped 2500 and 3500 variants will make an appearance a year later. Expect a ton of engineering improvements to occur across all of GM’s pickups in the next few years.
