Providing the power and efficiency are three engine options: the standard 5.3L V-8, the available 5.3L V-8 with eAssist and the 6.2L V-8 (the most V-8 horsepower in its class As always, Sierra SLT surrounds its premium cabin with chrome accents and bold wheels.

WE’VE REFINED THE TRUCK CABIN

Designing a premium truck environment in SLT that you actually want to spend time in means surrounding you with comfortable, supportive seats as well as luxurious materials. It also means that Crew Cabs offer spacious rear leg room, while Double Cabs feature forward-hinged rear doors to make getting into and out of the rear seat easier. You’ll also enjoy these SLT features.

THE BEST ROADS ARE THE ONES YOU CREATE

Keep going long after the pavement ends. Sierra All Terrain conquers challenging landscapes while helping to keep you in control. And no matter how rugged the going gets, its cabin is refined and comfortable.

Exclusive All Terrain Design To match its off-road capability, the new All Terrain

exterior features body-color door handles, bodyside molding, grille surround and bumpers, black mirror caps and beltline molding, thin-profile LED fog lamps and LED taillamps. The distinctive interior provides a supportive environment with carbonfiber-inspired accents, unique All Terrain leather-appointed seating with contrasting red stitching and special dark aluminum IP trim.

Off-Road Suspension Featuring monotube Rancho

suspension allows you to go beyond mere sightseeing to truly explore the great outdoors. Venturing off-pavement means encountering just about anything, so an underbody shield helps protect vital components under the truck.

AutoTrac 4WD Transfer Case This 2-speed 4WD system features both high- and

low-range settings and is ideal when traction conditions are variable. When driving in AUTO, the front axle is engaged and power is sent to the front and rear wheels automatically, based on the driving situation.
