GMC, sometimes referred to as GMC Truck, is a brand of General Motors and one of four 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.

Official: 2015 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition goes dark, looks good 1411155900
Forget about the so-called sporty Chevrolet Silverado Rally Edition. If you want a General Motors pickup with some added style, this one looks like a more cohesive, well-done package to our eyes (though it's also not "sporty," despite GM using that term over and over again). It's called the GMC Sierra Elevation Edition, and it hits dealerships later this ...

Official: No carbon fiber was harmed in the making of new 2015 GMC Sierra Carbon Edition 1410560940
Carbon fiber is known for its properties of combining amazing strength with extremely low weight, and its frequent use in high performance vehicles gives the material a somewhat aggressive air. GMC is hoping to play on some of that mean reputation with its upcoming trio of Sierra Carbon Editions. However, despite their name, there's no actual carbon ...

Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to ...

Recalls: GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside 1407432600
It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two ...

Recalls: GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars 1406140200
General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads.

Official: GM confirms 2015 Silverado, Sierra to get 8-speed automatic 1405706340
When viewed alongside the next Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500, there is one thing that seems to be missing from the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Where the F-150 will rely on turbocharging and aluminum architecture and the Ram sports an eight-speed automatic and an air suspension, the General Motors twins lack a big, calling-card feature. They're very ...

Official: Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe 1405459980
Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture.

Report: GM pushing back on proposed pickup and SUV brake recall [w/poll] 1404822600

If your author's notoriously sketchy math is correct, that'd work out to one recall every 3.5 days (as of this writing). GM is actively fighting to make sure there isn't a 55th recall, though. Safety critics, including perennial nemesis ...
