It’s the rare combination of aggressive off-road styling and high-torque efficiency—ready for the road today.

Why the 3.0L Duramax Changes the Game

Most lifted trucks sacrifice fuel economy for looks. The Duramax diesel engine changes that math. By pairing the Eclipse lift with the 3.0L Turbo Diesel, you gain:

  • Massive Torque: With 495 lb-ft of torque, you get effortless acceleration and towing power, even with the added weight of 22-inch wheels.
  • Highway Efficiency: Enjoy significantly better MPG than gas-powered lifted trucks—perfect for long commutes into the city or weekend hauls.
  • Refined Power: This is a modern diesel—whisper-quiet and incredibly smooth—making it an ideal daily driver for the Chicago suburbs.

The Eclipse Lift Package: Professional Presence

The Eclipse Package is for the driver who wants a head-turning stance without the headache of aftermarket shops. Because this lift is professionally installed before you buy, you skip the guesswork.

  • 6-Inch Stance: Provides maximum ground clearance and a commanding view over traffic.
  • Blacked-Out Aesthetics: Includes tinted windows and exclusive badging for a sleek, aggressive “industrial modern” look.
  • All-Terrain Ready: Equipped with tires designed to handle Illinois winters and muddy job sites with equal ease.

Built for the Illinois Lifestyle

From hauling a boat to Braidwood Lake to navigating the snow-covered streets of Frankfort and Mokena, this Sierra SLT is engineered for local conditions. You aren’t sacrificing luxury for capability:

  • Premium Comfort: Leather-appointed, heated seating and a heated steering wheel for those 20°F mornings.
  • Smart Tech: Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a massive digital driver display.
  • ProGrade Trailering: Multiple camera views make hitching a trailer easier than ever, even with the increased height.
