Sierra 1500 Pro with Graphite Package or Elevation Might be for You

Purchasing a Pickup like the Sierra 1500 forces many decisions. Cab size, bed size, 2WD or 4WD, engine, axle ratio, and that is before you get into the different grades and packages. Of the grades, some are easy to figure out. The AT4 is for demanding off-road use. The Denali is the most posh model of the bunch. Most of the Sierra 1500s sold are in less specialized grades, however, with the many choices, it can be hard to determine which is the best. Valley Buick GMC would like to point to two models that appeal to a broad swath of our customers. 

Pro With Graphite Package

The Pro model is easy to understand. This one is the basic honest work truck of the model line. Sierra 1500 Pros can be found on worksites and in small business parking lots nationwide. The Graphite Package is for those whose work truck may also be their personal vehicle or for the business owner who wants his company well represented and employees happy. Available in Double or Crew Cab models, the Graphite Package enhances exterior looks with body-color front and rear bumpers and 20-inch 6-spoke High-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels.  Inside, the truck includes several niceties for those whose truck also becomes their workplace. 

• Remote Start – Enables you to start the Sierra and, most importantly, its climate control in advance so you can enter a comfortably warm or cooled vehicle. Perfect for anyone who is in and out of their truck frequently during the day. 
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – Also great for anyone who is constantly in and out of the truck so they don’t have to continually connect and disconnect their phone to have access to its navigation and communication apps in the truck.
• Wi-Fi® hotspot capable – Allows you to connect your laptop or other device to keep you working in the field.
• SiriusXM Radio – Perfect for anyone who spends plenty of time in their truck, particularly outside the broadcast range of major cities.
• GMC MultiPro Tailgate – this dramatically expands the truck bed’s versatility in various situations in the field.
• 3 Years of OnStar® and Connected Services Plan – In addition to the Wi-Fi capability, the plan includes access to the OnStar Guardian App3, Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services, Crisis Assist, Roadside Assistance, and Stolen Vehicle Assistance.

Additional useful features of this package include:

• Content theft alarm
• High-Capacity Suspension Package
• Recovery hooks on 2WD models

Elevation Grade Strikes an Ideal Balance

For a personal truck, you can go fancier or more off-road capable, but for many, the Elevation grade is an ideal balance of things one wants while still remaining affordable. The Elevation Grade also has several optional and package features, so you can add the items you wish to and forgo the ones you don’t. Key among these standard and available features are:

• 13.4 Infotainment screen – Provides a large, clear display of all information and touch controls.
• Available front bucket seats with center console – The Elevation is the first model in the hierarchy to offer this seat configuration
• Available Bose® Premium Audio system
• Sierra Safety Plus Package – The Elevation is also the least expensive grade to include this package of helpful safety and driver assistance features, including:
  • Rear Cross Traffic Braking
  • Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert – Extends the blind zone to match the trailer dimensions.
  • HD Surround Vision– Provides a 360 view of the vehicle as if seen from above.
  • Perimeter lighting
  • Rear Park Assist – Provides alerts to notify you of nearby detected vehicles and objects behind your vehicle.
  • Rear Pedestrian Alert – Help alert you to detect pedestrians directly behind your truck.

Because the packaging of these two trucks has such appeal to so many, Valley Buick GMC made sure we have plenty of them in inventory. If you are in the market for a truck for business or personal use, these models are an excellent place to start, so visit Valley Buick GMC and see which of our Sierra 1500s will work for you.
