DETROIT-Here in 2018, the luxury car is dead. It's not that people don't want vehicles packed with gadgets and leather, it's just that they want them to come in the shape of a truck or SUV. In 2017, the top three selling vehicles were all light trucks, plenty of which are used for commuting rather than hauling heavy loads to work sites. GMC has been selling loaded pickups for almost two decades now, and the company has high hopes for its new 2019 Sierra, which it revealed to the world on Wednesday afternoon in Detroit.

"The heritage of the GMC brand is rooted in full-size trucks, of which the Sierra is our cornerstone, with our SLT and Denali models contributing 87 percent of our total crew cab sales," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC. "The next-generation Sierra caters to these unique customers who demand a premium, innovative truck that supports their professional and personal passions."
