2011 GMC Sierra Denali HD – All New Independent Front Suspension

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

The GMC brand, which offers customers trucks, vans, and SUVs now offers the 2011 Sierra Denali HD, using for the first time the Denali line on of the heavy-duty 2011 Sierra 200HD and 300HD trucks. Previously only used on trucks in the light division, the Denali nameplate is synonymous with luxury. Customers will find the new 2011 Sierra Denali HD at dealerships early summer, 2010.

GMC’s 2011 Sierra HD’s new 6.6L Duramax turbo diesel grants 397 horsepower (296 kW) at 3,000 rpm and 765 lb.-ft. of torque (1,037 Nm) at 1,600 rpm. Towing capacity has also been upped at: (20,000 lbs. / 9,072 kg) and payload (6,335 lbs. / 2,873 kg). This great towing capability is supported by all-new frames and strong suspensions.

According to GMC, the 2011 Sierra Denali HD independent suspension offers “25-percent increased front axle rating and superior control under all conditions.” While the ‘short-long arm torsion bar front suspension’ was kept, new features were put in by engineers like forged steel upper control arms made of materials that are stronger but lighter. Owners living in climates with heavy snow falls can opt for the ‘snow plow package’. These are available for all 4WD cab configurations.

Here are a few details about the front/rear end suspension:

*All-new lower control arms are built from cast iron (precision-machined)
*Five torsion bar rates support five front gross axle weight ratings
*Trim height is adjusted on each bar via a single bolt
*New frames and larger rear leaf springs allow greater strength designed to support greater loads

Customers that buy the 2011 Sierra Denali HD need a vehicle that will get the job done but they want their office away from the office to give them all the options available to get the job done and with creature comforts not lacking. GMC realizes this and the independent front suspension grants a comfortable ride plus so much more in one workhorse of a truck.
