If you you’re looking for a Heavy-Duty Truck in Weatherford, your search is over! Dallas GMC dealer, Jerry’s GMC has PickupTrucks.com Heavy-Duty Shootout winning GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD.

For consumers in the market for a new big hauler, PickupTrucks.com has put 9 heavy-duty pickups through rigorous testing in its Heavy-Duty Shootout to determine which of these trucks performs the best in a variety of different categories.  The testing offers those consumers in the market for a new three-quarter or one-ton pickup an abundance of information for them to choose the truck that best suits their needs.  This year’s winners included the GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD.

“Truck buyers crave data and expect hard numbers on their trucks,” says PickupTrucks.com founder, Mike Levine.  ”Numbers are even more important when reviewing the Heavy-Duty pickups. This is a segment where horsepower, torque, and tow ratings count most with buyers because these trucks are purchased for full-time commercial work and hauling applications, not just personal style. Fuel economy is also a bigger consideration than ever.”

It’s been three years since PickupTrucks.com’s last Heavy-Duty Shootout but in that time there has been tremendous change in the segment. First, the bottom fell out of the truck market when the economy tanked; second, diesel emissions regulations have gotten tougher yet again; and third, all three Heavy-Duty truck manufacturers have made significant improvements to their pickups, all of which were last updated in 2007.

All of this adds up to the perfect time for a new Heavy-Duty Shootout: Ford and GM have both introduced potent new diesel engines and Ford has also introduced a new gas V-8. Ford and Chrysler have made major exterior and interior changes and GM has given its trucks all-new underpinnings and suspensions.

“We’ve seen a huge rebound in the sale of pickups,” says Mike. “These new Heavy-Duty trucks will definitely impact the market and our Shootout, which is the most comprehensive testing of its kind, will tell consumers which is the best to buy.”

For this year’s Heavy-Duty Shootout, tests included loaded and unloaded quarter mile drag runs; loaded 7% hill climbs and loaded 16% hill climbs; loaded and unloaded brake tests; and fuel economy and ride and handling testing. Testing was done in three categories: three-quarter-ton gasoline SRW, three-quarter-ton diesel SRW and one-ton DRW.  To determine the best overall Heavy-Duty pickups in each category, PickupTrucks.com created a scoring system that measured the trucks competency in testing.

One-Ton Diesel: 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD

The best overall one-ton diesel is the 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD. This amazing truck took the top spot in four of six power contests and was close behind in two more. Like the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, its new ride and handling characteristic are excellent and its braking abilities were significantly better than its one-ton competitors. Interior fit and finish in its upscale trim were closer to the Dodge Ram and Ford trucks than any other category. We could tow with a Sierra Denali all day long and feel as confident driving it as it looks good on the road.
