General Motors’ next generation of full-size pickup trucks are well underway as we continue to catch the prototypes testing in various parts of the country. This time, the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 has been spotted in Colorado.
Putzing about the Colorado Rockies, the 2019 Sierra still sports quite a bit of camouflage, which makes it difficult to make out any true details. Though, the LED lighting up front looks identical to previous Sierra prototypes that have been captured in the wild.
Interestingly, this Sierra prototype features round, dual exhaust pipes. Previous shots have shown the 2019 Sierra and Silverado with slim, rectangular units. There may be a different powertrain sitting beneath the hood of this prototype, but nothing is certain.
We’d expect the V8 engine to live on for the next-generation of Sierra, but what GMC has planned for the V6 and beyond is unclear. As competitors introduce diesel and hybrids for their 1500 variants, we may see GM do the same with the Sierra and Silverado.

Do people stake out known test sites to catch glimpses of new vehicles? I’m just curious. I’m not a big follower of automobiles unless I’m in the market for one and the thought of someone trying to catch a glimpse of the next new car, truck or SUV like paparazzi wait for Brad Pitt or one of the Kardashian’s, Well, it tickles me. I don’t think the thought of such interest in new, never before seen vehicles, has ever occurred to me. I’m in no way being judgmental, in case someone does that type of work and gets offended. I think that’s an interesting thing to do. Better than waiting for someone famous to come out in public so everyone can aww over their lack of underwear. Sorry, I’m rambling. Although,I was expecting to see a pic of this never before seen unicorn. I guess I’ll have to wait with everyone else.
