Active Steering Assist power steering is new on some double cab and crew cab models of the 2016 GMC Sierra HD pickup truck line. The feature helps make hauling and trailering easier, with electronic controls that enhance road holding and stability on the highway with greater responsiveness and an improved steering feel regardless of whether the truck is loaded or not.
Gas and Duramax diesel powertrains are offered across the lineup, including a bi-fuel option that allows the gas engine to run on compressed natural gas.
A new Gooseneck/5th Wheel Trailering Prep Package makes Sierra HD models ready right from the factory to tow larger trailers. It’s available in the first quarter of 2016 for Duramax-equipped models and features a frame-mounted hitch platform and tray that accommodates a gooseneck ball hitch or fifth-wheel hitch-mounting brackets, and includes a cargo bed-mounted trailer harness. A new Gooseneck Completion Kit will also be available from GMC dealers, featuring a 2-5/16-inch ball hitch and two chain tie-downs.
