GMC Sierra's bold new outside properties one of three allnew EcoTec3 engines, a completely updated cottage with accessible nextgeneration IntelliLink connectivity as well as other features created for the most discerning truck owners.

"Our engineers and designers left nothing to the table when creating this latest Sierra pick-up," stated Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Advertising. "These trucks have all the energy and capacity that is expected in today's marketplace, exceptional fuel efficiency, plus lots of sudden, purposeful attributes created with truck owners in mind."

Besides allnew design and engineering, the 2014 Sierra boasts the longest list of standard attributes ever to get a fullsize GMC pick-up. From connectivity options, into a typical tiedown program in the back, for the section's just regular projector beam headlamps, several superior features are located on every single allnew Sierra.

GMC Sierra's engine portfolio is updated for 2014 with the aim of increased in strength, torque and fuel efficiency on the other side of the board. There is going to be a 4.3L V-6, a 5.3L V-8 as well as a 6.2L V-8 provided, all from a common EcoTec3 engine family. Each motor features conventional direct injection, Active Gas Management and continuously variable valve timing, meaning they seamlessly change to run on four cylinders during driving to conserve fuel.

The higher strength and efficiency of the brand new engines will be the outcome of more than ten million hours of advanced computer modeling, more than half of which were accustomed to create the best of the combustion process.

The newest 4.3L V-6 EcoTec3 motor offer enhanced torque and towing capability for that six in 10 truck owners who tow.

"Rather than adapting a V-6 intended to be used in passenger vehicles, we constructed a brand new engine in the ground up based in the special needs of the truck," stated Jordan Lee, powertrain chief engineer.

Now's GMC Sierra provides the greatest V-8 gas economy in the business and also the newest 5.3L EcoTec3 motor attributes critical upgrades meant to generate it even better. The accessible 6.2L V-8 EcoTec3 is designed to supply excellent ability.

Using the brand new engine designs and additional developments, clients should anticipate GMC Sierra's secondgeneration Active Gas Management to become more seamless and effective at functioning longer in fourcylinder style.

A "cruise level braking" attribute downshifts the transmission on downgrades, that is meant to decrease brake wear. V-8 versions use new, bigger 9.5- and 9.76-inch rear axles with all the power to adapt the engines' higher result. Ultimate power and torque ratings will probably be announced after.

Powerful brakes are significant for stopping trucks, if they are filled with people, payload or both. The 2014 Sierra functions fourwheel disc brakes with Duralife brake rotors, which feature a strengthened and hardened area to lessen corrosion.

Electric power steering is also used by the 2014 Sierra. An electrical motor instead of an enginedriven hydraulic pump saves gas and allows for tuning that is anticipated to bring about a far more consistent, sharp steering feel and loads of aid for parking maneuvers.

Superior components, attention to detail and purposeful technologies explain GMC Sierra's allnew cottage. New softtouch substances and available aluminum trim line an inside that is dedicated to productive and usable area.

"They need a purposeful inside, not one that is flowing like you had see in an automobile or crossover."

Sierra features an upright instrument panel created for availability and visibility. Knobs and buttons are big, legible and at your fingertips. All knobs are coated with a rubberover-form technologies, so they are simple to grasp even through gloves.

A fresh instrument cluster on all versions features six gauges with an accessible located, 4.2inch color Driver Information Center with vehicle position information, a trip computer, along with other information, like radio and navigation.

All of GMC Sierra's doors has storage created to carry most beverage containers and other private things.

Sierra is accessible using a 110volt outlet, around four 12volt shops, five USB ports and an SD card slot.

"Sierra sets a brand new standard for what is asked of the pickup truck inside," stated DiSalle. The blend of comfort, security, space and technologies is unprecedented within the section."

Available IntelliLink connectivity uses an available highdefinition, completely reconfigurable eightinch colour touchscreen with a simple and intuitive layout - toread icons that control sound functions, a Pandora application, Bluetooth mobile functions, and available navigation with allnew map screens. Most of the system's characteristics could be controlled by voice command, enabling the driver to help keep eyes to the street and hands to the wheel.

GMC Sierra's seats use double-density foam made to remain comfy over long hours and keep to appear great after years useful. Leather and fabric will probably be provided, and Sierra's new highwear fabric was created to go longer and resist staining. A beverage will bead in the cloth, not soak in. Heated seats are accessible with standard and fabric seats with leather.

For the very first time on Extended Cab versions, the 2014 Sierra has new fronthinged rear doors with exterior pull handles in the rear, offering improved accessibility in tight parking areas. Unlike trucks with rearhinged doors, Sierra's layout enables rear passengers to enter and leave the vehicle together with the front doors staying closed.

Crew Cab clients, who represent over 60% of retail GMC Sierra clients, can select between two bed lengths; besides the present 5-foot, 8-inch box, a different 6-foot, 6-inch box is available.

Cargo box improvements

Sierra's rear bumper features conventional corner measures which make climbing in the bed simple, no matter whether the tailgate is up or down. The measures are paired with grips formed to the top of each mattress side. They may be put in nine different places and may carry 500pound (227 kg) load. Reduced tailgate and the accessible EZ Lift uses an incorporated torsion bar and damper to facilitate lifting and lowering.

Driver Alert Technologies

In accordance with GM study, the seat's vibrations may direct motorist attention to the place of a possible crash more fast and precisely than perceptible alerts. Motorists have the choice of choosing either audible or vibrating alerts.

Quietness will not just come from variables within the cottage. The 2014 Sierra features new aerodynamic measures that help fuel efficiency and decrease wind noise. Updated mirrors that reduce wind turbulence, triplesealed inlaid doors, together with roof and tailgate style characteristics all aid air flow easily quietly through the GMC Sierra. Extra sealing round the headlamps, grille and space between the carton and cab are also made to reduce drag for the brand new trucks, together with new aerodynamic spats found in front of the rear wheels.

Upgrades to Sierra's body and chassis are made to enhance ride and handling, relaxation and ability. The fully boxed frame utilizes hydroforming and highstrength metal to supply rigidity and more strength with less weight. New cab buildings comprise highstrength steel in the A - pillars, B - rocker panels, roof rails and pillars, while ultra - highstrength steel sections of the rocker panels provide added safety for shallow counter crashes.

GMC Sierra's hood is aluminum, preserving about 17 pounds versus a similar steel hood. In the back, a box is lighter, stronger and more lasting when compared to a conventional stamped metal box.

The tires, alongside new shear-style and redesigned hydraulic cab mounts, are made to help decrease sound and vibration in the cottage.

"Pickups are not only something for GMC owners - they are part of their daily lives, and Sierra needs to be just as helpful on the way to the films because it's on the way to your work site," said DiSalle.

Attention to detail

GMC designers approached the outside of the 2014 Sierra with admiration because of its forerunners, evolving its familiar form while adding identifying details like accessible LED touch accent light, regular projector headlamps and comprehensive new grilles. All GMC Sierra designs have chrome grille surrounds and superior black wheel arch moldings. Various trim levels feature mirror caps, chrome belt moldings and door handles, together with exceptional wheel styles and grille details.
