GMC SIERRA HARLEY-DAVIDSON EDITION SURPRISES THE PICKUP TRUCK SCENE

It’s The First Non-Ford Harley Davidson Edition Pickup Truck

GMC Sierra

Remember the Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition? In case you don’t, here’s a bit of a refresher: from 2000 to 2011, the Harley-Davidson Edition started as an appearance package featuring colorized themes that matched the bikes and logos of the iconic American motorcycle company. Then from 2002 to 2003 things got far more interesting, and the F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition featured a slightly detuned version of the supercharged 5.4L V8 engine from the SVT Lightning. Then came a 100th Anniversary Edition for F-150 SuperCrew trucks, followed by an expansion to the Super Duty trucks in the 2004 model year.

After 2008, the option package adopted many of the options featured from the Platinum trim level, albeit with leather seating produced from materials reserved for Harley-Davidson biker jackets. But by 2012, the Harley-Davidson Edition was replaced by the Limited trim level, and Ford no longer officially produced these licensed pickup trucks.

Enter Tuscany Automotive, an aftermarket company known for its special packages on GM pickup trucks, such as the Chevrolet Silverado ZRX. In 2018, Tuscany and H-D collaborated to resurrect the Harley-Davidson Edition Ford F-150, making a limited run of them for the 2019 model year. But now it seems that production run has finished its course, and Tuscany Automotive has gone to both return to its GM focus while expanding the Harley-Davidson Edition nameplate to a marque other than on a Ford F-150. Behold, the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Harley-Davidson Edition.

The new pickup includes over 65 numerous edition-specific components that make the 2020 model truck distinctly Harley-Davidson. With styling inspired by the Fat Boy motorcycle, the GMC Sierra Harley-Davidson Edition features 65 unique components, highlighted by extensive body work, a billet-tipped exhaust kit, BDS suspension and 35-inch tires surrounding 22-inch wheels.

Pricing has not yet been announced, but the 2020 GMC Sierra Harley-Davidson Edition will be available for delivery via select authorized dealers beginning February 2020.

Muscle Cars & Trucks was founded by Manoli Katakis - an automotive media veteran that has been covering the latest car news since 2009. His journalism has uncovered dozens of major product changes, updates, plans, and cancellations long before automakers were ready to make things official.

Some highlights over the years of his reporting include the uncovering of the Zora trademark before anybody else reported on the coming of a mid-engine Corvette, as well as the dead-accurate reporting of the coming of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, two years before it hit the market, and even before the debut of the concept vehicle. This type of reporting has immediately continued here, with reports of the original seventh-generation Camaro plans being shelved, as well as what's in store for the Chevrolet Silverado.

Some of his work can be found on massive automotive media outlets, such as Motor1. He also has been a guest on the 910AM Radio Station with Detroit News auto critic Henry Payne, as well as the enthusiast-oriented Camaro Show podcast.

Over the years, Manoli has interviewed various automotive industry titans, leaders, and people that make things happen otherwise. These include figureheads such as GM CEO Mary Barra, GM President Mark Reuss, automotive aftermarket icon Ken Lingenfelter, Dodge firebrand Tim Kuniskis, along with various chief engineers of vehicles such as the Ford F-150 & Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro & Corvette, and many more.

At MC&T, Manoli is taking his journalism expertise, deeply planted sources, driving abilities, and automotive industry knowledge to new levels, covering more vehicles and brands than ever before. This is the place where you will continue to read groundbreaking stories about American performance vehicles, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles. Here is where you’ll also read insights and quotes from various automotive subject matter experts on the latest relevant products, as well as some of the latest official news from their manufacturers.

Fun facts: he also once beat Corvette Racing driver Tommy Milner in an autocross with a Chevrolet Bolt EV. The biggest vehicle he’s ever driven is a John Deere mining truck. Besides a go-kart, the smallest vehicle he’s driven has been a Hyundai i10. He’s also spent time in the cockpit of various American performance vehicle icons, including the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Dodge Challenger Demon, and Ford Mustang GT350R. He has reviewed dozens of trucks, SUVs, and performance vehicles over the years.

One of his favorite new vehicles on the market today happens to be the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison. He is also a card carrying member of the Sports Car Club of America, and regularly participates in Detroit Region autocross events.
