The Ultimate Hybrid SUV
June 15, 2009 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The GMC Yukon is, for many families, the ultimate in transportation. It features enough space for just about any family out there, and it can tow a camper or look great parked for a night out on the town.
Of course, all of that luxury, size and power comes at a price. The GMC Yukon is far from the most fuel efficient vehicle on the road. However, beginning with the 2008 model year and continuing in 2009, GMC has offered Yukon fans a way to save at the gas pump: with the GMC Yukon Hybrid.
There was a time, of course, when hybrid cars were small and aerodynamic. Eventually, you would find a mid sized sedan or maybe a compact SUV that featured a hybrid engine. Today, however, you can go green with one of the biggest vehicles on the road.
the GMC Yukon hybrid relies on a 6.0 liter gas V8 engine that is supported by two electric motors. The yukon can actually go up to 30 miles per hour on electric power only, giving a 21 mile per gallon fuel rating in city driving.
The GMC Yukon Hybrid is similar to a regular Yukon in all of the way sthat matter. It can seat 8 people and offers around 109 cubic feet of space for cargo. As always, this Yukon comes loaded. It can even tow up to 6,200 pounds.

Crossover GMC Offers Top Fuel Efficiency
June 1, 2009 by jcme · Leave a Comment
When you think about SUVs from GMC, the first thing that comes to mind probably isn’t fuel efficiency. While GMC trucks and cars are well built, reliable and stylish, they haven’t always been the best at the gas pump. However, the all new GMC Terrain for 2010 is changing all of that.
The new Terrain takes the rich GMC history of engineering excellence and applies it to a smaller, more fuel efficient package. This vehicle gets an amazing 32 miles per gallon on the highway, and yet has all of the capability you’ve come to expect from GMC.
The 2010 GMC Terrian comes with a 2.4 liter four cylinder engine with direct injection. The vehicle veatures a special “ECO” mode that can be activated using a button on the console. What this does is to lower the torque converter lockup speed, which in the end helps to save fuel.
And, of course, the vehicle has plenty of standard equipment. There is a rear-vision camera, power liftgate, Bluetooth connectivity, and much more including USB audio connectivity.
If you’re looking for a crossover SUV that won’t break the bank at the gas pump, consider the 2010 GMC Terrain. Your GMC dealer near Springfield can help you find just the right one for your needs.

GM to Cut Truck Production
July 9, 2008 by Adam · Leave a Comment
As North American drivers continue to watch the price of fuel increase, more and more of them are choosing cars over trucks. This has led to General Motors cutting production of their truck models, SUV’s, and vans by 170,000.
A large drop in sales in of their light truck models and SUV’s have triggered this move by GM. They are hoping to make up for this lack by boosting production of their fuel-efficient cars and smaller, lighter SUV models such as the GMC Acadia by 47,000 units. The company will be idling 7 different plants in North America and Mexico for up to as many as 12 weeks to accommodate this cut in production.
While this may come as a disappointment to truck enthusiasts, there is a silver lining to this cloud. To try and stop the slump in truck sales GMC has been offering interest free loans to purchase trucks and have offered loan periods as long as 6 years while they try to sell the inventory they have left. What this means to those who either need to drive a truck or prefer to drive a truck is that there has never been a better time to buy a GMC truck.
In some instances, casual drivers have made the decision to sell their own trucks as they make the move towards smaller, more fuel-efficient cars. This has created a buyer’s market, meaning that there has never been a better time to buy a used GMC truck either. Prices on used trucks and SUVs have dropped 15 to 30% over the last year, with models having a blue book value of $17,000 actually selling for around $11,500.
Bet of all, they are the same GMC trucks you have become accustomed to. Even though they may have dropped somewhat in value, they were still made to the same exacting standards of value, safety, and performance that have been a hallmark of GMC. This is the time to purchase the truck you’ve always wanted at new, lower prices.

A Closer Look at the 2008 GMC Sierra Denali
May 1, 2008 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The highest peak in North America is in south central Alaska, and the peak tops out at 20,300 feet. The name of that mountain? Denali.
It’s extreme. It’s bad. It’s a monster. It’s beautiful… but we aren’t referring to the mountain anymore.
The GMC 2008 Sierra Denali encompasses everything about Mount Denali and more. Just like the mountain, the Sierra Denali is built tough and made tough with elements that set the standard for extreme.
It has a Vortec High-Output 6.2L V8 engine and 18 inch or optional 20 inch wheels. The Denali has 403 anxious horses of power who really, REALLY want to get you where you’re going - no matter what it takes.
Mt. Denali is formidable. So is the 2008 GMC Sierra Denali.
Inside the truck, it’s a whole new world. Forget the bad weather and whipping wind. Sit down into a comfortable life of ease and convenience. Packed with features, the Sierra Denali makes sure driving is an extreme experience.
There’s dual-zone automatic climate control, a powerful stereo system. Get an impressive mP3-capable 6-disc in-dash CD changer and a Bose® premium speaker system with subwoofer. Now that’s riding along to the tunes.
The front bucket seats with 12-way power driver and front seat passenger adjusters make driving a pleasure, and a color-keyed, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls just keeps the good times coming.
City, highway, mountains… this is the truck for all your needs. Don’t take our word for it, though. Check out the 2008 GMC Sierra Denali and take it for a test drive. Then YOU tell the world – or if you want to, shout it out from the mountaintops.
