The beautiful outdoor areas and proximity to St. Clair River are some of the best perks of living in St. Clair, and in order to really enjoy them, you need the right vehicle. As your local St. Clair County GMC dealer, we are dedicated to helping our neighbors find the right vehicle to maximize their days in this beautiful region. There is a good chance that the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is that vehicle. This full-size pickup truck is so much more than a work-ready vehicle. It’s packed with features that enable you to really immerse yourself in the waterfront life in St. Clair. We’d love to show you why that is.

Best-In-Class Cargo Volume for Outdoor Adventures

The Bridge to Bay Trail boasts incredible views, charming homes, and miles and miles of trails. It’s one of the most iconic landmarks in St. Clair and provides dozens of ways to enjoy exercise and fresh air. We love the GMC Sierra 1500 because its massive bed cargo opens up so many possibilities for outdoor exploration. You can easily fit several bicycles in the Sierra’s bed, drive it to a promising trail, park it along the trail, and then head off for an afternoon of cycling around the lake.

If you want to get on the actual water, you can put kayaks, canoes, or inflatable inner tubes in the Sierra’s bed. Pull up to one of the many popular beaches along the shoreline and enjoy a day on the lake. Drivers who love to take their four-legged companions for a run on the Bridge to Bay trail but don’t want them dirtying the cab can put them in their secure crates in the spacious truck bed and drive them out to the shore for a run on the trail.

If you just want to enjoy a picnic at one of the many charming grassy parks along the shoreline, you can fit even the largest coolers of beverages and food in the truck’s bed.

Great Towing Capacities for Taking Boats Out to the Lake

Four-wheel drive Diesel vehicles can tow over 13,000 lbs, making the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 perfect for towing a boat or camper around St. Clair. Dozens of gorgeous campgrounds and RV parks have popped up around the shore, like the Marina Campground, Lakeport State Park, and Emmett KOA Holiday Campground. If you enjoy life in St. Clair by packing up for a camping trip and taking your boat out on the lake, the GMC Sierra 1500 is more than ready to tow it there.

If you frequently trailer items, you’ll also love the Prograde Trailering System. This available system has tons of innovative features that help you monitor your trailer, go through a checklist with you, and securely hitch your truck to your trailer. Auto electric parking brake assist, hitch area lighting, and an integrated trailer brake controller help you become a towing expert.

Enjoy A Cookout with the Six-Function MultiPro Tailgate

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 has the manufacturer’s Six-Function MultiPro Tailgate, a versatile tailgate with six useful positions for a variety of purposes. It’s especially great for cookouts at the great parks around St. Clair. Easily transport portable grills in the tailgate, along with all of your ingredients and something to drink. If you’re preparing food directly in the bed, you can fold down the inner gate to stand seven to nine inches closer to the bed for better access to your culinary creations. Turn the tailgate into a prep station, where friends can assemble their burgers and hotdogs with all their favorite toppings.

One of the most tailgate-worthy features has to be the available KICKER outdoor audio system built into the tailgate. This 100-watt sound system comes standard on the Denali and AT4X trims and lets you stream your favorite music at your cookouts, without the need to bring external speakers.

Drive the Denali to Detroit

If you need to drive to Detroit frequently, consider the Denali trim. This luxury trim will make that commute down the I-94 a little more enjoyable. It has a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a massive touchscreen, and a huge driver information screen to make your trip easier and more comfortable. Plus, it gets heated and ventilated 16-way power front seats with a massage function. Get your seating position just right for long drives and let the massage function melt away tension. You might not want to leave the truck once you get where you’re going.

Also available on the Denali trim is Super Cruise, GMC’s hands-free driving technology. It can take over braking, accelerating, and lane changing on over 400,000 miles of compatible freeways in the US and Canada. This can provide drivers a little break on long drives (however, you should always keep your eyes on the road, even when using Super Cruise).

Ample Storage for Busy Days

St. Clair has been increasingly recognized as an excellent place to raise a family, thanks to its reasonable cost of living and high safety ranking. If you’re tackling busy family life in this region, you might like all of the storage compartments in the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500.

Available rear under-seat storage gives you a place to store valuables like laptops or smartphones. If your kids are working on homework projects in the vehicle, they can easily conceal their devices when you make a stop at the grocery store. An available center console storage gives drivers a place to keep essentials, like sunglasses, snacks, or phones. Finally, a large lower lockable glove box and upper glove box give you even more places to stash away valuables. Behind the front seats, you can get rear seatback storage. These include two compartments ideal for keeping things like charging cords and magazines.
