The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 will receive a more sculpted grille, a smoother body and the brand's new signature LED running lights.
Spy photographers caught the redesigned pickup testing on public streets with very little camouflage, providing the best look yet at the truck.

The new grille is similar to the shape of the face on the current truck, but it slants in more smoothly at the bottom and has a middle section that rises to create two nubs on the bottom.
The headlight stack continues the outgoing truck's sideways U-shape running lights but takes design cues from the redesigned 2018 GMC Terrain, including a longer top line and sickle-shaped side exterior. The fog lights also are mounted vertically instead of horizontally on the current truck.
The redesigned Sierra also appears to feature more prominent GMC badging on the grille and tailgate.

Ram has a plan, it seems, to knock the Silverado out of the No. 2 spot in the full-size pickup segment in 2018 and cut into sales of the midsize Colorado at the same time.How? By continuing to build ...
As in recent years, General Motors appears to be further differentiating the Sierra from its Chevrolet Silverado sibling. Based on previous spy photos, both have unique front fascias. But the bodies mostly appear the same with slight differences in the rear.
Next-gen versions of the Silverado and Sierra have slight slopes in the roofline similar to GM's current midsize pickups, likely to aid aerodynamics. As noted, the relatively flat body panels could indicate the use of aluminum.
Possibly missing from the redesigned pickups are the corner steps on the rear bumper that debuted on the current pickups in 2012.
Both pickups are expected to be unveiled next year, but GM has not confirmed their debuts.
