We've been seeing it on the lot here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, and now the news media is figuring it out too: because of General Motors production shutdowns in March, April and May, we could soon be seeing a shortage of full-size trucks here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, and at a time when dealer incentives are giving us the ability to make the best deals in our history, too! With that potential shortage of full-size trucks looming, there's literally been no better time to buy a beautiful 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 than right now. If you wait, you could miss out. In a recent article titled "Coronavirus Could Make It Tougher to Find the Truck You Want" Detroit Free Press automotive writer Eric Lawrence talks to dealership owners, general managers and others who all agree that the combination of... more low production numbers in recent months and record-breaking dealership incentives could make it harder to find the full-size truck you want if you wait, with high-end models like the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 and Denali particularly hard to find. "A potential truck shortage might sound strange in the midst of a global health crisis, which has upended daily life for so many, caused economic uncertainty around the globe and dropped vehicle demand," Gilchrist writes. "But trucks have unique attributes when it comes to inventory. They also represent a dramatically growing and crucial piece of the automotive market in recent years. Each of the Detroit Three has seen pickup sales take a larger share of total sales in the last year... GM had a 23 percent increase, according to Jessica Caldwell, executive director of industry analysis at Edmunds." The Detroit Free Press is not alone in reporting on this collision between supply, demand and incredible incentives. The Wall Street Journal, Car and Driver and International News Agency Reuters have also noticed the trend and have written recent stories on the looming truck shortage. The biggest factor at play is that General Motors temporarily shuttered all production at North American plants in mid-March, including the plants in Indiana and Michigan where the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is produced. Between January and March, before the plants were shut down, production averaged just under 66,000 trucks per month. Those plants still haven't reopened completely, while other GM production plants have been turned to production of PPE and life-saving equipment. Even in the face of this unprecedented production shutdown, GMC is currently helping American buyers find their economic confidence again with historic manufacturer incentives, including zero-percent financing for up to eight full years for well-qualified buyers, plus no monthly payments for 120 days when financed through GM Financial. Those offers are valid on all GM models we sell at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, but they have caused a huge spike in demand for GMC trucks. That demand could cause McLarty Daniel GMC to have a shortage of trucks for the first time in our history, and at exactly the time when we're able to make our customers the best deals we've ever been able to offer. In a nutshell, what we're saying is: while we're confident any potential shortage of GMC Sierra 1500 trucks at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC won't last, neither will our ability to make you the best deal in the history of our dealership. Growing demand will eventually make prices on trucks rise, and General Motors can't sustain these incentives forever. So if you want to find the GMC Sierra that's perfect for you, don't miss out! Give us a call today, or check out our website right now to view our current inventory. As always, we look forward to serving you at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC!

Have you ever gone to one of those restaurants that actually has too much stuff on the menu? Not just three or four chicken dishes, but 20. Not just one or two different types of tacos, but 35. Having options for your money is great, but at a certain point, TOO MANY options can actually cloud your judgement. If that's the case with tacos and chicken cordon bleu, just imagine having too many options when trying to make one of the biggest purchases you'll make for years, which is your next truck! The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is a heck of a truck, and because GMC believes in making the truck fit the person instead of the other way around, there's plenty of... more options to choose from, including trim packages, engine options, 4x4 vs. 4x2, colors, interior options, technology and safety options and more. McLarty Daniel Buick GMC wants to help all our customers make the best buying decision when it comes to their new vehicle. Seen below, check out a few great questions to ask yourself when shopping for a new GMC Sierra 1500 truck. Don't see the burning question that's on your mind? We're happy to answer any and all! Just give us a call to set up a personal test drive, or check out our huge selection of GMC Sierra models on our website right now. 1) What's Your Budget?: Money makes the world go round, and not many of us are lucky enough to have an unlimited supply of it. With that in mind, before you start picking out your new Sierra, you need to think realistically about how much you can afford, taking into account not only the price and monthly payment, but other factors like insurance, financing, how many miles per year you drive and more. The good news is: the financing department at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC is always ready to help customers figure out exactly what they can spend on a new vehicle, and our sales staff is always ready to cut the sweet deals others won't or can't, which can get you more truck for your money. 2) Are You Going to Be Doing A Lot of Towing and Hauling?: No truck does towing better than the 2020 Sierra 1500, which is built from the ground up to be a workhorse no matter how fancy the trim or option package. That said, the question of whether you're going to be doing a lot of towing and hauling should figure into your decision when picking your Sierra. If you are, you might want to opt for a larger engine with more torque, or the all-new Duramax inline six turbo diesel. There's also a slew of standard and available towing-specific options you can get on the new 2020 Sierra 1500, including towing cameras, wired to the in-dash touchscreen, that can make your trailer appear invisible on the screen, giving you an unobstructed view of what's behind you so you can back up without anxiety. 3) Will Your Sierra be Used Mostly on the Street, or Do You Plan on Doing Some Off-Roading?: A lot of people go ahead and buy a 2020 Sierra 1500 4x4 just because they like the big, burly look of a four wheel drive pickup, and it's always nice to have the extra capability. If you're not planning on going off-road all that much, however, you might be able to skip the extra expense and weight of 4x4 running gear and go with a 2020 GMC Sierra 4x2 model. That said: if you're looking for the ultimate off-roader with a look that can stop traffic, check out the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, which features distinctive exterior features exclusive to the AT4, a factory suspension lift, mud-rated Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires, and your choice of either the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter gasoline V8, or the torque-monster 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel engine. 4) Do You Want A Show Pony or a Workhorse?: Don't get us wrong: every 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is ready to make your toughest days easier the minute you drive off the lot, no matter how fancy the trim level. That said: not every buyer buys a GMC Sierra solely for its world-class capability, towing capacity and power. All six trims levels of the Sierra are ready to get to work for you. That said, some folks buy a new Sierra as a rolling office, a place to meet (and impress) clients, or just as a symbol of their success in life. That's fine too, because we love putting drivers in their ultimate dream-truck! The 2020 Sierra Denali, for example, is the pinnacle of GMC luxury, with interior detailing, amenities and materials that rival fine European luxury cars, plus sophisticated exterior details and badging that make the Sierra Denali a real head-turner. Not everybody can afford a Sierra Denali, of course, but what fun would owning one be if everybody had one? Here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, we know that there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all truck, because what each buyer needs from their truck is so different. That said: by asking yourself these four questions and choosing your new Sierra carefully, you'll be able to find the Sierra that not only fits your needs but will be a truck you'll be proud to drive for years. Ready to buy a 2020 GMC Sierra in Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale or Fayetteville, Arkansas? Then stop in today at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, or shop our big selection online right now.

The coronavirus epidemic has caused people all over America to alter their plans to better fit the changed circumstances, and that includes the folks at GMC. While everyone at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC had been anxiously awaiting the scheduled May 20 reveal of the all-new, all-electric GMC Hummer EV supertruck, GMC recently announced that due to the coronavirus epidemic, they'll be pushing back the Hummer's reveal to a later date. "While we cannot wait to show the GMC HUMMER EV to the world," a statement released by GMC said, "we will reschedule the May 20 reveal date. In the meantime, the team’s development work continues on track and undeterred. We invite all to stay tuned for more stories on this super truck’s incredible capability leading up to its official debut." This delay is only... more building our excitement for finally seeing, hearing and driving the GMC Hummer EV, the shape of which GMC has only teased so far through a single, tantalizing image of a futuristic chrome grille and headlight package. Built around all-new technology and purposely bringing the Hummer nameplate out of mothballs at GM -- a name seemingly picked for irony, given that previous models built under the Hummer banner weren't exactly easy on gas -- the all-electric GMC Hummer EV seems poised to be a game changer, even with the few details GMC has released about it so far. The numbers GMC has introduced already seem astounding, including 1,000-plus horsepower, 11,500 lb.-ft of torque -- a figure so gargantuan that it blows away the torque figures of nearly everything with wheels that doesn't run on train tracks -- and a zero-to-60 time of an incredible three seconds. That's just a few tenths-of-a-second slower than the all-new mid-engine 2020 Chevy Corvette. Maybe the best part of all about the GMC Hummer EV is that GMC says this is no concept vehicle or design exercise. It's a functional, all-electric, built-to-work truck that will be going into production in the next few months, with a debut in GMC dealerships by late 2021 as a 2022 model year vehicle. The future is truly now, and coming soon to McLarty Daniel Buick GMC! Are you as excited as we are about the groundbreaking GMC Hummer EV truck? Though the official debut has been put on hold, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the future of trucks now.

For several years now, GMC has been expanding their AT4 trim level brand wide, upping the capability and style of already beautiful trucks and SUVs while giving them a signature adventure-ready look outside and the utmost in luxury inside. Now it's time for the mid-size GMC Canyon to join in the off-road luxury, with GMC's unveiling of the all-new 2021 GMC Canyon AT4. McLarty Daniel GMC is itching to get our hands on a few of these premium off-roader pickups, but for now, read on for everything we know about the all-new 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 “The new 2021 Canyon AT4 broadens the appeal to midsize truck customers who live an active lifestyle,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “Much like the Sierra AT4 has... more attracted new customers from outside GMC, the Canyon AT4 will attract outdoor enthusiasts looking for a premium midsize truck to GMC with the capability, technology and refinement they’ve come to expect.” The first-ever GMC Canyon pickup to wear the AT4 badge, the 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 dazzles with bold exterior design, including the AT4 line's exclusive Dark Chrome finishes, a larger grille design and red recovery hooks, like those seen on the big brother Sierra AT4. Underneath the skin, the Canyon AT4 gets the most rugged gear GMC has to offer, including an off-road tuned suspension with Advanced Hill Descent Control, an Eaton G80 auto-locking rear differential, a transfer case skid plate to protect the driveline from impacts and more. Putting the power to the ground are big ol' 31-inch Goodyear DuraTrac tires mounted on signature Dark Chrome 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the GMC Canyon AT4 will up the refinement, with a leather interior with unique Kalahari stitching and AT4 logos embroidered into the headrests. “This is a truck created with outdoor adventurers in mind,” said Aldred. “The Canyon AT4 is a perfect complement to the driver’s other passions and appreciation of the details, whether that’s a mountain bike, a snowboard or their truck.” The new Canyon AT4 is powered by either the 3.6-liter V8 with best-in-class 308 horsepower to help you muscle through the rough out on the trail, or the optional 2.8-liter Duramax turbodiesel, a compact powerhouse delivering a whopping 369 lb.-ft. of torque. Properly equipped, the 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 will be able to tow up to 7,000 pounds, meaning you can hitch up and bring toys like dirt bikes, wave runners, a ski boat or even a camping trailer along for the ride the next time you decide to light out for adventure. The new 2021 GMC Canyon, including the 2021 Canyon AT4, will be proudly built in the USA, at General Motors' Wentzville Assembly Center in Wentzville, Missouri.

For over 100 years now, GMC has been building the trucks and SUVs of the future that you can drive right now, packed with the modern styling and cutting-edge safety and power you've come to expect from America's no-compromise truck and SUV builder. GMC has never been shy about pushing the envelope when it comes to power and technology, and it looks like they're poised to help the world make a great leap forward to a more sustainable future with the announcement of the forthcoming GMC Hummer EV. An all-electric truck with stratospheric horsepower and torque, the GMC Hummer EV is sure to take electric vehicle capability to a whole other level when the model debuts later this year. So far, GMC has been tight-lipped when it comes to details about the... more incredible Hummer EV, releasing only an image of a futuristic front grille and headlight bar, along with some truly next-level numbers. That includes: 1,000 horsepower, 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque and a zero-to-60 time of three seconds! No, those aren't typos! Currently, the most powerful diesel-powered heavy-duty pickup available from an American manufacturer maxes out at just over 400 horsepower and 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque, so you can see what a quantum leap the GMC Hummer EV will be when it debuts. To put the three-second zero-to-60 time in perspective, the all-new mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette features a zero-to-60 time of 2.9 seconds, so getting close to that in a pickup truck should be a sight to behold. GMC debuted a teaser of the new GMC Hummer EV in a 30-second spot in this year's superbowl featuring NBA star Lebron James. “GMC builds premium and capable trucks and SUVs and the GMC HUMMER EV takes this to new heights,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “We are excited to debut our revolutionary zero-emissions truck during the biggest night in TV advertising.” “Teaming up with GMC to introduce the Hummer EV is a natural fit. Everyone knows about my love for Hummer since high school and I’m proud to be a part of announcing the new EV model,” said LeBron James. “The truck may be quiet, but the performance numbers speak for themselves.” Even more exciting is that GMC managed to keep the Hummer EV under wraps, even though it will begin production this year at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. GMC has promised a full reveal of the Hummer EV, including updated states and a look at the overall body and interior design, on May 20, 2020. Here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, we couldn't be more excited about the full reveal of the 2021 GMC Hummer EV, or the powerful future GMC has planned through all-electric power. Stay tuned for more details, coming soon from McLarty Daniel Buick GMC and our friends who build the future you can drive today at GMC!

The wait is finally over! Earlier this month, GMC released the first images and details about the all-new 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL. With major styling points adapted from the redesigned 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 truck, plus an all-new suspension and many top-shelf upgrades, the 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL are poised to change the game when it comes to full-size SUV design, handling, comfort, power, safety and technology. While the 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL won't be on the lot at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC until later this year, read on for everything we know about these incredible new SUVs. “GMC Yukon is the full-size premium SUV that’s made to be used,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “The new Yukon delivers what customers value most – premium features, purposeful... more technology and all-terrain capability.” From the brand known for uncompromising SUV luxury, the 2021 GMC Yukon comes roaring out of the gate with the luxurious Denali upscale trim and the first-ever Yukon AT4, raising the bar when it comes to premium off-road comfort and technology. Inside and out, the 2021 Yukon features the carefully-curated materials and craftsmanship you've come to expect from GMC, with more technology and safety features than ever. Inside, the 2021 Yukon's interior is completely redesigned, with features including an all-new Power Sliding Center Console that can slide forward or backward up to 10 inches to help you customize interior space. Helping keep you in command and informed is a new 15 inch multicolor Heads-Up Display that projects speed, navigation information, safety alert and more unobtrusively onto the front windshield. The 2021 Yukon also features a wheelbase that's five inches longer than the previous model, for more interior room and more cargo room thanks to a revised rear suspension that allows for a flatter, lower rear load floor. When it comes to engineering and power, the 2021 Yukon and Yukon XL rush to the head of the class as well, with features including a class-exclusive four-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension that raises the body two inches automatically when four-wheel drive mode is engaged, for more ground clearance and a more comfortable ride. Under the hood, the 2021 Yukon shines again with the most powerful available engine of any full-size SUV: the next-generation 6.2-liter V8 with dynamic fuel management, delivering 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque for huge maximum towing capability. The 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL are also available with the all-new 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel, for massive low-end torque and fuel economy of up to 30 mpg. Putting that power where you need it is an all-new 10-speed transmission and Active Response four-wheel drive, sending power to an electronic Limited Slip differential. The system continuously monitors road conditions, automatically sending power to the wheels with the most grip for the utmost in traction, handling and control. YUKON DENALI The other big news for the 2021 Yukon is the upgraded Denali package, pushing luxury to new heights. “Yukon was the model in which Denali originated in 1999, and now more than 20 years later, we’re introducing the quintessential Denali,” says Helen Emsley, executive director of Global Buick and GMC Design. “It delivers a first-class experience with an all-new, exclusive interior and a bolder, more distinctive exterior design.” For the first time ever, 2021 Yukon Denali models will feature a model-exclusive interior with a signature instrument panel, upgraded seats, and your choice of four color themes. Each of the four themes includes matching trim in a signature wood, plus leather upholstery that's cut and stitched by hand. Outside, the 2021 Yukon Denali is just as luxe, featuring a Galvano chrome grille that's larger and more detailed, with over 10,000 reflective surfaces, plus signature lighting effects to further set the Denali models apart. YUKON AT4 The GMC AT4 family of luxury off-road models has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years, with Acadia, Canyon, Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD all raising the bar on all-terrain comfort and style. The 2021 Yukon AT4 is the next to get the AT4 treatment, with a rugged look and purpose-first engineering for the ultimate in all-terrain capability. In addition to a unique front fascia, wheels and trim, the Yukon AT4 features the available four-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, offering an additional 2 inches of ground clearance at the push of a button, for an approach angle of up to 32 degrees. Helping power you through are 20-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires, Hill Descent Control, a full complement of heavy-duty steel skid plates and more. Inside, the 2021 Yukon AT4 goes big on luxury, with exclusive leather seating in Jet Black with Brandy accents and stitching, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats and heated second row seats. “Our mission with the next-generation Yukon was to create an off-road capable vehicle with a premium interior, advanced technology and class-leading space for eight people and their cargo,” said Jim Danahy, executive chief engineer of full-size trucks.

ushered in a whole new era of GMC truck design, building on over a century of beautiful, powerful, capable GMC trucks that truly earned the brand the motto: Professional Grade. GMC has always been about pushing the envelope when it comes to what American drivers can expect from their trucks. That relentless push for excellence has resulted in some truly beautiful and groundbreaking truck and SUV designs over the years, and many of us here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC have got our favorites. Seen below, check out our top five favorite GMC truck and SUVs. And when you're ready to check out the next chapter of GMC's never-ending push to build the best trucks on the road, stop in... more at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC and check out the all-new 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, the all-new 2020 GMC Acadia AT4, the burly 2020 GMC Sierra 3500HD, or any of the rest of the GMC family of trucks and SUVs. 5) 1975 GMC Sierra Grande Duallie -- General Motors turned the page on styling for 1973 with the introduction of the C/K series. A totally new design from the ground up, the trucks featured a much cleaner and more angular look than previous generation GM trucks, which is why GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado trucks built between 1973-1987 are now known as "Square Body" pickups. For our money, none looked better than early heavy-duty GMC Sierra Grande models with a dual-tire rear axle. Featuring burly fiberglass fender flares to cover the rear tires, great two-tone paint combos and a choice of either single cab or crew cab configurations, the GMC Sierra Grande was the dawn of a whole new era of ultra-capable heavy duty trucks. 4) 1955 GMC Suburban Carrier -- Seeking a more sophisticated pickup for wealthier buyers in the 1950s, GMC's rare 1955 Suburban Carrier -- a companion to the Chevrolet's slightly less-rare Cameo pickups built between 1955-59 -- was all about refinement and style, including a bed that featured sleek fiberglass outer fenders, sedan-style taillights and rear bumper, and a fold-down rear compartment to hide the spare. Paired with the dagmar-style grille and bold styling found on GMC's "Blue Chip" series trucks that began production in 1955, the Suburban Carrier made for a striking and beautiful package that predicted the rise of modern luxury trucks by decades. Never a big seller due to the increased cost of those luxury upgrades, today they're very sought-after by collectors. 3) 1970 GMC "Jimmy" K5 -- After the turmoil and social upheaval of the late 1960s, the early 1970s found many Americans just wanting to get away from it all to find adventure and self-reliance in the remaining pockets of great American wilderness. Helping them get "back to the land" was the first-generation GMC Jimmy K5. The GMC companion model to the first-generation Chevy Blazer, the GMC Jimmy used much of the same sheet metal as the same-year GMC pickup, only on a shorter wheelbase and sporting a lift-off fiberglass top for a full-convertible look. Featuring rugged GMC 4x4 running gear, V8 power and short approach and exit angles to help mount and climb over obstacles, the first-generation GMC Jimmy helped create the idea of the modern SUV. 2) 1999 GMC Yukon Denali -- Almost three decades after helping invent the SUV concept with the first-gen GMC Jimmy, GMC changed the game again with their first high-end luxury SUV: the 1999 GMC Yukon Denali. Named for the tallest peak in North America, the Yukon Denali was also the pinnacle of GMC refinement, loaded with the kind of features, craftsmanship and materials previously reserved for high-end luxury sedans. Well-received by consumers who wanted more comfort and options from their SUVs, the 1999 Yukon Denali started the luxury nameplate that eventually led to today's growing family of top-tier GMC Denali luxury SUVs and trucks, including the 2020 GMC Denali Sierra, Terrain, Acadia, and Canyon. 1) 1991-92 GMC Syclone -- Sinister and fast, with an all-black look and special badging, wheels and body cladding, the limited-edition GMC Syclone was the early-1990's most unlikely high-performance vehicle, sporting a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 delivering 280 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. Corner-carving all-wheel drive lifted from the GMC Safari minivan helped make the Syclone the quickest stock pickup of the decade and one of the most capable performance machines of the era overall, able to blast through the quarter mile in 13.4 seconds, with a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds. That's faster than an early-90s Chevy Corvette. With production lasting only two years, the special edition Syclone and SUV-based GMC Typhoon are hot commodities among collectors today, keeping prices for well-preserved examples sky high. Speaking of: GMC seriously needs to make a Syclone version of the all-new 2020 GMC Canyon. Pretty please?

According to poultry giant Butterball, the average frozen turkey weighs about 28 pounds, which means you can tow 1,089 of them to grandma's house. Who's bringing the gravy? 4) A large consumer-model refrigerator can weigh in at around 410 pounds, which means you can tow 74 of them if you can stack them high enough. 5) A "large" adult male Pomeranian dog weighs in at a beefy 7.7 pounds. Bring your earplugs for all the yapping when you tow away 3,961 of them with your 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty. Fancy! 6) Want some pumpkin pie?

Fall will be here soon, and in addition to Thanksgiving, Halloween, changing colors in the woods and cool evenings around the campfire, that means FOOTBALL! We're all about cheering on our Arkansas Razorbacks here at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, and if there's one thing we like more than a seat on the 50 yard line, it's all the tailgating fun outside Reynolds Razorback Stadium... more before the game. We're here to tell you that the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is the ultimate tailgating machine, and we can prove it! Read on for our five favorite reasons why the 2019 GMC Sierra is your premier pre-gaming platform on wheels. 1) UP TO 12,100 POUNDS MAXIMUM TOWING: Tailgating means bringing all your stuff with you, and no truck is better at bringing the good stuff than the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500.

The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 not only features iconic GMC style to help it stand out from the sea of full-size truck sameness, it comes in 12 beautiful colors, including eye-catching Cardinal Red. Here in Arkansas, we're going to call that one Razorback Red from here on out! 3) A TAILGATE THAT DOES A LOT MORE THAN TAILGATING: When the engineers and designers behind the 2019 GMC Sierra set out to create a better kind of truck, that included a better kind of tailgate. The 2019 GMC Sierra's exclusive MultiPro tailgate is a productivity MVP, able to transform into any of six functions, including a folding step that can support up to 300 pounds, a standing desk, a multi-position load stop and more! That makes it crazy versatile, whether you're on the jobsite or at the stadium. 4) A 120 VOLT AC OUTLET RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED IT: From hooking up a flat-screen TV to play the big game to running blenders, food processors, sound systems and more, you need power for tailgating! This season, leave the noisy generator and looooong extension cord at home thanks to the 2019 GMC Sierra's available 120 volt three-prong outlet near the tailgate. It can run most electronics and household appliances, powered by the Sierra's electrical system and a built-in, on-board AC/DC converter! 5) THE TUNES TO GET YOU MOVIN'!: Tailgating means music -- hum the Razorback Fight Song with us, won't you? -- and making music happen at the tailgate party is easier than ever with the 2019 GMC Sierra's available Multi-Pro Audio System by Kicker. Designed to integrate right into the GMC Sierra's available six-function MultiPro Tailgate, the 100-watt exterior sound system is waterproof, sounds great even outdoors, and has full Bluetooth streaming capability to keep tangled wires and broken connections from spoiling the fun.
