A licensing agreement between General Motors and Allison Transmissions is set to expire at the end of the year, and any Allison badges will be removed from unsolved trucks by the end of next June.

General Motors has issued a recall and expanded another.

One involves tires, the other involves engines.

We have a recall involving the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado and 2026 GMC Sierra EV.

UCOTD is back -- your humble managing editor was on the road the past few days, working on a future story -- and today we're bringing you this 2004 GMC Envoy. Mostly because it has a bull bar on the front.

GMC has long been General Motors’ more upscale truck and SUV brand, earning nicknames like “the Bentley of the bible belt,” and the automaker hasn’t stopped pushing more luxury into its vehicles. The latest is the 2026 Acadia, which gains a new Denali Ultimate trim, following the lead set by the Sierra Denali Ultimate.

General Motors issued a stop‑sale order last week for GMC dealers for certain 2026 GMC Acadia vehicles. The affected units cannot be delivered, traded, auctioned, or used as demonstrators until further notice, while GM investigates an undisclosed quality issue. This according toGM Authority.

General Motors’ Silao, Mexico plant is set to shut down the first two weeks of August, a move that follows a similar pause in July. While the timing aligns with recent tariff actions, the automaker says the shutdowns are part of normal operations and are not related to changing trade conditions.

General Motors is going through it with engine issues right now, but a more recent recall for its medium-duty trucks is thankfully less of a disaster. The automaker is recalling around 62,000 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD trucks from the 2019 through 2024 model years for an issue with the brake pressure sensors that could cause a fire.

In 1999 General Motors began its rollout of GMT800 platform vehicles, updated and more rounded designs arrived to replace the square-bodied GMT400 platform that was in production since 1988. The platform’s main family haulers, the light duty (1500) Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, and GMC Yukon made the switch to GMT800 for 2000, while the luxurious Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalade remained on the GMT400 for one final year. Sending the GMT400 Tahoe out with a bang were two special one-year limited edition models. These special editions made good on the promise of a Nineties concept vehicle, introduced a trim level that would become permanent, and (crucially) used up some excess capacity at one of GM’s most important plants.

It constantly seems like the V8 might be dying. Stellantis is slowly killing the Hemi, though like a horror-movie villain, it never quite dies. Electrification and technological advances involving internal-combustion engines with fewer cylinders are both factors that make us think the V8 will be relegated to only niche sports cars and a few trucks. Yet GM made news this morning that has us pausing.

While this headline may sound delicious, the 2026 GMC Hummer EV sadly does not come equipped with tasty Alaskan-sourced entrées.

The General is rounding out the Sierra EV trim walk with a couple of models which are very popular on the internal combustion side of the showroom.

General Motors has issued a factory fix for a problem where third-generation Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups were leaving car washes with dented roofs. This comes after the previously issued service bulletin and will hopefully serve as a permanent remedy.

Your car’s grille is generally a part you’d like to hold on to while driving, but some GMC pickup trucks apparently didn’t get that message.A recent recall from the automaker covers almost 71,000 GMC Sierras from the 2022 model year for an issue that could cause part of the grille to detach while the truck is moving.

Almost 900,000 General Motors vehicles are now under apreliminary investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for an issue that could cause the engine to fail. While not a recall yet, this action is a step in that direction, and it could lead to expensive repairs for GM if it progresses.

It's van time with this 2005 GMC Safari van.

General Motors’ chief designer is retiring from the automaker after a 42-year career. Michael Simcoe will step down on July 1 this year and will be succeeded by the executive director of Global Cadillac Design.

GMC'sDenali trim hit thequarter-century mark this week.

The sub-brand of Denali has now been a fixture at GMC for 25 years, prompting the company to launch a special edition package marking the milestone. But rather than taking the opportunity to include 25-inch wheels, they’ve *only* stuck 24s on the thing. Cowards.

The GMC Sierra EV has only been on sale for a short time, but it’s getting a notable change as it heads into the 2025 model year.GMC recently said that the 2025 model year truck will come in two versions with up to 460 miles of range, and the automaker gave the truck a slightly lower price.

You may have seen a few Chevy Silverado EVs on the streets by now, but its sibling has been noticeably absent. It has been almost two years since the GMC Sierra EV was announced, but buyers areonly just now starting to receive their orders. The most expensive Denali Edition 1 version of the Ultium-based pickup is landing first, with more variants coming next year.

There is ample competition in the mainstream compact crossover segment, so any updates by a mass-market brand to its entrant in this field is worth talking about.

Ahead of the next model year, the crew at GMC have shared the briefest of glimpses at the large-and-in-charge 2025 Yukon SUV.

For those with the capacity to think back all the way to 2021, you may recall GMC announcing that the all-electric monstrosity that is the Hummer EV would come with a base trim after the limited launch edition (E1) became the less-collectable EV3X. The base model was to wear the EV2 suffix and effectively be a more affordable version of the EV2X by ditching the peppy tri-motor setup and running with the 400-volt electric architecture and a smaller battery pack. Originally estimated to retail for $79,995, it would have been the cheapest way to get into a modern Hummer. 

However, it looks like General Motors has abandoned the idea — likely due to it not making much financial sense. 

Big shocker here: Inefficiency is inefficiency, and it doesn’t matter if it comes from a gas or electric powertrain. Big, heavy EVs have proven to be just as wasteful as many of their internal combustion engine counterparts, though they aren’t producing any tailpipe emissions in the process. The GMC Hummer EV SUVranked high on theAmerican Council for an Energy Efficient Economy’s (ACEEE) list of “meanest” vehicles for the environment, placing only slightly better than the gas-powered Mercedes-Benz G 550 SUV.

Buying things from private parties can be risky. Even if you’re sure that you’re purchasing a legitimate, genuine product, exchanging any amount of money with a stranger is no fun. One Texas man recently had a terrible experience buying what he thought would become his dream car, only to discover his new purchasewas a stolen vehicle.

Midsize SUVs are many automakers’ bread and butter, so they work hard to keep the family haulers updated to stay competitive with the increasingly crowded field of alternatives. GMC’s midsize utility vehicle is getting an update for 2024, with increased exterior dimensions, updated tech, and a harder-core AT4 model with more off-road capability. 

This 2000 GMC Yukon is apparently "elderly owned", making it the proverbial "only driven to church on Sundays" vehicle.

It’s a great time to be fans of burly midsize trucks: the simultaneous existence of Ranger Raptor, Tacoma TRD Pro (plus Trailhunter), and the ZR2/AT4X duo at The General means there is ample choice on the market for shoppers in this segment.

Chevy went one step further by ‘roiding their already ‘roided Colorado ZR2 and creating the ZR2 Bison. Now, GMC dealers get a variant of their own in the new Canyon AT4X AEV Edition.

Trucks keep getting bigger, don’t they? At some point, one might start to believe that the trend to continually embiggen America’s most favored form of individual transport is further fueled by the trend in media to demonize trucks and their drivers. After all, we’ve seen an overwhelming distrust in and outright hostility to most forms of mainstream news reporting in the past decade, haven’t we? It stands to reason that perhaps some of the engorgement of trucks is in outright defiance of the pearl-clutching screed of the month.

At times, I’ll admit to privately feeling a bit of that disgust at lifted pickups, especially whilst in a drive-thru in my Miata when some yahoo with chromed suspension and wheels nearly drives over me. I don’t know that I personally have a need for something as large as the current batch of full-size half-ton trucks like this 2023 GMC Sierra AT4X. But for now, we live in a world where personal choice and personal responsibility are still mostly the law of the land, and for that, I’m grateful that those who need and want this size and capability can sign a foursquare for it.

It’s a great time to be a fan of midsize trucks with an off-road bent. Ford has finally Raptor-ized the Ranger, we know Toyota has tricks up its sleeve for the next-gen Tacoma, and General Motors has numerous dirt-road variants of its Colorado/Canyon cousins.

The latest? What appears to be an AEV variant of the already-capable Canyon AT4X.

People use pickup trucks as everyday vehicles, even heavy-duty models, so it’s not surprising to see automakers adding more luxury and capability to their most work-ready models. Rugged, off-road-read heavy-duty trucks are nothing new, but GMC’s taking it to the next level with the new Sierra HD AT4X and Extreme AEV Edition trucks. The pair comes with a slew of upgrades to improve their off-road capability while maintaining the workhorse attitude that people expect from heavy-duty trucks.

The Hummer EV has a sky-high price tag and wait times that extend to two years for some people. Despite that, and the fact that production isn’t rolling at blazing speed, GMC’s pushing forward with model year updates for 2023, including more range for the pickup and SUV variants. 

Ford stopped offering a diesel option in the F-150 a couple years ago, but its rivals have carried on. GMC offers a fantastic 3.0-liter Duramax Diesel in the Sierra 1500, and it’s becoming standard in 2024 for the AT4X off-road trim.

EarthCruiser made its name building rugged overlanding vehicles with price tags that cost more than many family homes. The company relies on Ford trucks for some of its models, and it recently announced a new partnership with GMC to use the Hummer EV as the basis for an emissions-free off-roader.

Venerable publicationRoad&Trackbrings us the story of the YouTuber who crashed his GMC Hummer EV trying to jump a ditch after just nine miles of ownership.

Every member of the B&B knew there would eventually be a GMC Sierra variant built on the Ultium platform, a set of bones that underpins the Hummer EV pickup (itself technically branded as a GMC in a slightly bizarre bit of marketing ambition) and Chevrolet Silverado EV. 

It turns out that while certain aspects of such a rig are understandably shared amongst all three, the GMC pulls a Lindsey Buckingham and goes its own way in one important area.

The 9,000-pound behemoth that is the GMC Hummer EV dominated the news cycle this week after some light testing showed that it would take an owner four days to recharge using the most basic at-home setup. 

The resulting freakout has split the media landscape and left electrification acolytes bickering with combustion-minded infidels in the automotive crusades. But the real tragedy seems to be the total abandonment of nuance when discussing the matter, as there’s a lot more at play than the new Hummer taking the better part of a week to fully charge. Neither side seems to see the whole picture and has elected to ignore some of the perks and failures associated with charging an all-electric vehicle.

General Motors is reportedly making OnStar standard equipment for all new Buick, Cadillac, and GMC models. However, it's also been alleged that the company will be forcing customers of those brands into a three-year subscription for the "Connected Services Premium Plan" that'll cost roughly $1,500 and represent the latest example of how automakers are leveraging subscription fees to improve their overall profitability.

General Motors is looking into using artificial intelligence — AI — as part of its vehicle-inspection process.

GM has made an investment in Israeli startup UVeye, a company that makes vehicle diagnostic systems.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has listed its’ automotive recalls for June 2 through 9 and the list includes Audi, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, and Honda vehicles forvarious types of recalls.

We return to thesaga of GM’s High Technology engine today, after taking adiesel detour in our last entry. Concurrent in the High Technology engine’s timeline, the Oldsmobile diesel’s failure was quick, but certainly not painless. It put the majority of American consumers off the idea of a passenger car equipped with a diesel engine. And by the time GM pulled the diesel from its various brand lineups, there was a strategy change over in HT4100 land: Not calling the engine HT anymore.

In today’s edition of Abandoned History, we return once more to the late Seventies engines of General Motors. After the disaster which was theV8-6-4 and the subsequent release of the quite flawedHT4100 V8, we take a sidestep today into diesel. Time for a turn with the cost-cut cast iron Oldsmobile oil burner that accompanied the troubled gasoline engines at GM dealerships across the country.

Before we get to this list of “best luxury cars”, I feel like you might be wondering about that headline. Why $90,060? I chose that number because the ceiling for my “best cheap cars” post was based on half the average selling price of a new car (more or less), and arbitrarily decided to keep going with that theme and set the floor for this list at approximately twice the current average.

As for the list, itself, I’ll try to answer it the same way you’d probably answer your rich friends if they asked you for help picking a new car: With a question of my own.

No, it’s not anything as pedestrian as, “What do you plan on using it for?” That kind of stuff is for the poors. For the rich people, the real question is:Who are you trying to impress with it?

The GMC Yukon formula is familiar. Big and comfortable with a powerful engine getting things motivated. It’s a winning formula, too – the Yukon is quite popular, as you know.

Underneath, the formula remains the same. Stylistically, though, chances were taken. And that roll of the dice doesn’t pay off quite as well.

GMC had the sense not to mess with the powertrain, but the attempt to keep the styling current is a bit of a messy miss in this application.

Why are we switching to electric cars? I mean, I’m not talking about the need to “do better” when it comes to Mother Earth and the baby kangaroos —even Randy Newman wouldn’t bomb the baby kangaroos — but are EVs andbillions spent to lower prices and build chargers for the things really going to make the world better if people just look at them as a way to have their cakes and eat them, too? To put it another way, are you really reducing your carbon footprint behind the wheel ofa 9,046 lb. GMC Hummer pickup?

That’s right, kids. The upcoming all-electric Hummer will tip the scales at more than 4.5 tons — and that’s “just” the pickup. The SUV will probably weigh more since it’ll be hauling around more glass, seats, and carpets than the pickup. Despite having enough mass to generate its own gravity, the GMC-badged truck can rocket to 60 mph in under 4 seconds, and effectively crush its way through untouched, virgin wilderness in a manner worthy of its heritage as an Army man cosplay favorite (Punisher window sticker not included).

It’s almost enough to make me throw my hands up and say, “Why bother!?” Andthat, dear B&B, led me to ask myself the question: What would I drive if I just didn’t give a f***?

You finally did it, didn’t you? You beautiful disaster, you did it!You spent nearly $30,000 US American dollars on thirty-seven-year-old Toyota Corolla because of a comic book, and you aren’t even mad about it. Hell, you paid a little extra for the “authentic”Fujiwara Tofu Shop decals on the doors. You. Kick. Rear. And now, after you didn’t think it could be possible to feel better about your automotive purchase, I’m going to make you feel better about your automotive purchase – because you can now buy factory-fresh parts for your Corolla AE86, straight from Toyota.

That’s right kids, through its captive motorsport brand, Gazoo Racing, Toyota is reproducing spare parts for the Corolla Levin Sprinter Trueno “AE86” as part of the GR Heritage Parts Project. The project reproduces new original parts that have been discontinued and sells them as genuine parts with a standard new part warranty, “in order to support customers who wish to continue driving older vehicles that are full of memories and that they truly love.”

All kidding aside, you have to admit that the concept of a Heritage Parts program is great, even if the Initial D AE86 isn’t exactly your cuppa – but it sort of begs the question, what other new-age classics might be worthy of a heritage program? I’m glad you asked!

Today’s Rare Ride coverage was prompted when your author saw an unusual pickup truck on the roads of Cincinnati. The truck in question was a black Sierra Denali from the early 2000s, with a telltale feature on its rear fenders: little lights on either side. Let’s talk Quadrasteer.

Ninety years. That’s the amount of time that General Motors has led the sales charts in the U.S.

That may change this year, according to industry bibleAutomotive News, because of the ongoing microchip shortage.

The chip shortage has struck again.

General Motors is going to temporarily halt production at most of its North American assembly plants, starting Monday, because the shortage of semiconductor chips continues.

As part of an announcement that the 2022 GMC Sierra would receive GM’s Super Cruise “hands-free driving-assistance” system (GM’s phrasing, not ours), GM confirmed that the system will work while towing and trailering.

GMC is using the Final Four to take the wraps off of the next part of the all-electric Hummer lineup — theHummer EV SUV.

We know all,or at least most, of the details about the upcoming GMC Hummer EV. And General Motors has staked a lot on its success.

But will anyone actually buy it?

On Wednesday, General Motors announced plans to launch a version of Super Cruise on the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali modified to work with trailers. The hands-free driver assistance system (GM can’t call it “autonomous” because it technically isn’t) will stop being exclusive to Cadillac products and branch out into premium offerings from GMC and Chevrolet’s Bolt EV.

While unavailable until late in 2021, the next round ofvehicles to be equipped with Super Cruise is supposed to see continued improvements to the system that allow for greater coverage. When the system originally launched on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, it was only eligible for use on specific divided highways for safety reasons. The greater emphasis on avoiding accidents was appreciated but it made the system seem more like a flashy gimmick than something any serious person would use on the regular. But GM has taken great strides to make sure that didn’t remain the case — hence the new trailer capabilities and ever-widening operating area.

It’s beenHummer week around these parts, as the GMC Hummer EV finally made its debut on Tuesday night. We’ve had a whole slew of stories up — but I wanted to get a sense of what you, the B and B, think of it.

You likely know that lead times in the automotive industry are long when it comes to developing new or significantly redesigned models.

You also likely know that one of the reasons for the long lead times is that automakers spend a lot of time testing prototypes, putting untold numbers of miles on test mules on public roads, at dedicated proving grounds, and in harsh weather environments.

Yet, the newly introduced GMC Hummer EV is just beginning to undergo testing.

So, you liked that newGMC Hummer EV you saw last night, either on these pages or during the World Series. You want one, and you’ve got the scratch to plunk down over $110K and the patience to wait for the first builds a year from now.

Well, if you’re planning to reserve aHummer EV Edition 1, if you snoozed, you lost.
