2019 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT: Professional Grade Power for the Wabash Valley
Imagine starting your morning as the mist rises off the Wabash River in Montezuma, IN. You need a truck that handles the damp riverside soil just as easily as it cruises the highway. This 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT is designed for the person who demands a professional-grade tool for both the job site and the homestead. Whether you are hauling supplies for a weekend project in Rosedale, IN or navigating the rural routes that connect our local farming communities, this Summit White Crew Cab provides the stature and capability required for life in west-central Indiana.
Performance & Capability Built for the Heartland
Under the hood of this Sierra 1500 SLT sits the formidable 8 Cylinder Engine, specifically the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8. This powerplant is engineered with Dynamic Fuel Management, an advanced system that allows the engine to operate in 17 different patterns between 2 and 8 cylinders to optimize power delivery and efficiency based on your current load. Paired with an 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC, ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED transmission, the gear shifts are smooth and precise, whether you are accelerating onto the state road or navigating a gravel drive.
The Four Wheel Drive system features an electronic Autotrac with push button control, allowing you to adapt to changing Indiana weather at a moment's notice. To ensure longevity and reliability during heavy use, this truck is equipped with an external engine oil cooler and an auxiliary external transmission oil cooler. The heavy-duty locking rear differential provides additional traction when the terrain gets soft, while the fully-boxed frame with a hydroformed front section offers the structural integrity you expect from a GMC. For those cold winter mornings, the heavy-duty 730 cold-cranking amp battery ensures a reliable start every time.
Integrated Technology for the Modern Driver
Staying connected while traveling between Rockville, IN and the surrounding areas is seamless thanks to the integrated technology suite in this SLT trim. The GMC 4G LTE and available built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability allows you and your passengers to stay online, supporting up to seven devices. Drivers will appreciate the 4.2 inch diagonal color display located within the instrument cluster, which provides essential vehicle data and driver personalization at a glance.
Managing your media is simple with the Steering wheel audio controls, allowing you to adjust the 6-speaker system without taking your eyes off the road. This Sierra also features GMC Connected Access, providing 10 years of standard connectivity for services like Vehicle Diagnostics and Dealer Maintenance Notification. Multiple USB ports are located throughout the cabin to keep your devices charged, while the Exterior Temperature Display keeps you informed of changing conditions during your commute.
Premium Comfort and Interior Versatility
The interior of this Sierra is finished in a sophisticated Dark Walnut/Slate color palette, offering a refined atmosphere that doesn't sacrifice utility. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy 10-way power seat adjusters including lumbar support, ensuring comfort during long hauls across the county. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control allow both the driver and passenger to set their preferred environments.
Utility is baked into the cabin design with the Up-level Rear with Storage Package, featuring seatback storage on the left and right side and full cab width under-seat storage. This is the perfect place to tuck away tools or outdoor gear. The 60/40 folding bench seat in the rear provides flexibility for carrying larger items inside the cab. Convenience features abound, including a Remote vehicle starter system for those frosty Indiana mornings and a 120-volt power outlet on the instrument panel to keep your laptop or small tools powered up.
Safety and Trailering Confidence
Safety is a top priority, and this Sierra is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protection features. The cabin is protected by dual-stage frontal airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and head-curtain airbags for all outboard seating positions. For those with younger drivers in the household, the Teen Driver mode is a configurable feature that allows you to limit certain vehicle features and provides an in-vehicle report card to encourage safe driving habits.
When it comes to hauling, the ProGrade Trailering System provides peace of mind. It includes Hitch Guidance with hitch view, which uses a camera image to help you line up your hitch with ease. The In-vehicle Trailering App provides a checklist and trailer maintenance reminders, while the integrated trailer brake controller gives you precise command over your load. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Alert even helps you maintain the correct pressure in your truck's tires for maximum safety and efficiency.
Exterior Design and Functional Utility
The Summit White exterior of the Sierra 1500 SLT is accented by a striking Grille with Chrome surround and high gloss Black mesh. This truck is as functional as it is handsome, featuring the GMC MultiPro Tailgate with six functional load and access features, making it easier than ever to load the bed or reach your cargo. The rear chrome bumper includes CornerSteps, providing easy access to the pickup bed even when the tailgate is up.
Visibility is enhanced by LED signature taillights, LED stop and reverse lights, and Fog lamps for navigating through morning river fog. The cargo area is highly functional, featuring 12 cargo tie downs rated at 500 lbs per corner and LED Cargo Area Lighting to help you work after the sun goes down. Wheelhouse liners protect the rear arches from debris, while the deep-tinted glass provides privacy and reduces heat buildup in the cabin during the summer months.
