GMC Announces 2019 Sierra Elevation

GMC are continuing with the launch of the next-generation Sierra lineup by announcing the new 2019 Sierra Elevation. The Elevation gives us our first look at the double cab, which is basically typical extended cab with doors that open the right way, which is what the Elevation is offered in. The truck is available in two or four-wheel drive and although they didn’t say that it will be exclusively offered in Double Cab, there was no mention of any other configurations in the release. The Elevation sets itself apart from other Sierra models by featuring monochromatic door handles, bumpers and grille surrounds. Black exterior accents are featured throughout including in the grille insert, tow hooks, side window trim and standard 20-in. aluminum wheels. New high-intensity LED headlamps incorporate C-shaped “light blade” signature lighting elements, LED fog lamps, and C-shaped LED elements in the taillights are also standard. The truck features the Traction Select System at the twist of dial which allows the driver to choose from preset modes designed for distinct purposes or conditions. These modes adjust transmission shift points, throttle mapping and other systems to best suit the situation the driver is currently in. The Sierra Elevation is also available with the X31 Off-Road package which includes unique suspension tuning with Rancho shocks, locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control, protective underbody skid plates, dual exhaust system and Auto Trac with low range gearing all topped off with all-terrain tires. The Sierra Elevation is available with a number of new engine and transmission configurations that deliver the perfect blend of power and capability including the all-new 2.7L turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Also available starting in 2019, the Sierra Elevation will be available with the also-new 3.0L turbo diesel inline-six-cylinder engine. The 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation will arrive in showrooms later this year.
