Sierra gets better connectivity PRESS RELEASE
After a complete redesign in 2014 that helped it earn a Consumers Guide Automotive Best Buy award and Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own award, the Sierra 1500 adds an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission to its powertrain roster, enhancing efficiency and refinement while maintaining capability. It’s included on models equipped with the EcoTec3 6.2L V-8 engine Sierra’s new eight-speed automatic helps the pickup retain its 12,000-pound maximum trailering rating under newly adapted SAE J2807 Recommended Practices. Additionally, the entire lineup is available with a number of features engineered for serious towing. The Sierra also enters 2015 with technologies that

door seals to reduce wind noise and turbulence, helping quiet the cab. When it comes to ergonomics, Sierra’s wide rear crew cab doors make it easier to get in and out of the truck.
EXTERIOR
INTERIOR
Sierra’s exterior design is refined and aerodynamic, helping reduce wind noise in the cabin and enhancing efficiency on the highway. Inlaid doors fit into body sides rather than wrapping over the roof and combine with triple
The Sierra’s interior is roomy, quiet and functional, with a strong cab structure the foundation for its refinement. Nearly two-thirds of the cab is made of high-strength steel, while shear-style body mounts are used to tune out both
up-and-down and side-to-side movement for a quiet, comfortable ride. Double and crew cab models have a set of hydraulic body mounts to further isolate the cabs.
TECHNOLOGY
The 2015 GMC Sierra’s next-generation IntelliLink infotainment system is also highly customizable and capable of linking up to 10 devices such as smartphones, SD cards and MP3 players. Features include a new Text Messaging Alerts feature for
POWER
The Sierra’s trio of EcoTec3 engines – a 4.3L V-6, 5.3L V-8 and 6.2L V-8 – is designed to balance confident performance with efficiency. Each features direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing to make the most of power, torque and efficiency across a broad range of operating conditions.
An advanced combustion system maximizes the potential of the direct fuel injection system, cylinder deactivation, continuously variable valve timing and other technologies.

The Connected Car
f any single trend could define what’s happening in the car world right now, it’s the continued integration of vehicles and consumer electronics.
With each passing year, cars are becoming more like smartphones and computers. From bigger, more full-featured digital displays to new ways to bring information and entertainment into the cabin, today’s cars are more connected than ever before.
WEATHER, TRAFFIC
As wireless data becomes more commonplace, so does the ability for your car to use that data to make your life easier. Some new cars — particularly those from luxury brands — use real-time traffic data in their
navigation systems to automatically re-route you to avoid congested roads. A few use weather data to let you know about hazardous travel conditions ahead.
PHONE FEATURES
One of the most common features on new cars — even many bargain-priced models — is the ability to link with your cell phone to make calls, play music and often access your contact list. Using either a wired USB connection or a wireless Bluetooth connection, most cars have some way of working with your smartphone to communicate. Some will even read your text messages through the speakers, operate via voice control and let you control your phone using buttons on the steering wheel.
APPS
Another trend is the extensive use of apps, both in the car and through your phone. Many cars can run a limited number apps through the car’s digital display. Streaming digital music through Pandora is one of the more widespread examples. Some car companies are developing their own smartphone apps, too, that let you interact with your car through your phone. They might remind you when your car needs service, for example, or even be able to unlock your doors remotely. This is cutting-edge technology, so it varies widely between each vehicle and manufacturer. It’s by no means standardized yet.

Kids might prefer juice or milk, but water is good for them and less hazardous to your car seats. Stay green (and save money) by refilling bottles at rest stop water fountains.

messy. For example, opt for tiny sweet, easy-to-peel-and-eat Clementine oranges rather than the big, juicy hard-to-peel navel oranges. Or freeze sweet seedless grapes. They will help keep the cooler cool and taste like little popsicles to kids. Bananas are another good, less messy choice. But be sure to toss the peels at the next stop. Learn from my mistake: After a two-hour hike through the South Dakota Badlands in August, you won’t want to get back in a car filled with the smell of banana peels that have been rotting in the hot sun. For more substantial hunger, pack a bag with bread, jam,

Plug the CD, cassette or your iPod into the car stereo and listen together. Even tweens and teens can be enticed to take out their ear buds and join the fun if everyone else is laughing to the antics of the “Sideways School” stories or debating a plot point in a Harry Potter book. Get kids involved in road trip route planning — and teach your tech-obsessed teens how to navigate without GPS — by encouraging them to follow along on a paper map. Buy laminated maps for younger kids who tend to have sticky fingers. The toughest part of a road trip for kids, especially for kids young enough to
need a car seat, is the forced stillness. Stopping every two hours to let kids (and adults) stretch and move is important. But you can get everyone moving during those two-hour stretches of driving as well. Try a rousing game of head, shoulders, knees and toes. As the song name implies, you first touch your head, then shoulders, then knees, then toes. To make it more fun, speed up the pace. Or give each person a turn singing the song — in any order they choose. For examples, try toes, stomach, nose and head.
