By Chris Bruce, Autoblog.com - Carbon fibre is known for its properties of combining amazing strength with extremely low weight, and its frequest use in high performance vehicles gives the material a somewhat aggressive air. GMC is hoping to play on some of that mean reputation with its upcoming trio of Sierra Carbon Editions. However, despite their name, there's no actual carbon making its way onto these trucks (at least in the form of CF). Instead, the special edition is a graphics package with some extra equipment thrown in.
All three specials are based on the 2015 Sierra 1500 and can be ordered in two- or four-wheel drive configuration and with the standard 4.3-litre V6 or optional 5.3-litre V8. Things kick off with the standard Sierra Carbon Edition for US$33,075, including destination, available only on the double cab body (no Canadian pricing or availability has yet been released). Buyers get a black grille, carbon fibre decals on the hood and tailgate and body color trim for the door handles and mirror caps. The edition also adds keyless entry, a 110-volt outlet and LED cargo box lighting.
Buyers wanting just a touch more style can opt for the Carbon 20 Edition on the SLE double cab that gets the same exterior tweaks, plus 20-inch aluminum wheels, and retails for US$38,275. Finally, there is the Carbon 22 Edition starting at US$42,270 on the SLE in double- or crew cab models. It adds further black 22-inch wheels, tubular side steps, fog lights, keyless start, a universal home remote, dual-zone climate control and 110-volt outlet. (CAD pricing to follow.)
If you feel like the faux carbon fibre look is worth it, the double cab models are available for order now, and crew cab variants can be reserved in early October. Deliveries of both are expected later this fall.
