2010 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD concept
Recently GM announced the GMC Sierra All Terrain HD concept is an exploration of heavy-duty truck capability combined with greater off-road versatility. It underpins the All Terrain HD concept, with a modified, production-based 4WD chassis and the Duramax diesel/Allison 1000 six-speed powertrain.
Equipped features a unique five-foot, eight-inch Crew Cab/short box body configuration that supports a wheels-at-the-corners proportion. Additional off-road elements include:
- Wider, 73-inch (1,853 mm) track for greater stability
- Approximately 3 inches (76 mm) greater ground clearance
- Custom front upper and lower control arms
- Specially constructed Fox off-road shocks with remote fluid reservoirs (integrated in the wheel house liners)
- Front and rear jounce shocks
- Electronic front stabilizer bar disconnection
- 35-inch-tall BFGoodrich KM2 "mud terrain" tires mounted on 20-inch machined aluminum wheels
- Full composite underbody protection.
Design of GMC Sierra HD Concept is an expression of its capabilities - strong, functional and absolutely professional grade. Large fender flares stretch away from the body to cover the 35-inch-tall BFGoodrich tires. At the rear, the cargo box features lockable, lighted storage compartments, along with a number of tie-down cleats, including a pair in the bed floor and two on each side of the bed. A non-slip rubber pad is used on the tailgate, while two special compartments inside the cargo box provide access to a 110-volt power outlet and air compressor. A composite bed liner with a unique "circuit board" pattern provides a protective cover for the bed.
It also incorporates a number of industrial-grade lighting elements, includes:
- High-intensity LED headlamp, taillamp and fog lamp lighting mounted in impact-resistant composite housings and featuring edge-lit illumination
- High-intensity LED park and turn signal lamps
- Smooth-appearance front marker lamps integrated behind the top edge of the windshield glass
- Integrated center high-mounted stop lamp and rear marker lights mounted at the top edge of the rear window glass
- LED floodlights for the cargo bed and assist steps.
Exterior is painted Iridium Metallic - a dark charcoal color that reveals a reddish, anodized inflection when viewed from certain angles.
The interior conveys solidity and precision, blending accent details such as stainless steel mesh and satin chrome with an amplified expression of the All Terrain's premium features. Two-tone dark gray leather seats, matched with embossed carbon fiber-style leather on the seating surfaces, have red contrast stitching. Additional leather-wrapped interior features include the steering wheel, instrument panel and center console. The dashboard, there are navigation system and also features DVR-style.
2010 GMC Sierra HD Concept is powered by the new, production 6.6L Duramax (more fuel-efficient) turbo-diesel V-8 and Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission powertrain combination offered in the 2011 Sierra HD trucks. The Duramax is rated at 397 horsepower (296 kW) and 765 lb.-ft. of torque (1,037 Nm).
