GMC’s – All about car

Fords planned Bronco revival is making a lot of manufacturers step their game up in the 44 department, but one rival has reportedly already given up.According to Muscle Cars Trucks, citing unnamed sources inside GM, plans for a new GMC-exclusive SUV that would have gone toe-to-toe against the upcoming Bronco and set the brand apart from sibling Chevrolet have been axed.The new vehicle could have even been called the Jimmy, reviving a classic name from the brands history to create a halo model, but, yes, thats reportedly all off the table now, too.The vehicle would have rode on a new body-on-frame platform dubbed 32XX, which would have also underpinned the next-generation of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon small pickup trucks, but that platform has been cancelled.Instead, the next-generation of those trucks will use a heavily revised version of the 31XX platform, called the 31XX-2. GM is undergoing massive changes, and the death of a Bronco-buster is just one of the byproducts of the North American restructuring plan.GM is cutting costs like its slicing a Sunday roast, idling four U.S manufacturing plants, ending production of some of the biggest nameplates in the brand, and even possibly taking the Camaro off of the list to receive a new platform. A planned Z/28 trim for the current Camaro has allegedly also been written out of history.The only thing that could provide some hope is the possibility of the Bronco rival moving toward GMs battery-electric platform, which will underpin an upcoming pickup

2020 GMC Sierra Denali CarbonPro Edition GMC spilled the details on its 2020 Sierra 1500 late May, noting the truck will offer such new features as a diesel engine and a camera view that can make a trailer “disappear.” The updated truck adds features to the all-new 2019 Sierra, which introduced the available six-function MultiPro tailgate. For 2020, the Sierra can be ordered with a 3.0-litre Duramax turbodiesel engine and ten-speed automatic. That transmission will also be standard or available on specific trim levels with the 5.3-litre V8 engine; it was previously mated only to the 6.2-litre V8. Other available features include a “transparent trailer view,” introduced on the 2019 Sierra HD, with a total of 15 camera views that combine to give a view of what’s behind the trailer, as if it isn’t there; adaptive cruise control that uses a windshield-mounted camera and can bring the truck to a complete stop; and stand-alone optional trailer tow mirrors. 2020 GMC Sierra Available Transparent Trailer Rear Camera View A new trailering app lets drivers create and edit trailer profiles on a mobile device. Depending on the trailer’s configuration, owners could remotely turn on an RV’s air conditioning or water heater, check the water and holding tank levels, or monitor on-board generator fuel supplies from a phone. The app will also send trailer maintenance reminders to the driver. The CarbonPro carbon-fibre pickup box, introduced for 2019, is available on specific models. The company said it increases durability with dent, scratch and corrosion resistance. While the Sierra is sold on both sides of the border, it’s a far more important truck for Canada than for the U.S., where truck buyers overwhelmingly prefer Chevy. In 2018, Americans bought 585,581 Chevrolet Silverados to 219,554 GMC Sierras; but in Canada, the Sierra outsold its Silverado sibling by more than 1,100
