Fuel economy is another
area where I find the Sierra
2500HD impressive.
I drove the Onyx Black
crew cab over a 110-mile
interstate test loop at 70 mph
where the Duramax averaged
19.6 mpg. Driving it around
town the fuel economy hov-
ered north of 15.1.
Those numbers give it a
cruising range of roughly 700
miles and 540 in easy city
driving.
Spending that amount of seat time
in some pickups isn't my idea of a
good time. But that's not the case
in the Denali package. The interior
design and packaging is first class.
It's roomy and comfortable. It's also
very quiet on the road – unless,
of course, you crank up the Bose
sound system.
Storage is abundant with the cen-
ter console big enough to swallow
file folders or a laptop, and enough
smaller pockets and nooks through-
out the cab to handle four people's
pocket incidentals.
What does one have to pay for
such a luxurious "work truck?"
Denali HD interior is a refined
as it gets in a pickup, nicely
appointed with leather and
the finest trim in the GM
arsenal.
