Frankly, we're surprised that this is only a concept, as the idea is very simple: take the heavy-duty GMC Sierra, glitz up the outside, luxe up the interior, and slap the Denali
Follow the jump for full details on the concept.

PRESS RELEASE:
GMC Sierra HD Denali
GMC's Denali brand represents the most premium and powerful models of the Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL and Envoy lineups, but the Denali badge has never been applied to a heavy-duty truck – until now. Designers and engineers developed the Sierra HD Denali concept todemonstrates how the Denali ethic translates to GMC's most capable trucks. They started with a Sierra 2500HD crew cab and infused it with all of the features and accoutrements expected of a Denali, including unique exterior styling and an enhanced interior. The Sierra HD Denali is powered by the powerful 6.6L Duramax diesel V-8 engine and rides on custom 20-inch wheels.

They had my picture on their desk when they designed this truck, only one thing can make it better.... the bling-tastic Escalade body.

Too bad this is only a concept. I would definitely have put this on the top of my shopping list for my next car/truck. I like the styling of the GMC Sierra Denali, but would much rather it be powered by the 6.6L Duramax diesel. The interior on the Sierra Denali is excellent, and a shame the Denali interior trim is not available on the 2500HD.
Hopefully, this makes it into production.

My thinking exactly.This should have been available 6 years ago. Ford is selling King Ranch and Harley Davidson Superduty's like hotcakes. If you're shelling out 48k for a tow rig, chances are good you'll go for the real luxury bits. Might need some velvet-ride shackles or something, but this would be cool.
