2017 GMC Yukon Denali: Escalade Lite3.5/5

If you’re in the market for a Cadillac Escalade, but cannot quite muster up the $90,000+ for a reasonably-equipped model, then you may have better luck with the GMC Yukon Denali which starts at $78,840. I characterize the Denali as an Escalade Lite, but as one of my auto journalist …May 19, 2017

2017 GMC Acadia: Unique, For Now4.0/5

You might not know it, but Canada is a big market for the GMC division of General Motors. While buyers in the United States generally prefer Chevrolet’s truck lineup, we are more inclined to choose the GMC brand’s more posh versions. European style, brand image; we can speculate on the …September 1, 2016

In Whistler to Drive the new 2017 GMC Acadia

General Motors offers quite a few options for those in need of a vehicle capable of carrying seven passengers over three rows of seats.

GM Takes Meticulous Approach to Weight Savings

Features and Tips

WARREN, Michigan – A couple years back, Ford made a big splash with its F-150 pickup made of mostly aluminum. Ford's rhetoric focused on a savings of 700 lbs., but in the background lurked many of its competitors, as they kept one eye on how things were going at the …May 20, 2016

2016 GMC Canyon SLT Duramax Diesel: Efficiency Comes at a Price3.5/5

When General Motors revitalised its small pickup trucks a little more than a year ago, the manufacturer announced the eventual availability of a diesel powertrain, something the market segment hasn’t seen in quite a while. That engine has arrived, promising fuel economy and generous torque to raise the Chevrolet Colorado …March 24, 2016

2016 GMC Yukon Denali: The Escalade For The Rest Of Us4.5/5

In the world of luxury yachts, the perennial race between billionaires is to see who can build the bigger boat. It's not unheard of for oligarchs and oil barons to tear up the decks on their almost-completed flagships in order to add a dozen additional metres in overall length and …December 25, 2015

First Drive: 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali

There are vehicles out there that make statements, and then there are those that recite entire passages on the pavement. The 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali is one such vehicle. It's huge, luxurious, and doesn't care much about trivial things like fitting in parking spaces or burning an extra litre …August 13, 2015

2015 GMC Sierra 1500: Big Red Island Adventure4.0/5

If you can't afford a boat, then Prince Edward Island's rural character almost cries out to be seen from behind the wheel of a pickup truck, as its small villages, rocky coastline, and bright red mud provide the perfect complement to the preferred ride of country folk across the country. July 24, 2015

2015 Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon: Being Young Has Its Advantages4.0/5

Until these two new vehicles from General Motors arrived on the scene, people weren’t exactly clamouring for mid-size pickups.

Coming Home: Driving The 2015 GMC Yukon Through The Yukon Territory4.0/5

Seemingly, you’d have to be more than a little crazy to hurtle a two-ton SUV up and down a 60 kilometre Yukon mountain mining road so steep that there’s simply nowhere to even attach a guard rail. And yet I found myself doing exactly that this past week behind the …September 1, 2014

Pickups Will Finally Adopt SAE Towing Standards

Towing standards: there really aren't any in the pickup industry. I know that might seem like a strange thing to say when manufacturers are constantly boasting that vehicle X can pull up to 24,000 lbs, but it's true - there's no standardized test that has been agreed upon by each …June 11, 2014
