GM's introduction to the alternative fuel market delivered a large boost in the cast of vehicles available in late 2013. The 2015 GMC Sierra Bi-Fuel model offers an eco-friendly option in a large package. The cost-saving features of alternative fuel make this heavy-duty pickup a strong option for towing or hauling.

Performance & Fuel Options
The 2015 GMC Sierra offers a 360 horsepower 6-liter engine for maximum power. The engine features almost 40 horsepower gain over the standard V-8 models. The differentiating factor is the flexibility of fuel. The duel-fuel GMC Sierra can use compressed natural gas (CNG) in combination with gasoline as a fuel source. The range on fuel is also consistent and impressive. The 2500HD models will have a total range of up to 650 miles. This is the highest in the industry of trucks that have a bi-fuel option.

The impressive engine also provides a quiet ride that feels luxurious. Over 380 pounds of torque make this vehicle impressive in hauling over 4,000 pounds in the rear at the base 2500HD. The commercial 3500HD cab has an impressive hauling capacity of almost 7,500 ...
... pounds with the option of a factory towing hitch to tow even more.

The large grill surface in the front is aesthetically pleasing and helps to cool the powertrain and components under the hood, particularly during hauling.

Key Features
The styling and chassis is similar to the Chevy Silverado HD and offers an upgraded Allison transmission. The GMC Sierra really shines in the combination of appointments in the interior and trim. The Denali offers a luxurious upgrade from the base package. Rear skid plates protect the truck from seasonal or off-road damage. The four-door vehicle is appointed with a standard telescopic and heated steering wheel. An integrated navigation system and optional entertainment system with seven speakers makes the cockpit feel more like a gateway than driver's seat. An optional moonroof completes a luxury package that can offer high visibility in the front seats.

The 2015 lineup features a total of 4 models:

• BASE $31,565

• SLE $36, 985

• SLT $43, 555

• Denali $50,540

The base model can upgrade to most options that are available to the Denali. The SLE and SLT feature upgraded convenience features such as remote keyless entry and an emergency communication system with garage door transmitter. All of the truck models also feature the option for a bed and cab configuration in several styles. An extended cab, long-bed, and crew cab can be added to the two or 4-wheel drive configuration.

The GMC Sierra Bi-Fuel truck has safety covered as well. A front parking sensor with parking assist is available with all models. The forward collision alert uses a camera to create a warning on leaving a lane or closing in to quickly with a vehicle.

Natural Gas Benefits as a Change Factor in Vehicles
Purchasing a bi-fuel vehicle that accepts natural gas makes for a very adaptable transporter. It reduces the cost at the pump as well as an alternative to reduce the dependence on foreign oil. The bi-fuel vehicle trumps many of the cons of a natural gas vehicle (NGV) due to the flexibility to choose a fuel source. The benefit of having a home source of natural gas to fuel a vehicle is reduced trips to a gas station and the ability to source fuel directly to lower prices. The reduced trip mileage doesn't stop at home. Many vehicles that use natural gas can use a HOV lane in some states.

The bi-fuel option is a conversion process that is added to the GMC Sierra HD line of trucks before being sent to the dealership. It is becoming a popular option that offers 3-year, 36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. The powertrain includes a 100,000 mile warranty that follows the trend with all other models.
