TRANSMISSIONS Yukon, Sierra

-ton and Heavy Duty

models and select Savana models feature an electronically

controlled 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive

and Tow/Haul mode. New for 2015, Sierra

-ton models with

the 6.2L V-8 and Yukon Denali feature a Hydra-Matic

8-speed automatic. Sierra Heavy Duty models with the

Duramax 6.6L V-8 Turbo Diesel use an Allison 6-speed

transmission with engine grade braking and Tow/Haul mode.

TOW/HAUL MODE An innovative Tow/Haul mode gives

automatic transmissions on select models a dual-mode

shift program. This feature raises upshift points to use

more of the engine’s power for strong acceleration and raises

downshift points to help slow your truck using engine braking.

RANGE SELECTION MODE To enable this feature, move

the column shift lever to the “M” position. The current range

will appear next to the “M,” indicating the highest attainable

range with all lower gears accessible. For instance, when

4th gear is selected, 1st through 4th gears are available. By

using the +/– button located on the column shift lever, the

driver can select the range of gears desired for the current

driving conditions. This feature also allows drivers to

control engine and vehicle speed while going downhill by

enabling the selection of the preferred range. While using

the Range Selection feature, cruise control and Tow/Haul

mode are available. This feature is standard on all Yukon,

Sierra and Savana models.

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL Standard on many GMC

models, this system works with StabiliTrak to minimize

trailer sway by applying vehicle and/or trailer brakes.

HIGH-QUALITY HEADLAMPS GMC vehicle headlamps

are designed to provide the strong low- and high-beam

output needed for confident driving at night and during

inclement weather conditions.

TRAILERING MIRRORS Trailering presents a visual

challenge; that’s why GMC offers an array of specialized

mirrors to assist the driver. See your dealer to learn about

all of your options.

“SMART” EXHAUST BRAKING POWER The diesel

exhaust brake is an innovative standard feature for Duramax

models. Unlike the traditional “on/off” diesel exhaust

brakes, the driver-selectable “smart” brake varies negative

torque needed based on the truck load and grade. This helps

reduce brake fade, extends brake life and gives drivers

plenty of confidence when hauling heavy loads downhill.

HILL START ASSIST Sensors automatically detect when

your GMC vehicle is on a 5 percent grade or more. It holds

the brakes momentarily or until the accelerator is pressed,

preventing rollback. It’s most effective when trailering, providing

time to switch from the brake to the accelerator without

rolling. This peace of mind is standard on many GMC models.

INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER Select Sierra pickups

and Yukon models offer an optional trailer brake controller.

It’s completely integrated within the vehicle’s electrical

system and its antilock braking system. It allows your trailer’s

brakes to operate simultaneously with the vehicle’s brakes.

REAR VISION CAMERA SYSTEM Make it easier to back

up to a trailer or negotiate a tight space. This standard

system (available on Sierra and Savana) displays a view of

the area behind the vehicle to help when hitching a trailer.

The Rear Vision Camera System does not replace driver

vision. Please use proper care when backing up.

GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) This is the

weight in pounds each axle is capable of supporting. The

load on each axle must not exceed its GAWR. The GAWR for each

GMC vehicle is displayed on the driver’s door or door-lock

pillar label.

GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATING (GCWR) This

is the maximum allowable weight, expressed in pounds, of

the vehicle and trailer combination, including the weight of

the driver, passengers, fuel, optional equipment and gear in

the vehicle.

GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT The weight of a loaded trailer.

TRAILER WEIGHT RATING The trailer weight rating for

any vehicle is determined by subtracting vehicle weight from

GCWR. At the trailer weight rating for a properly equipped

vehicle, you should be able to accelerate and merge with

traffic, climb typical interstate grades at highway speeds,

have control on varying road surfaces and stop adequately

within a reasonable distance.

GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) This

number, in pounds, is the maximum amount a tow vehicle

may weigh. Everything that contributes to the weight of the

tow vehicle is featured in this rating, including the weight of

the vehicle, driver and all passengers, fuel, payload, tongue

load of the trailer, weight of hitch and all optional

equipment. The GVWR is displayed on the driver’s door or

door-lock pillar label of your GMC vehicle.

TONGUE (OR HITCH) WEIGHT The tongue weight is the

total amount of trailer weight that is pressing down on the

trailer hitch. Keep in mind that the way a trailer is loaded

affects the overall tongue weight and will also affect the

handling of the tow vehicle when trailering.
