Chassis and Utility Innovations


4-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk®

An available feature that enables the rear wheels to turn independently of the front wheels. At low speeds, this system allows the vehicle to move diagonally, significantly improving maneuverability in tight urban or off-road environments.

Air Ride Adaptive Suspension

This system allows the driver to adjust the ride height for functional purposes, such as optimizing aerodynamic efficiency on the highway or increasing ground clearance when navigating obstacles off-road.

Drive Modes

The truck features customizable drive modes to tailor performance characteristics (accelerator responsiveness, suspension tuning, steering feel, motor sound) to specific conditions:

  • Normal

  • Tow/Haul

  • Off-Road

  • Terrain (specific to AT4)

  • My Mode (user-personalized settings)


Cargo Management Systems

The Sierra EV incorporates advanced solutions for cargo versatility:

  • MultiPro Midgate: An available system that extends the usable cargo length by folding the rear seats and removing a modular glass panel from the rear cab wall. This allows for class-leading cargo lengths up to 10 feet 10 inches when combined with the load stop function of the tailgate.

  • eTrunk: A lockable, weatherproof storage compartment located under the hood (frunk), providing secure storage for luggage or gear.

  • MultiPro Tailgate: A six-function tailgate that can be configured in various positions to improve loading, unloading, and access to the cargo box.
