2010 GMC Sierra 2500 Spy Shots

By Leroy Brown on July 7th, 2008

There are some fresh shiny new spy shots over at Left Lane News - of the 2010 GMC Sierra 2500. You’d probably think that no one cares about such a truck in the days of $4+ per gallon gasoline. And you would be right! Even GM doesn’t really care -there’s no camo at all on this truck. Under the hood of this truck is the refreshed 6.6 liter Duramax diesel V8. Reportedly, this engine will be packing in excess of 700 lb-ft of torque.

Normally I’d be drooling and in a bit of a daze after seeing that number. Instead, I can’t help but wonder how prodigiously it gulps fuel. Sure, it’s a diesel, but that’s one big-ass engine, and a whole lot of power. Plus diesel is scaring five bucks a gallon. Sorry to say it, but this one makes me cringe instead. Wrong time guys, wrong time.

While I might normally agree with given the gas prices, I think GMC is right on with pushing the HP and Torque numbers given the market. From what I have read, all the manufacturers are backing off on production of these larger trucks, They are going to produce smaller numbers and target the people that ‘need’ to have a truck, whether it be for towing or hauling by offering a truck that is the class leader at what it is really built for. Personally, sign me up, it was interesting that they spotted a urea tank on the 2010. Maybe the diesel particulate filters on the current models rob too much power and fuel efficiency. Maybe with the urea injection they can provide larger power gains while still maintaining fuel efficiency.
