Hot Or Not? The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500

Those of you that remember the GMC Sierra All Terrain HD concept truck from a few years ago may see a lot of its features in the design of the all-new 2014 Sierra 1500, including a massive grille, cubed lights, a protruding bumper, and a swollen hood. Indeed, the new GMC half-ton is closer in size to the outgoing, high-riding Heavy Duty models than the current light duty version. We’re not complaining, but a few of you might think the new Sierra comes off as comical.
Therefore, we’re asking you — wonderful readers: is the 2014 GMC Sierra hot, or not? Last comment wins. Go!

Overall, the truck looks great. But something about those headlights makes me say “Not”. It somewhat looks like the truck is squinting. Or something. I’m not sure, but it makes the front end look very awkward.
The new Silverado looks better IMO.
Overlordspock said it correctly. The headlights are all wrong. They should look like that concept they had or something different that has quad headlights( two on each side of the grille. The headlights need to be reworked. Chevrolet got it right. Those headlights detract from the front end styling. GMC has been putting some unattractive front ends on all its vehicles for some time. The Yukon is not pretty either. They fix the headlight design, it will be fine.
Well, like many, I reserve my judgement (mostly) until I can see them in person. But, from the photos and descriptions, I would say that it is “hot”,or at least “hotter” than the last model.
Initially I wasn’t impressed. But I’ll wait to have a true opinion until I see it in person and actually drive it
I think its hot, but the head lights and the fog lights seem just a bit odd in design. Thinking it will look great in real life. I never liked the last design all that much, but bought a 07 and really have grow to like it. Also hated the redesign in 2003 but bought one then and really liked it.
Now the interior seems strange to me with that wrap of the dash around center stack and air outlets. But love the seats, door panels, steering wheel, just really nice.
And man do they look nice driving in the videos I have seen. Nothing like driving America in a GM pickup.
I’ll hold off judgement until we see the full line of updated trucks including HD editions
I like it alot
Where’s the denali?
Think that the grille — although GMC themed — isn’t strong enough to draw your eyes away from the headlights. They shouldn’t be the focus. I am thinking something stronger — big GMC in a grille like the Ford Raptor — and then your eyes would be drawn to the grille and the headlights become the accents that they should be.
HOT…..But Still Wanted Way More Innovation!!!!! 🙁
I like the pictures of the truck but will have to wait and see it in person to make a final judgement. As for innovation I believe that we haven’t seen the true innovation of the truck until the magazines get their hands on the truck. Especially waiting to see the numbers on all of the new engines and the fuel economy numbers on the new engine mated with the six speed tranny. As far as the Intellilink is I will have to get my hands on it to pass judgement. I am definitely interested in the new trucks. Can’t wait to test drive a few.
Katakis should have asked , the interior and exterior , hot or not ?? WE know nothing of the performance , no road test etc . For me , the looks are okay , about the same height and presence as Ram and Ford . The interior also looks okay and again probably covers the competition . The Chey model grill looks too much like the previous one . That bar that runs across it and on the cars is old in the tooth and should have been discarded years ago . Refining the beast shouldn’t take four years or more ! The competition is too tight and hungry !! Too bad the working man who needs the truck for his work/trade takes back seat to the wannabees who want to fit in….appearance is everything , interiors become fashion statements . ..sad really !
All the trucks shown are fully loaded ones, how ugly is the base model and the mid-trim one? The front reminds me of a Honda Pilot for some reason. I’ll have to wait and see one in person.
I like the Chevy. Would love the GMC if they changed those head lights. I am not a fan of those led strips on top and bottom of the head lights.
I am glade GM finally put four wheel disc brakes on all models and fully boxed the frame. So far, great job. Can’t wait to see what kind of mpg they are going to get with the eight speed transmission. If its only one or two mpg better then the current model, then the engineers need to be taken out back and beaten.
Verry Hot 🙂
Just saw an advert on Utube for the 2014 Sierra. All black, Crew Cab. Dang it looks good.
He is verry wunderfull and very nice and have a future, but we must wait of the 3500HD
Denali for look how the GMC develops.
Concept was very cool, especially side and rear profile. Production model shape is a real let down. Bummer! I like it better than the 2013 model, but overall I have to say “Not”. Guess I’ll be looking at the Ford.
Leave it to GM to omit everything that mattered and had people excited about the all-tarrain HD. They took the parts that were irrelevant, scrapped everything novel, ingenious, useful and cutting edge in order to keep peddling the same tired crap. You’d think we should get a say in whether they make it or not, I mean WE the people own billions in GM stock via the treasury bailout. But I digress….

Not sure to what you are referring to specifically — can you please educate the rest of us???
As for owning stock and exercising day-to-day decision making, stockholders usually don’t get that privelege. That privelege gets you people on the board who represent you — and even they don’t make day to day detail decisions.
hopefully GM isn’t scared about the Ford ATLAS concept though 🙁
