February 16, 2022 What has the rugged capability to take on mud, dirt, sand, rocks and more and yet not forfeit style and sophistication: That would be the new 2022 Sierra 1500 AT4X. The only pickup in its class to have front and rear e-locking differentials, which will send power where you need it most in low traction scenarios like mud, gravel or sand. The lockers will also help give control when ascending or descending steep inclines.

Taking on the most punishing terrain means mitigating potential damage. That’s why the Sierra AT4X has underbody skid plates and a large steel transfer case skid plate to help protect underbody components. The available rock sliders will help shield the truck’s sills and frame rails.

Meanwhile, the new Multimatic™ DSSV shocks and dampers deliver premium performance, control and comfort even while going off road for extended periods. The Multimatic dampers feature three separate spool valves to control damping for an exceptional ride experience even during the longest of adventures in the harshest of environments. In addition, the Sierra AT4X’s off-road ride experience benefits from an increased suspension travel that helps dampen the effects of rough terrain.

Under the hood GMC equipped this pickup with a 6.2L V8 with 420 hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2-speed transfer case, meanwhile, has selectable modes for multiple off-road scenarios. For example, Off-Road Mode helps give momentum in low tractions situations like gravel or mud. And Terrain Mode in 4-LO enables one-pedal driving for low-speed, off-road technical scenarios to help give greater control when taking on rugged environments.

With Sierra AT4X, GMC kept in mind how customers use trucks. This balanced execution delivers advanced off-road capability when called upon without compromising the on-road comfort, technology, towing and payload capability truck owners expect from a premium pickup. Which proves that the Sierra AT4X was not built for just driving through the woods or weekend adventures. As much fun as these things can be the rugged good looks fit for whatever the occasion demands.

For example, the audio experience has also been elevated to provide a more perfect way to hear the soundtrack for any outdoor adventure. The 12-speaker Bose Premium Series with CenterPoint includes AudioPilot Noise Compensation technology and Richbass subwoofer. And to enjoy audio outside of the cabin, the standard 6-function MultiPro Tailgate includes the MultiPro Audio System from KICKER®

There’s more. A lot more for you to explore and enjoy. Contact us for all the details and availability.

Have you ever looked at something and marveled at its design and thought, that’s a good idea? We all have, and it seems to be happening more every day. Smart design does not just happen and neither did the 2021 Buick Encore GX. This five-person SUV has been innovated, crafted and engineered to fit the way your life moves. The stylish lines, nimble handling, intelligent technology and the peace and quiet of a Buick all work together to make life easier.
The 2021 Buick Encore GX is lower, wider and longer than other version of this popular SUV. Which means more shoulder room, more hip room and a wonderful center armrest which tops a cavernous storage space. Don’t you just love practical engineering?!
Let me tell you a secret. Some 2021 Buick Encore GX models can carry six persons. Yes, they can. Providing that one of those “persons” is named Alexa. Okay, technically, Alexa is a Built-In functionality on select Encore GX models, and part of the Buick Infotainment System. Which is exactly where she belongs. Very considerate of her by not taking up any space.
One thing Alexa will never do is cry, “Shot Gun,” when the car starts. Alexa will not keep asking you, “Are we there yet?”, and not because she doesn’t care, but because like you and your passengers, she is just enjoying the ride. What Alexa can do is obey your voice commands to connect to your favorite music service or podcast, or get directions, make calls, check your calendar, tell you a joke, add items to your Whole Foods shopping cart and a lot more.
Isn’t it amazing what you can do while driving a Buick Encore GX? Busy lives can become so much easier and productive when you drive a vehicle loaded with good ideas. In fact, visiting our showroom would be a very good idea should you want to see the Encore GX for yourself.

The Hummer is coming back and will be in showrooms next year, but you can order yours starting this Fall. The new Hummer will not be a running on fossil fuels but rather electricity. Yes, the new Hummer will be an all-electric vehicle. The Hummer EV will be as 2022 model, have 1,000-hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, do 0-60 in about 3 seconds. It will be a Hummer sport truck. We are talking about a Hummer EV Sport Utility Truck.

GM is going big on electrification and the GMC Hummer EV is about as big as it gets. With an equal commitment to quality and performance the 2022 Hummer EV is something special. What makes this all possible is a driveline and power system called Ultium. The All-New 2022 Hummer has an Ultium Propulsion System and joins the GMC Professional Grade lineup. This speaks to how the Hummer EV will share construction principles with other GMC vehicles and not be a stand-alone odd ball. Again, proof that GM is in this for the long haul.
The Ultium Propulsion System is the product of the GM Propulsion Systems Research Lab. The 2022 Hummer EV started with a clean sheet of paper as far as the drive unit and the battery. The Ultium name covers the battery, the electric systems, and the motors. Designing the whole thing together makes the system more flexible.

It all comes down to coming up with a great battery cell and turning that cell into part of a great battery with a great propulsion system. The battery chemistry is Nickel Cobalt Manganese Aluminum. The net result is 70 percent less cobalt. GM’s ability to stack more, or less cell modules into the battery pack is at least one factor in making propulsion, at this level, possible. Stacking modules horizontally or vertically, depending on the type of vehicle, also contribute to efficient design. That is an oversimplification, but we are trying to keep the “wonk factor” under control.

The floor of the vehicle houses the battery pack which is an integral part of the Hummer’s structure. A structure designed by the Hummer structural team not the electronics team. Which is the best way to assure the battery cells are protected in a crash and it makes the vehicle stiffer.

The net result is a 2022 Hummer EV that you can drive for 300 miles before charging and perhaps as much 400 miles between charges. It is a new day as far a driving is concerned. You can be a part of the historic first run this fall.
