told us earlier this year that the
would be getting a 3.0-liter V6
option, but it never mentioned power or
figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we’ve been waiting for. Originally published by
, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that’s more than the
250 horsepower and
pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from
as well.
Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the
‘s 30 mpg — mind you, it’s only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There’s another caveat here, too; these are numbers for
, so they’re not exactly finalized
figures. However, we wouldn’t expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than
, so we’re going to hold our final judgment for official word.
A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the
is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical ,to those we see here. We recently drove the
and
without the diesel engines, so go check those
out if you’d like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks.
