It’s back! Well, it never really left, but the truck to which it was applied was refreshed for 2016. The “it” we’re referring to is the darkly trimmed GMC Sierra Elevation Edition, a special-edition version of GMC’s Sierra 1500 pickup festooned with black trim pieces in the mold of, well, every other murdered-out special-edition model out there. We’re of course talking about the myriad Midnight, Black Out, and, uh, Midnight–labeled special-edition cars and trucks built by Chevrolet, Cadillac, Nissan, and others.

But back to the Elevation! As before, it comes with body-color door handles, body trim, and bumpers, as well as black-painted 20-inch wheels. Of course available with black paint, the GMC does open things up a bit by offering colors that aren’t black, meaning it’s more of a monochrome package. But GMC still felt compelled to photograph the black-painted version, so no points for originality will be awarded.

The same massaged front-end styling applied to other 2016 Sierras is present and accounted for, as are HID headlights, a 7.0-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a remote-locking tailgate, heated side mirrors, a 110-volt AC power outlet, black-finished tow hooks, and a six-speaker audio system. Buyers can choose either the Sierra’s base 285-hp 4.3-liter V-6 or optional 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8, as well as two- or four-wheel drive; the body choice is fixed, as only the double-cab body style offers the Elevation package. The special-edition Sierra goes on sale early next year, although pricing has yet to be announced.
