2005 SIERRA CREW CAB DENALI ADDS EVEN MORE
STYLE, COMFORT AND REFINEMENT TO SIERRA LINEUP
Adding more choices to GMC Sierra’s model lineup for 2005
is the Sierra Crew Cab Denali and 1500HD, which deliver segment-leading
levels of capability, comfort, refinement and safety. The 1500HD
returns to the GMC lineup and is offered in a Crew Cab configuration
that makes it perfect for a wide variety of tasks requiring extra-strong
capability.
A Sierra Hybrid retail model is available in several markets
and, with its unique starter generator and torque converter combined
with its Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8, offers up to 10 percent improvement
in fuel economy while delivering the same horsepower (295 / 220
kw) and torque (330 lb.-ft. / 447 Nm) as other gasoline-only Vortec
5300-equipped Sierra pickups.
The Sierra Crew Cab Denali replaces the Extended Cab version
and brings standard all-wheel drive and superior performance.
"The new Sierra Crew Cab Denali is all about comfort and style,
while maintaining the professional grade capabilities that have
driven GMC to 10 record-setting sales years out of the last 11,"
said Craig Bierley, GMC product director. "It is the next logical
step in giving truck customers the refinement and amenities they're
asking for."
Sierra Crew Cab Denali joins the Yukon Denali, Yukon XL Denali,
Envoy Denali and Envoy XL Denali in a growing family of expressive,
well-appointed premium trucks and SUVs.
As with its Denali brethren, Sierra Crew Cab Denali features
a distinctive front-end appearance, including a chrome grille,
projector-beam headlamps and unique front fascia with foglamps.
Premium exterior cues also include body-color door handles, body
side moldings, tailgate handle, outside mirrors, rear bumper and
tonneau cover. Chrome running boards with integral mud guards
further distinguish the Sierra Crew Cab Denali from other Sierra
offerings.
Seventeen-inch wheels and tires are standard on all Sierra models
for 2005, except 1500HD and Hybrid; and for Sierra Crew Cab Denali
owners who really want to make a statement, 20-inch wheels and
tires will be available during the 2005 model year as an option.
Inside, Sierra Crew Cab Denali exudes style and comfort. There
is a Denali-specific instrument cluster and center console, a
power-operated sunroof, tone-on-tone leather seating, a body-color
and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Exclusive features, including an available power sunroof, enhance
the Sierra Crew Cab Denali’s premium environment, as do
segment-leading audio and entertainment choices. An AM/FM stereo
with cassette and single-disc CD players, a console-mounted six-disc
CD, and a Bose luxury speaker system with enhanced performance
application, Audio Pilot noise reduction feature and seven speakers
(including a subwoofer) are standard.
Rear-seat passengers can enjoy watching a movie on the optional
DVD player. The system includes a flip-down, 7-inch (178-mm) screen
and also can play both CD-audio and DVD-format discs. Two sets
of wireless (infrared) headphones with independent volume control,
a wireless remote control and three sets of auxiliary video/audio
inputs are included.
"The original Extended Cab Sierra Denali and Yukon Denali set
the benchmark for premium comfort and amenities in trucks and
SUVs and Sierra Crew Cab Denali builds on that reputation," said
Bierley.
The 2005 Sierra Crew Cab Denali replaces the previous Extended
Cab Sierra Denali.
Style and performance
Supporting the Sierra Crew Cab Denali’s professional grade
capabilities is the powerful Vortec 6000 6.0L High Output V-8
LQ9 engine. The LQ9 produces 345 horsepower (257 kw) and 380 lb.-ft.
(525 Nm) of torque. It’s more powerful than any engine previously
offered in a Denali model and boasts numerous technological innovations,
including electronic throttle control, which does away with the
traditional mechanical link between the gas pedal and engine throttle
to deliver crisp, more immediate throttle response.
Backing the Vortec 6000 High Output V-8 is the Hydra-Matic 4L65-E
electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. Based
on the proven 4L60-E, the “L65” is built with heavy-duty
components, such as five-pinion gearsets and specially hardened
input shafts, to handle the increased torque of high-power V-8
engines.
The Sierra Crew Cab Denali’s other integrated powertrain
components include full-time all-wheel drive and locking rear
differential. The always-engaged all-wheel-drive system has no
buttons to push, splitting torque approximately 60 percent to
the rear wheels and 40 percent to the front. Combined with the
standard locking differential the Sierra Crew Cab Denali has sure-footed
grip, whether driving up a snowy road or pulling a boat and trailer
up a ramp. This powertrain combination, along with a standard
4.10 rear axle ratio, allows a towing capacity of approximately
8,100 pounds (3,674 kg).
Balanced ride and handling characteristics are delivered by the
standard Z71 suspension, which includes three-leaf rear springs
and 46-mm gas-charged shocks at all corners. The Sierra Crew Cab
Denali also is equipped with an advanced vacuum-boost brake system,
which provides excellent stopping power for high-deceleration
stops and optimum anti-lock performance. They also require less
maximum pedal force during high-deceleration stops and improve
pedal effort and feel during normal operation.
Crew Cab capability
The foundation for the Sierra Crew Cab Denali is the 1500 Series
Sierra Crew Cab, which went into production for the 2004 model
year. Both versions feature a 143.5-inch (364.5-cm) wheelbase
with a specially sized 5-foot 8-inch (1.7 m) cargo bed and a conventional
Crew Cab passenger compartment. The vehicle offers 49.6 cubic
feet (1,404.6L) of cargo volume.
A 1500HD model returns to the Sierra lineup in the Crew Cab configuration.
Equipped with the 300-horsepower (224-kw) Vortec 6000, the 1500HD
has a GVWR of 8,600 pounds (3,901 kg) and, when properly equipped,
can tow up to 10,300 lbs. (4,672 kg). Sierra 1500HD models are
available in two- and four-wheel drive.
Sierra Crew Cab models have room for five or six passengers,
with the front-passenger seat equipped with GM’s Passenger
Sensing System, which deactivates the passenger frontal air bag
under certain conditions to help protect smaller occupants. The
system assesses the size of the occupant in the seat, based on
measured weight in the seat cushion and tension in the belt system.
If these measurements are typical for a small occupant or a child
in a booster seat, for example, the air bag is disabled. A telltale
in the rearview mirror lets the occupant know if the system is
on or off (not available on 1500HD).
Diverse powertrain lineup
New for 2005 is the addition of an aluminum variant of GM’s
Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 (L33) engine. Featured exclusively on four-wheel-drive
Extended Cab Standard Box models, this engine delivers 310 horsepower
(231 kw) – that’s 15 more than the cast iron version.
Additional customer benefits of this engine include a 100-pound
(45 kg) weight reduction. The aluminum 5.3L engine will deliver
all of the durability and reliability benefits that have made
this engine a true workhorse. It will run exclusively on gasoline.
GM’s Duramax 6600 6.6L (V-8) turbo-diesel was already legendary
for its awesome performance, but engineers decided to make it
even better. Both hardware and software were upgraded in ’04,
resulting in a 10 horsepower (7.5 kw) increase. Not satisfied
with “good enough,” the engineers went back to work
and the result is a 70 lb.-ft. (97 Nm) torque increase for 2005.
Sierra 2500HD and 3500 owners will now reap the benefits of a
powerplant that delivers 310 horsepower (231 kw) at 3000 rpm and
605 lb.-ft. (836 Nm) of torque at 1600 rpm when equipped with
the Allison automatic transmission.
Hybrid highlights
Introduced during the 2004 model year, GMC Sierra Hybrid promises
up to 10 percent improvement in fuel economy and returns all the
performance and capability expected in a full-size pickup. The
Vortec 5300 V-8 engine delivers 295 horsepower (220 kw) and 335
lb.-ft. (463 Nm) of torque – the same as its non-hybrid
counterpart. Yet there’s something the Sierra Hybrid provides
that standard models do not: it is essentially a mobile power-generating
station, with four 120-volt/20-amp electrical auxiliary power
outlets (APO). The power outlets are located under the rear seat
of the cab and in the pickup bed. Customers can conveniently operate
power equipment without taking up the bed space typical portable
generators would use.
A key contributor to the Hybrid’s fuel efficiency is its
ability to automatically stop and restart the engine under different
operating circumstances. Instead of a conventional starter motor
and alternator, Hybrid pickups use a compact 14-kw electric induction
motor or starter generator integrated in a patented, space-efficient
manner between the engine and transmission. The starter generator
provides fast, quiet starting power and allows automatic engine
stops/starts to conserve fuel. It also smoothes out any driveline
surges; generates electrical current to charge the batteries and
run auxiliary power outlets; and provides coast-down regenerative
braking, as an aid to fuel economy.
Please see the “Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Hybrid”
section of the Fleet and Commercial portion of the Product Information
Guide for complete details on the Sierra Hybrid.
OnStar upgrade
OnStar-equipped Sierra models feature new sixth-generation hardware
with digital and analog coverage. OnStar’s Gen 6 hardware
also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities
including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved
voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of
in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United
States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless
technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal
Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated
phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system
and external antenna for greater reception.
