More Professional Grade Capabilities: 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 All-Terrain pickup truck
With exterior design the top draw for customers to the Sierra 1500, GMC’s best-selling truck rolls into 2016 with a fresh appearance that takes its signature premium styling to a higher level – and offers new, advanced engineering features designed to complement its crafted interior.
The new look for the Sierra 1500 offers greater visual distinction among the models and some special equipment packages such as the All Terrain, while also introducing significant lighting technology upgrades. Standard equipment highlights include: new headlamps with GMC signature LED lighting; HID projector-beam headlamps with LED signature; thin-profile LED foglamps; new grille design with model specific appearance; and LED taillamps.
The Sierra All-Terrain package blends capability with unique style to make a statement on or off road. It is available on 4WD double cab and crew cab models with SLE or SLT trims. Additional standard content includes: Z71 Off-Road suspension package with Rancho monotube shocks, high-capacity air cleaner, Hill Descent Control and underbody transfer case shield; 18 x 8.5-inch bright machined aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires; unique grille with body-color surround and tinted chrome accents; body-color front and rear bumpers (rear bumper with corner steps); spray-on bedliner; auto-dimming inside rearview mirror; bright sill plates; All-Terrain-logo instrument cluster; and Jet Black / Spice Red interior trim combination (SLT model only). An All Terrain SLT Premium Package is available on SLT models and adds 20 x 9-inch aluminum wheels, Front and Rear Park Assist, a heated steering wheel, a power sliding rear window with defogger and six-inch rectangular assist steps.
Power for the Sierra All-Terrain pickup truck is generated by a 5.3L V-8 engine joined to a Hydra-Matic 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission.
Inside the passenger cabin, a carbon fiber-inspired theme distinguishes the All Terrain from other models and includes the ALL TERRAIN logo on the instrument cluster. A rearview camera system also is standard. The All Terrain also includes the latest connectivity technology, including IntelliLink and new OnStar with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Enhanced features for IntelliLink include Text Messaging Alerts for smartphone users with Bluetooth profile (M.A.P.), which reads incoming texts through the vehicle’s speakers, and Siri Eyes Free for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7 users to enhance connectivity and convenience.
OnStar with 4G LTE connection provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial.
