GMC Trucks

I just flew into beautiful soggy Orlando, Florida for a convention and decided to rent one of the Lamda trio for the week I am here to see how it handles it's duties day to day. We will be transporting people to the show, 5-7 of them on certain days, as well as showing customers around a few bakeries in the area. Unlike my normal one-person point of view when I rent a car, I want to see how it handles the people and the luggage that goes with them. Also, my wife and I will be considering this truck and the Saturn sibling when her lease is up on our lemon-y unfresh Commander. So at National I pick up an Acadia SLT FWD in bright silver over grey leather. Pretty attrac…

Was in the Phoenix area this past weekend and while driving down the highway I spotted (or should I say, was passed by) a GMC Acadia. Tried taking a couple pics, but as you can see they didn't come out very good. I would've gotten some better ones but the woman was getting crabby about it. He was running a constant 80mph then turned around as we got back into the edge of town.

Okay, so I'm new to all of this, had a quick question. How difficult is it to find a 78 GMC 3/4 ton? Been looking around and have only seen this one which happens to be for sale right down the road from me. It looks a little rough around the edges but still seems to be running very well. Was wondering what would seem like a fair price just based on what you can see, and if it doesn't seem worth it, how hard are these to find? Any help or advice would be very appreciated.

While the title states "Chevrolet Silverado", what you see mostly in the video is the next GMC Sierra: Based on those two photos I've posted above, I'm not getting a 2011 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept vibe in that front end: Nor am I getting a 2013 GMC Acadia vibe in that front end: And I would say that from the two pictures I posted above that there's going to be a large chrome piece mounted at the top of the grille, a'la GMC Terrain, based on the mounting holes visible:

Edmunds Evaluation: 2007 GMC Acadia We learned a few facts that surprised us while driving the all-new 2007 GMC Acadia. First, GMC is The General's second best-selling division behind Chevrolet. In fact, GMC's sales are up more than 80 percent since 1991, and it's had record sales in 11 of the last 13 years. The division has also found great success in its "Denali" branding, with those premium versions making up nearly half of all sales for every model line that offers them. GM representatives expect similar success from the upcoming Sierra Denali line. So why would a division with this much success at selling pure "trucks" want to dip its tow ratings in the crossover…

GMC isn't ready to say good-bye to the current Acadia. Automotive News reports that the current Acadia will be sold alongside the next-generation model starting this spring. GM spokesman Brian Gobel said both models will be sold for a limited time, although a timeframe wasn't given. Gobel explained the decision to keep selling the old Acadia was due to manufacturing. The current model is built at GM's Lansing, Michigan plant, alongside the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse. With the next-generation Acadia being built in Spring Hill, Tennesse, this leaves a huge gap in the production schedule for Lansing. For the time being, the current Acadia will continue to be bu…

Anyone know about proposed modifications for the Acadia later in this model year or in 2008? In particular, my wish list would include: (1) a back up camera to go with the navigation unit- already planned for the Enclave; (2) rain sensing wipers- I love these on my VW Jetta; (3) preservation of the 6 disc CD when navigation is ordered; (4) having a DVD slot on the rear entertainment system unit itself; (5) availability of Bluetooth; (6) availability of a tan/beige interior as an option; and (7) amber rear turning signals- far easier to see than red ones, from my perspective.

GMI is reporting that the NG GMC Acadia and the Lambda SUT that GMC and Chevrolet were to share have been canceled from GMC's future product plans. GMI notes that they NOT received word that GMC is getting cut.

The dealer had already ordered the same truck for dealer stock so he expects it to be on the ground in about 6 weeks. Lets hope he is right!

Here are a few pictures taken Sunday night of the new Sierra. This dealership has a 50's truck, and they stood them side by side. GMTruckGuy74 is gonna love this!

The Sierra purchase and subsequent service relationship with "my" BPG dealership was all positive from day one. I wonder what would happen if I went in there this fall and ordered a 2010 Canyon SLE1 extended cab 4X4 5 cylinder with posi and power convenience package in that new gray-green color with tan interior. I still appreciate chrome bumpers on a pickup truck, and Colorado is all about the body-color bumpers unless I go full-tilt Z71, which I am scared of due to MSRP loftiness.

Acadian Allure GMC's new crossover builds interest with women By LAURA CLARK GEIST | AUTOMOTIVE NEWS Link to Original Article @ AutoWeek | Published 03/19/07, 1:38 pm et Click here to view Acadia's launch commercial, 'Inspiration' GMC's TV commercials traditionally have featured pickups and SUVs plowing through work sites and deserts, as gravel-voiced announcers addressed a distinctly male audience. So viewers may be startled by a commercial for GMC's new Acadia crossover. As soft music plays, a depiction of a man and woman asleep in bed gives way to images of colorful fabrics, diamond necklaces and luggage that flow through a blue sky and become parts of an …

LOL JK From Autoblog:

In case it hasn't been mentioned it before, last night I found a new forum exclusively for the new GM Lambdas. It is centered around the Acadia, but there are sections for the Outlook and Enclave as well. The web link is here--Acadia Forums. I registered myself last night under the screen name imgntht. If anyone else is a current/soon to be owner, or just wants more info on them, this looks like a nice informative place.

Same question as title

How many here remember this one or even knew they built this engine. I ran into one of these at work this week as guys are now using them for hot rods and pick up trucks. This was based on a the old GMC V6 bit it was a original casting for the block. It shared some parts from the V6 but it was a very limited and special engine. I was suprised how many people I know that never heard of this. http://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/the-gmc-twin-six-v12-702-cubes-275-hp-at-2400-rpm-630-ft-lbs-at-1600-rpm/

GMC has announced today the new extreme versions of their Sierra HD truck lineup with the AT4X and Extreme AEV edition trucks. These trucks have the following enhancements starting with an off-road capability of 18,500-pound max trailering, offering most trailering tech in class and first-class luxury features. The 2024 Sierra HD AT4X give you premium off-roading the GMC way.

Saw this on edmunds... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...ideline.promo.7 You can see the "new" GMC grille I didn't know the Envoy was already so far along, and was due out next year?

Nearly 20 years ago, GMC decided to create a luxury version of its Yukon SUV called the Denali by putting on some chrome wheels and leather upholstery. Today, Denali is available on most of GMC's lineup and makes up 25 percent of total sales. It also makes GMC a lot of money. Motor Authority reports that the Denali trim gives GMC highest transaction price of any non-luxury brand in the industry. To put it another way, if GMC was its own automaker, it would be ranked 150th in the Fortune 500 list. How is this possible? You only need to look at GMC's top vehicles. Close to three out of four Yukons sold are Denali with price tags beginning at $65,000 and climbing. 50 pe…

GMC Sierra Denali EV Edition 1 Pickup Truck, this allows GM to lead the industry with 3 all electric pickups which include the GMC Hummer EV Truck and the Chevrolet Silverado EV Truck. VP of Global Buick and GMC Duncan Aldred had this to say about the GMC Sierra Denali EV truck: “This is the Denali of EVs — and a truck that is every bit a GMC,” “That means it leaves nothing on the table when it comes to hauling, towing and overall power while unlocking even more possibilities around what a GMC pickup can offer.” GMC will lead the industry in not only having two trucks but also the GMC Hummer SUV and in 2025 you will be able to order a GMC Sierra AT4 EV and …

Check out the pictures someone ignored the embargo on of the new GMC Zeta. I will not post the pictures here but you cvan see them at Aublog.com Boys I think we are looking at the future and it looks great. We have a Zeta with truck like shoulders. GMC added a hybrid system to this and made a vehicle that would make a joke out of the Toyota and Honda entries in this small unibody truck market. The XT has a V8 and should have many of the abilities of the old 1/2 ton truck but in a more Crossover/Car like platform. I can see this as a way to combate the loss of truck sales and move people to a more higher mileage platform. Now if they could also do this in a l…

GMC has announced the addition of the AT4 and Elevation Trims to the 2026 GMC Sierra EV pickup truck joining the current Denali trim with a starting MSRP of $64,495 that includes the $2,095 DFC (destination and freight charge). The 2026 Sierra EV lineup has the widest selection of options. Across the trim lines you have three battery options: Standard, Extended, and Max Range. Denali trim has the option of all three battery packs, AT4 will have the choice of Extended or Max Range and the Elevation will have Standard or Extended battery range. According to Jaclyn McQuaid, global VP for Buick GMC, two out of three Sierra pickup sales are Elevation, AT4, or Denali …

When I stumbled across this concept a few days ago I figured it had to have been something a bit older due to its overall blocky design and shape. But when GM announced the debuts for L.A. just yesterday I knew that Gizmag had done wrong.

2007 GMC Yukon: Professional Grade at Competitive Price DETROIT – GMC today announced that the all-new Yukon will be offered with an MSRP of $34,690, $3,290 less than the recently repriced model it replaces. The Yukon features an entirely new interior and exterior design and the Yukon lineup features an all-new chassis and continuing standard Stabilitrak with new rollover mitigation technology. The aggressive MSRP is in line with the recent repricing announcement for the GMC brand. The 2007 Yukon will be available in February 2006, followed by the launch of Yukon XL and Denali models later this year. “We are excited to introduce the new Yukon lineup, and with the…

Much better views of the little Granite pickup can be found here. We need a tiny pickup in the USA... not as a replacement for anything, but as an addition to the lower end. This one is nicely done, imo.

The article cited concern over having it in the same dealership as the Buick Encore. Chevy is probably a better place for an xB competitor anyway.. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/11/gmc-granite-is-dead/

GM Tuner Rolls Out Production Version of Ironhide From Transformers Movie Date posted: 07-06-2007 | Link to Original Article @ Edmunds MONROE, Wis. — All Transformers fans know that Ironhide is the slowest Autobot, but also the least vulnerable to attack. He transforms into a GMC TopKick 6500 pickup — and now a GM tuner has rolled out a production version. Monroe Truck Equipment, in association with toymaker Hasbro, says the production version of Ironhide includes custom 20-inch aluminum painted black wheels fitted with monster 40-inch tires. The GMC TopKick normally comes equipped with dual rear wheels. Other details include two chrome big-rig smokestacks, horizonta…

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...rticleId=107544 I believe this is the first time that we've seen an extended cab GMT-900 pickup, all the other spy shots have been the crew cab. The front end does look different from the Yukon, adding to what insiders have said about the pickups looking much different from the SUVs.

Has anybody heard yet if the 6 speeds used in the Yukon's will becoming soon to the Sierra's or will it only show up in the Danali package.

Here are some pictures of the GMC Sierra SLE from the Barrie Auto Show in Ontario, taken today by Polish_Kris. Im lurking in the backround of the front end shot. The truck looks good in person, if a bit boring. The work truck dash is very nice from what I could see. It was locked.

Hi there. I have a problem with my 93 Astro. It is mechanically sound, but will shut down for no reason we've yet been able to determine. Some days it will run all day without any problems, some days it will run for 20 minutes and then ... nothing. There aren't any unusual noises associated with it, it just stops and refuses to start. The mechanics who have so far looked at the problem have thought that it might be any of the following: crank sensor, fuel pump, fuel sender relay, or the computer. If anyone has any ideas, has had this problem, or can direct me to a resource that will better be able to assist me with it, I'd appreciate it a whole lot. The vehicle is…

A copy of what they handed out at the CA Auto Show with some new pictures:

Does anyone have any information about whether the duramax will be offered in the Yukon XL / Suburban? I always heard the last generation couldn't accomodate the Allison Transmission, and GM wouldn't put any other trans behind the Duramax... but haven't heard if, with the new models, GM was going to offer the D-Max for the Yukon 2500.

Just some previews of what the press said at a recent 2007 Yukon drive: Media Drive Feedback The following are quotes from key media members following the recent Yukon media drive. “The 6.2 (liter engine) is great and I love the 6-speed, buttery-smooth powertrain.” — Mark Williams, Truck Trend “Vehicle is balanced and stable, you feel well planted to the road.” — Bob Gritzinger, AutoWeek “The interiors are spectacular — like you're in a luxury car, not a truck.” — John McCormick “It's clear that everybody's done their homework on these vehicles.

Canadian Driver: August 8, 2006 Feature: GM reveals new 2007 Silverado and Sierra Among domestic manufacturers, trucks are big business: they are General Motors' highest-volume product, and the profits they generate are going to be considered a large part of the company's plan to revive its flagging fortunes. So it's no surprise that the company made an event out of revealing the new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which debut as 2007 models. It all happened at the company's massive proving grounds in Milford, Michigan, where media, dealers and a select group of truck owners from across Canada and the U.S. were assembled in the scorching Augus…

Hey guys, not quite sure if this is where this thread belongs, but hopefully if not, It will get moved. I didn't know if the dealers typically follow a pattern in rebates through the months of the year. I ordered a new 2500HD and it will be here in February. DIdn't know if that was traditionally a bad month and hopefully they usually give bigger rebates then???????? I believe they're somewhere around $1500-2000 now. It will be my first ever new vehicle purchase, so I don't have any past experience with new car rebates to go back on. Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking about buying this, however dealer is not sure if it's a 62 or 63. I think it's a 1962 GMC Custom cab.

Well it happened really fast, but I will soon be the new owner of the Carbon Metallic Acadia SLE AWD with Titanium cloth. I went to the Chicago Auto show and saw the car for the first time in person, took one for a drive two days ago and will soon have one in my driveway. Very impressed by how the car not only looks but also how it drives. I defintely can concur with many others in past posts how nice this vehicle is. Definitely will be a sales hit! At first we had a little problem getting it down to the payments I wanted, and a fair value for my trade, but it all worked out in the end. We moved quick on it because there were alot of extra incentives that ended o…

I'm a salesman at a P-B-G dealer in Columbus, OH. We just got our first two Acadia's in yesterday. All I can say is WOW. They drive like a dream, they're super functional, and they look great. I haven't been this excited about a new car like this ever before. I'll try to post pics at a later time.

The Ram 1500 has a diesel option and recently updated Ford F-150 will be getting one in the near future. What about General Motors' full-size pickups? Some new spy photos reveal that it could be in the cards for the next-generation models. Somehow, a spy photographer was able to get underneath a GMC Sierra mule to find what appears to be a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter - key items you need to sell a diesel in the U.S. Of course, the question arises of what engine is under the hood. Various reports say it could range from a 3.0L V6 from Navistar to the 2.8L Duramax four-cylinder found in the Colorado/Canyon (we're a bit dubious on this …

I love the GMT-900s but I hate the Yukon's front end... it looks like a smily face. Trucks should be more agressive. Has anyone tried photoshopping the Sierras front ends or even just the headlights onto the new Yukon? I think it would be sweet.
