Facelifted GMC Sierra Spied: Details Change, the Shape Remains the Same

As is generally the case with midcycle facelifts, the plastic bits are first to get overhauled. It’s clear from these photos that the grille will be updated—sans the blue oval badge, we trust—and the headlights will be revised, as well. It’s not fully obvious, but it looks like the shape of the headlamp binnacle stays the same, while the makeup of the illumination elements gets rearranged and possibly upgraded. Judged by the placement of camo on the rear corners, similar updates are in store for the taillamps.
It is interesting, however, that GM went to the trouble of covering the entire front clip. While the expensive-to-change hard bits from the A-pillar to the tailgate (doors and windows, bed and wheel-arch creases, fuel-filler location) appear to be unchanged, it’s not out of the question that the maker might spring for the tooling to update the hood and front fenders. Unfortunately, this set of images doesn’t reveal much to support this theory—camo one, spy photos zero.
