General Motors’ GMC truck brand is getting ready to show off a rugged new concept truck at Colorado’s Vail Mountain this week, dubbed the “GMC Sierra All Mountain”. Based on the 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali 4WD Crew, the All Mountain is a one-of-a-kind custom build made to showcase just how far GM’s heavy-duty pickup can be pushed to tackle the extremes of weather, terrain, and inclines.
The 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD All Mountain is powered by GM’s 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel, spitting out up to 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque, and backed by an Allison 1000 six-speed automatic. Tank-style Mattracks 150-Series tracks with a GMC Red paint job have been fitted, lending the All Mountain an extraordinary ability to traverse snow-covered slopes. A 30-inch Rigid E-Series light bar, and LED lighting in the wheel wells and under the body, provide extra visibility and a touch of pizazz, while Thule Snowboard Racks and a roll-up tonneau cover from Advantage give the truck a bit more practicality.
Topping it all off is the unique graphics on the sides of the cab and bed, and in the cabin, Kicker audio with an amplifier and dual-pod speaker kit.
“The Sierra All Mountain concept is perfectly suited for the outdoor activities offered at Vail properties,” says GMC Marketing Director Rich Latek. “This unique concept truck is a fun way to attract attention to GMC and highlight our partnership with Vail Resorts.”
The concept will remain on display at Vail Mountain for the winter season, while GMC maintains a presence in the Town of Vail with other vehicle displays, courtesy vehicles, and special events.

Semi-professional grade.
I take it back – it’s kinda cool, and I like seeing an advanced concept vehicle put into action. Graphics on the sides are a little gaudy for a Denali, but I’d guess the crew @ Vail will be lined up to give it a try.
Not even a new idea, it has been around for a while already.
