The factory-installed Diesel After-Run feature is designed to help cool down the engine following heavy usage.

Some of the features of this truck to help with towing and payload:

• To help with positioning, after backing up to a trailer hitch using available Hitch View, Sierra Heavy Duty will automatically apply the electric parking brake upon shifting into park to avoid unintentional rolling.
• Prevents movement when shifting out of park on a hill and moving a foot from brake to accelerator pedal by automatically applying brakes at each wheel for an extended period of time while trailering.
• Eases driver’s steering effort when maneuvering at low speeds, reduces the steering effort needed to return the heavy-duty truck to center, and adapts to crowned road surfaces, reducing the need to correct steering over long stretches of uneven road. It includes new enhancements to help with driving response, especially when trailering or when carrying a heavy load.
• Sierra is the first heavy-duty truck in its class to offer a 2-speed AutoTrac™ transfer case with an active automatic 4WD setting, which provides seamless shifting between two- and four-wheel drive based on road conditions.
• Allows you to quickly switch between multiple traction configurations, including Off-Road mode and Tow/Haul mode, to optimize powertrain calibrations, traction control settings and stability control system calibrations for a variety of terrain and driving conditions. The system will retain the Tow/Haul setting configurations for up to 4 hours after the vehicle is turned off, eliminating the need to reengage the system when returning from a brief stop on a long journey.
