The striking Sierra Elevation Edition returns for 2016 with the styling enhancements and other features new to the entire Sierra 1500 lineup - including revised front-end styling with new, GMC Signature LED lighting and HID projector-beam headlamps.

The Elevation Edition - available on the Sierra 1500 double cab - has a street-smart stance, thanks to body-color bumpers, mirror caps and a body-color grille surround, door handles, as well as body-color moldings. The 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition is further enhanced with new Elevation Edition badging.

Inside Sierra Elevation Edition, the latest technology helps drivers stay connected at all times. A new radio with a 7-inch-diagonal screen incorporates Android Auto and Apple CarPlay phone integration capability, which gives drivers the ability to control music, send and receive messages, and make calls from the IntelliLink touchscreen. Additionally, OnStar 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot allow continuous connectivity for up to seven personal devices.

All Sierra Elevation Edition models include a six-speaker audio system, black recovery hooks, a 110-volt AC power outlet, outside heated power-adjustable mirrors, remote locking tailgate, remote keyless entry and more. The 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition is also equipped with 20" black-painted aluminum wheels.

A standard 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6 engine delivers 305 lb-ft of torque and 285 horsepower with a highway fuel economy of 24 mpg. An available 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8 offers up to a 9,400-pound trailering capacity (2WD) and produces 355 horsepower. Customers can choose two- or four-wheel drive and the Eaton locking rear differential is standard with both.

XM Radio, trailering equipment, a Rear Vision camera system, and All-terrain tires are available on all models.
