Qualified fleet customers will receive a GPS/Java-enabled Nextel i58sr phone and a one-year subscription to a Nextel Total Connect data plan when they select the etrace xt package. Eligible vehicles that offer the etrace xt package are the GMC Sierra/Chevrolet Silverado and HD pickups, Savana/Savana Pro and Express/Express Access vans, Astro/Safari, and S10/Sonoma pickups.
