GMC (Page 10)

I recently spent a week driving the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 All Terrain X and in addition to having a list of functional features which make this Sierra among the most capable off-road trucks in the half ton market – the exterior features of the All-Terrain X package makes this the coolest half ton truck GM has offered in the modern era.

The GMC Terrain has been revamped. The new slimmed-down version comes with three new turbo-charged engine choices, including a diesel.

Yesterday we brought you the news that the Ford F Series pickup is the bestselling vehicle and truck in America for 2016 and today, we bring you a look at the rest of the sales numbers from the American pickup truck segment – including both full size and mid-size trucks from GM, FCA, Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Honda.

An owner of a new 2016 GMC Sierra asks how he should protect his leather seats from his child's car seat. The answer may surprise most parents.

In a post called "Tis the season," the owner of a 2014 GMC Sierra warns others about recent thefts happening in Houston. It is also a real eye-opener for everyone about how much these wheel thefts cost!

In a highly unusual move, General Motors was granted a delay in a planned recall of 2.5 million older pickups and SUVs. The recall was part of the ongoing Takata airbag inflator safety recall.

The IIHS has announced the results of their new headlight ratings test for the top trucks in the US market and the Ford F150, the Ram 1500, the Chevrolet Silverado, the Toyota Tundra and the Nissan Titan all did fairly poorly in the test – making you wonder how seriously a test can be taken when almost every vehicle in a popular segment fails the test.

General Motors has just announced the new All Terrain X package for the 2017 GMC Sierra HD, which includes an array of off-road friendly modifications and the optional Duramax diesel – packing 910lb-ft of torque into this aggressive-looking sport package.

I recently had a chance to spend a week driving the 2016 GMC Canyon with the 2.8L Duramax diesel engine and during that time, I found that the diesel Canyon is by far the most fuel efficient truck sold in America while also being the hardest working small truck I have tested thus far.

The 2016 GMC All Terrain X adds to the already impressive capabilities of the Sierra

While the package name All-Terrain might lead some to believe that this is an unstoppable heavy duty pickup that will conquer any trail, the truth is that the 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD All-Terrain is more of a luxury trimline that can still do every bit as much work as any other truck in the company lineup – including handling muddy trails as well as almost any heavy duty truck in the segment.

Last week we picked up a 1999 GMC Sonoma compact pickup truck and drove it 300 miles to its new home. Averaging well over 30 mpg on regular gasoline, we now ponder the true reason behind America’s inability to cross the high-mpg barrier.

If you are a Chrysler Group or General Motors fan who likes to row your own gears, you are in luck, as "FCA" and GM offer far more models with manual transmissions than do any of the other automakers doing business in the United States – with the Chrysler Group taking the slight edge overall.

General Motors has recently launched an advertising campaign boasting about the advantages of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra steel bodies compared to the Ford !50 aluminum body, but word around the watercooler suggests that the next generation full size GM trucks will follow Ford into the world of aluminum body panels.

After General Motors surprised us all by introducing a refreshed 2016 Chevrolet Silverado after just two model years with the current look, the automaker has rolled out a refreshed 2016 GMC Sierra – this time showing us the new face in three different trim lines.

I recently had a chance to spend some time with the new 2015 GMC Yukon XL and my test time in the true full sized SUV happened to correspond with a four day horse show – giving me a chance to put this family hauler through one of the most grueling real world tests in my little world.

The Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon will launch with innovative feature that parents will appreciate. Toyota's next Tacoma and Nissan's final Frontier had better be something very special coming if they want to retain their sales.

General Motors has announced that the pricing of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups will go up by as much as $1,500 – making the most expensive option in the half ton truck market even pricier.

Just months after the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra half ton pickups began hitting dealerships around the country; General Motors has announced a voluntary recall of some 21,721 new trucks because the front seats could move in the event of a hard rear end collision.

General Motors announced earlier that the new 6.2L V8 powering the top of the line 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra will offer best in class horsepower and best in segment torque so it should come as no surprise that these new half ton trucks can tow more than any of the competition – but what is impressive is that fact that the 6.2L V8 can also deliver 21 miles per gallon.

A shortage in the supply chain of the 5.3L V8 is causing production of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra in their most popular forms – slowing sales as prospective consumers and dealerships are put on hold for the high volume engine option.

General Motors has offered up the first images and information on the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL, providing pretty much everything that you could want to know about the next generation full size GM sport utility vehicles – shy of official pricing or fuel economy figures.

General Motors has announced the official power ratings for the 6.2L V8 engine that powers the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2014 GMC Sierra – numbers that make the new top of the line GM half ton pickups the most powerful available on the market today.

According to insider sources speaking with the folks from Automotive News, the next generation GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado midsized pickups are likely to feature small, efficient diesel engines in the not-so-distant future.

As we reported earlier today, the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra half ton pickups have become the first trucks to receive a perfect score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program – making the new GM 1500 pickups the safest on the market today per government standards.

The new Chevrolet and GMC crew cab trucks, popular as work vehicles, became the first pickups to achieve full five-star scores under the new crash test rating system from the NHTSA.
