It's The 2016 GMC Sierra's Turn To Be Updated

Just a few short days after the 2016 Silverado received its controversial new front clip, it’s now time for its brother the GMC Sierra to be updated.

We immediately see that the headlights now feature LEDs, as do the fog lights. The front grille as well as the fascia have also been modified, giving the truck a more squared-out look than ever before. The back is also different, with C-shaped LED taillights.

There have been no modifications under the hood, which means that the base-model 4.3-litre V6 is still offered, while the 5.3 and 6.2-litre V8s are optional. The future will tell us if the Sierra, like the Silverado, will pair its eight-speed transmission with more engines.
