Taking naturally to off-road trails, slippery roads, and snow with its available 4×4 system, this pickup is ready for challenges and offers options like an off-road suspension system, a two-speed Autotrac transfer case, and selectable front and rear full-locking differentials, depending on the trim level.
Select trims also provide extra ground clearance with a two-inch factory-installed lift, making an easy task out of rocky terrains, as well as underbody skid plates and Rancho monotube shocks for enhanced ruggedness and handling.
A Stylish and Work-Ready Design
Stylish outside, this truck offers standout highlights like Titanium Rush Metallic, Cardinal Red, and Woodland Green among its 13 different paint color options, and every model has a distinctive, bold-looking grille, like the Vader Chrome one on Denali Ultimate models and the Gloss Black one on Elevation models.
Work is made easier with the available MultiPro Tailgate and CarbonPro composite bed, the latter of which offers best-in-class short bed cargo volume and has three tie-downs in each corner for cargo.

Along with a standard 60/40 split-folding seat in two-row models, this edition has 16-way power-adjustable front bucket seats with heating, ventilation, and massage in upper trims and a split-folding front bench seat in lower trims.
Both front and rear underseat storage areas are available, depending on the trim and cab size, and both Denali and Denali Ultimate trims feature heated rear seats as well. Every model also has power windows with rear express-down, climate control, and a compass.
Convenient Tech Throughout
