GMC Overview

Price Range (MSRP): $21,100 (Canyon) to $51,800 (Yukon XL)

GMC is an upscale brand of General Motors, specializing in SUVs, pickup trucks, and other work vehicles. Generally, GMC vehicles share the same platforms as other vehicles under General Motors, but come with additional features and powertrain options.

GMC’s entry-level pickup truck is the midsize Canyon. The Canyon is smaller than GMC’s full-size options. There are two engine options and two cab sizes to choose from as well.

The full-size Sierra 1500 pickup received a slew of changes last year including new exterior styling and new engines that increase both power and fuel economy. Models with the 6.2-liter V-8 get an eight-speed transmission and a Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension is optional.

For those who need more from their trucks, GMC has a pair of heavy-duty work trucks in the Sierra 2500HD and the Sierra 3500HD which have expanded cargo/towing capacity.

The five-seat Terrain compact crossover is the smallest vehicle in GMC's lineup. Like several of GMC’s other models, the Terrain comes with the OnStar communication system, which adds Wi-Fi hotspot capability over a 4G LTE connection.

GMC’s full-size crossover, the Acadia, is powered by a standard 194-hp, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. It offers seating for seven or eight across three rows of seats.

The Yukon is the full-size SUV in the lineup. It has blockish styling and a giant front grille. Under the hood, it is powered by a standard 355-hp, 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Seating capacity ranges from seven to nine passengers depending on seating configuration.

If you need more cargo room and hauling capability, the Yukon XL may fit the bill with its 8,100 pound max towing capacity. On all Yukon variants, rear-wheel drive is standard while a four-wheel drive system is optional.

GMC also builds a line of work vans in the Savana 1500, Savana 2500, and Savana 3500.
