Back in the ’80s, one of the fastest vehicles from 0 to 60 mph you could get your hands on was the GMC Syclone truck. In an era where sub-five seconds times were mostly limited to exotic Italian brands, the Syclone was capable of blazing-fast acceleration.

Yes, General Motors is bringing back the Hummer. But rather than the gas-guzzling beast of yore, the new Hummer won’t use a drop of fossil fuel. Instead, it’s going to be a pure electric vehicle, sold under the GMC brand.

While the idea of revealing the new 2021 Yukon somewhere in Canada’s Yukon territory might have been more appropriate, GMC thought it might be better to do it somewhere a little easier to get to, so they brought a bunch of us out to Vail, Colorado to raise the curtain instead. The snowy backdrop of Vail and its mountains is the perfect environment for showing off GMC’s flagship full-size SUV, which, like the brands other vehicles deftly balances between luxury and adventurousness.

While I’ve driven lots of pickup trucks over the years, I actually don’t have a ton of experience towing things behind them. Thanks to my recent experience driving the new 2020 GMC Sierra HD, I feel much more confident pulling a trailer behind a truck.

Truck buyers know the trouble with aluminum or steel beds, and that trouble is when you do truck stuff they show dents and scratches, and the steel ones can even rust. This leads to lots of spray-in bed liners.

Over the last two decades, GMC has managed to go from being almost solely associated with industrial utility to being a true premium truck and SUV brand. The combination of styling, functionality, technology, and quality all aim above the levels of their Chevrolet brethren, and typically have the price tag to match.

It used to be that when a person wanted a posh vehicle, they went with a luxury car. Today, more and more people are going with luxury trucks instead, and GMC is showing off one very nice looking luxury truck with the 2019 Sierra Elevation.

GMC was so excited to reveal the newest generation of their Terrain compact crossover, that they couldn’t even wait for NAIAS, as the big reveal came Sunday night before the show opened. With the sheet pulled off, a completely new-looking crossover was showcased, including a new chrome grille.

Yesterday I mentioned that the 2017 Chevy Colorado would be getting a new V6 engine and 8-speed transmission. Unsurprisingly, its GMC Canyon twin will be getting the same powertrain for 2017. Along with the new V6 and 8-speed auto, the Canyon is also getting a new Denali version and an off-road flavored All Terrain X version. The Denali is all about luxury with big 20″ aluminum wheels and lots of chrome accents.

Back in the late 1930s, General Motors had Harley Earl design some cool customized buses for the GM Parade of Progress. Each of the Futurliner vehicles that resulted from that design had slick art deco bodywork and each had its own theme.

Today’s pickup trucks have to be big and durable and tow an RV, while carrying a palette of bricks in its bed. Right? WRONG! The small truck segment is back and growing, proving that bigger doesn’t mean better.

While it’s unusual for an automaker to launch a new version or special edition of a vehicle at one of the regional auto shows, General Motors likes to take the opportunity to own those shows. At the Houston Auto Show, going on this week, GMC pulled the covers off the 2016 Sierra All Terrain X.

Have you ever had a dream that was so vivid that when you wake up, you feel like you’re still in it? This just happened to me – the other morning I woke up from a dream about pick-up trucks.

GM pulled its last-generation Colorado and Canyon trucks from the market after sales failed to meet goals. If things continue to go as they are, the new Canyon and Colorado won’t meet that same fate. It’s estimated that models are on track to reach 120,000 units sold this year.

GMC has been selling full-size Denali trucks and a slew of Denali SUVs for a long time, but the upscale Denali packaging has never been offered on its mid-size Canyon. In late 2016, GMC will bring the 2017 GMC Canyon Denali to market.
