GMC News
GMC, sometimes referred to as GMC Truck, is a brand of General Motors and one of four remaining core brands that remains after the automaker emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2009. Normally the second best-selling GM brand behind Chevrolet, GMC markets mostly trucks, SUVs and CUVs under the tagline Professional Grade, though all are versions of models sold by other GM brands.

0Report: Shanghai GMC dealer offering five tons of free gas with truck purchase 1337625120
Big trucks just aren't appealing enough on their own, at least in some places. For proof, look to a Shanghai GMC dealer who is offering about three years worth of free gas to anyone who buys a new Sierra Denali. Too bad it'll take about 20 years to pay off the big truck. The dealer is giving away five tons – about 2,000 gallons, worth around $8,000 ...

Report: GM's next-gen pickup plans force dealers into one of two camps 1336483680
Most General Motors dealers make their living off selling pickup trucks. (That's why when it came time to trim the brands and reorganize under bankruptcy, GMC survived and Pontiac didn't – because Buick dealers needed to have a truck to sell, not a full-size muscle sedan from Australia.) That makes this year a tricky one for dealers, according to ...

Video: Track N Go treads dangerously close to awesome 1335396600
Clearly, we weren't the only ones who spent the better part of their childhoods building all manner of strange and wonderful Lego vehicles. We're pretty sure we had this design knocked out back in the early 80s, but as far as we know, exactly no one has figured out how to fit easily removable tracks to a conventional vehicle in real life. We've seen some ...

General Motors has announced a recall of certain 2011 and 2012 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia models for wipers that may fail under heavy snow.

Find of the Day: "Authentic" A-Team van replica commissioned by Mike Myers 1333238460
We pity the fool who don't think this is cool. Put aside the celebrity provenance of this "authentic replica," allegedly "certified" by George Barris, for now and just take a look at the thing. It appears to be a spot-on knock-off of B.A. Baracus' bad attitude van, the perfect midlife-crisis toy for anyone who grew up watching The A-Team. Imagine how cool ...

Official: GMC debuts 2012 Yukon and Sierra Heritage Editions 1333147440
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the GMC brand – something that first appeared at the 1912 New York Auto Show with models like a five-ton dumptruck. It will be the smaller passenger vehicles that do the celebrating, though, with Heritage editions of the Yukon, Yukon XL and Sierra 1500 Crew Cab being unveiled next week. The special edition ...

Recalls have been issued for four 2012-model-year General Motors products over steering-gear issues. The Chevrolet Suburban and Express and GMC Savana and Yukon XL could suffer from pitman shafts that weren't hardened properly, potentially leading to a fracture and a loss of steering. There are 6,159 vehicles involved in the recall. GM will begin ...

Official: GMC reveals 2013 Terrain Denali with 301-horsepower V6 1331789400
GMC has a hit on its hands with the Denali trim, but for some reason the brand's most popular crossover still hasn't donned the signature chrome grille. That will change for the 2013 model year with the introduction of the 2013 Terrain Denali. The freshly minted Terrain Denali will of course feature a chrome front grille, 19-inch wheels (V6 model only), ...

Official: Lexus, Mini take home dealer satisfaction laurels in latest J.D. Power survey 1331751540
When it comes to handing out awards, nobody works harder than J.D. Power. With surveys concocted to measure dependability, brand reputation, customer retention, quality, and whatever else the company can dream up, we sometimes wonder whether the company's plaudits aren't becoming a little like "participant" medals awarded at the end of kids' sports ...
