- Forward Collision Alert: The available system monitors traffic ahead and provides visual and audible warnings when a potential front-end collision is detected, giving you precious extra seconds to react and avoid danger.
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: This technology helps prevent unintentional lane drift by providing gentle steering corrections and alerts when the system detects you’re leaving your lane without signaling, enhancing highway safety.
- Rear Vision Camera: The standard camera provides a clear view of the area behind your truck when reversing, making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces significantly easier and safer.

Built for work and recreation, this GMC truck offers an impressive maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs. when properly equipped, allowing you to confidently haul boats, campers, and utility trailers.
