US: GMC highlights updates of 2016 Sierra HD - INAUTONEWS
GM counts on the GMC truck brand to deliver many of its pickup customers, so the 2016 model year Sierra had a set of enhancements to make it competitive against the crop of major rivals from Ford and Ram. There were no modifications under the hood, where the model got the same 4. 3-liter V6 with 285 bhp & 305 lb-ft, the 5. 3-liter V8 churning 355 bhp & 383 lb-ft (518 Nm) and the flagship 6. 2-liter V8 that has 420 bhp & 460 lb-ft. Certain Double Cab and Crew Cab versions will have the Active Steering Assist power steering for more precise and easy steering when hauling or trailering. They also gain new electronic controls that take into account the truck’s loading state for enhanced road handling and stability. Starting with the first quarter of next year, clients may order the new Gooseneck/5th Wheel Trailering Prep Package. On the comfort side, there’s the GMC IntelliLink system making use of a seven-inch capacitive touchscreen thanks to the inproved processor and the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems.
