Sierra AT4 Powers Up With New Off-Road Performance Package

 

DETROIT — Defining the premium off-road segment, the 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 is now available with the all-new Off-Road Performance Package. The Off-Road Performance Package adds factory-installed performance upgrades that bring additional power and purpose to the Sierra AT4.

“The 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 debuted all-new, purposeful technologies for the premium truck segment and the new Off-Road Performance Package takes it a step farther,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC. “It offers optimized performance, both on- and off-road.”

The Sierra AT4 Off-Road Performance Package includes:

·         6.2L V-8 engine mated to 10-speed automatic transmission.

·         18-inch machined aluminum wheels with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires.

·         Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System.

·         Performance Air Intake.

Thanks to these additions, the AT4 Off-Road Performance Package delivers up to 435 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque — increases of 15 horsepower and 9 lb-ft of torque over a Sierra equipped with a conventional 6.2L V-8 engine. The 6.2L is manufactured at GM’s Tonawanda engine plant in New York and was recently named a Wards 10 Best Engine for 2019.

Weigh Safe Drop Hitch Product Video

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is the one and only trailer hitch with a built-in scale that signals you to adjust your load before you hit the road, resulting in a much safer and enjoyable towing experience. Before this ball mount, gauging your trailer’s tongue weight was a hassle. You had to rely on inefficient bathroom scales, make a trip to the weigh station, or purchase a separate tongue weight scale. But with the Weigh Safe’s built-in scale, measuring your tongue weight is as easy as coupling your trailer to your ball mount. Simply hook-up your trailer to the Weigh Safe ball mount just as you would any other ball mount. The weight of your trailer will push down on the hitch ball, which in turn pushes down on an internal hydraulic piston that sits on a bed of oil. When the piston drops into the oil, the pressure reading is sent out to the scale.

COMING SOON - A New Way to Load and Unload Your Pickup - PowerLoader by MasterHaul

Coming in 2020

PowerLoader Loads and Unloads the Truck Automatically! 

Masterhaul is a new company with some new ideas of how to make far better use of a pickup truck or typical service body. The product offerings include the ability to make use of a wide range of optional modules that allow maximum use of a pickup truck bed or service body. Here are some of the features and how they can benefit your business.

The PowerLoader eliminates the need for additional resources required by existing truck mounted lift gate products.

• No need for workers to transfer heavy cargo from a liftgate into the truck bed.

• No need to purchase utility trailers to tow products that don’t fit on a liftgate, e.g. large power equipment, construction materials, pallets and many more.

• Enhanced Productivity– a quicker job site process equates to more jobs being completed per day, and more revenue being generated per week, per month, per year! A great ROI

•  Mobility – ability to take/deliver resources to work place without having to transfer and / or utilize another form of transport. Offload the truck in seconds when empty truck is needed 

•  Enhanced Safety – No human requirements for lifting or moving loads into the bed 

• Double + the load size capability – Load platform is same size as truck bed, NOT the tailgate

•  Optional and Unique Dump feature – Not offered by others

•  Optional conveyor belt feature – Automatically drops the load off at destination

•  Quick and easy to install - No drilling required

•  Switch & utilize for multiple trucks - Unlike Liftgates that are a permanent fixture once installed

•  Safer Weight Distribution v Liftgate: The PowerLoader allows easy positioning of the cargo forward in the cargo area. Cargo loaded by liftgates must be re-handled to move it forward. Improper cargo location may reduce steering and braking performance and increase rear axle system fatigue.

•  Remote Control– For all operational systems

•  Reduced Injuries caused by getting in and out of the truck bed

• ·         Slipping off the Liftgate
• ·         Injury by Falling Cargo
• ·         Being injured by Liftgate Mechanism

Tongue Weight Safety Demonstration

Proper trailer tongue weight improves the vehicle and trailer towing experience by improving performance. Not enough tongue weight or force on the hitch/tow ball causes an increase in trailer sway from side to side, making it difficult to control. Conversely, too much tongue weight or force on the hitch/tow ball could overload the rear tires of the towing vehicle, pushing the rear end of the vehicle around. This could also negatively affect the vehicle handling. Performance is impaired as you might not be able to go around corners and curves properly, and your vehicle may not stop quickly enough when you press the brake pedal. The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch effectively measures the tongue weight of your towing load, improving the vehicle tow load balance and performance.

The ideal distribution is to have 60% of the weight in front of the trailer axle, and 40% behind. Its also very important to make sure your cargo is secured properly. Always practice safe towing.
