2011 GMC Sierra 1500.  Regular Cab Short Bed 2wd  5.3 V8, Black with Black and Grey interior. 25000 miles.

I purchased this truck new in Oct 2011.  Regular Cab Short bed pickups with the 5.3 v8 are hard to find.  My dealership had to go 600 miles in order to get me what I wanted.  This truck has the rubber floor mat instead of carpet but I can install a carpet kit at an extra charge. 
Here is how it was equipped when I purchased it.

5.3 with the 6 speed auto and a 3.42 rear gear.
Air conditioning
Power windows
Power door locks
Cruise control
Tilt wheel
6 speaker stereo and CD player with MP3 capabilities and AUX input.
Towing package with extra trans and engine oil cooler, Reese style trailer hitch and trailer light connectors.
Rear tinted window
Fog Lights
Cloth Bucket seats with folding center console
GM bed mat

List of items and upgrades I added.

McGaughys 4/6 lowering kit and BellTech Lowering shocks
20" American Racing wheels with 285-50-20 tires
Changed the chrome front grill for a factory take off black painted unit from a higher trim model.  This one has 4 horizontal bars where as the factory one only has 3.
Removed the factory chrome front and rear bumpers, had the chrome stripped off and powder coated black to match the truck.  Powder coating a front bumper is better than painting one due to rock chips.
Changed factory headlights for aftermarket ones that have less chrome.  These are not like the cheesy ones you usually see, these look like the stock units only with less chrome around the edges.
Tinted side windows.  I have one of the best tint guys in the business.  Quality tint that will not turn purple, and no bubbles.
Spray in bed liner.  I chose the Raptor brand (SEM) due to the fact it has a slight sheen to it, unlike the flat chalky versions that are out there.  I also installed a plastic tailgate cover (tailgate is sprayed also) to make it easier to slide items in and out of the bed.  Plus once it shows some wear it is easy to replace.  Factory bed mat has always been used on top of the spray in bed liner.
Tailgate also has a helper shock to keep it from slamming down when opening.

Truck still retains the factory exhaust and the factory computer has never been tuned or tweaked.  Truck is very clean inside and out.  No door dings or large scratches.  It is black so any little imperfection shows up but you will not be disappointed in this trucks appearance.  I routinely change the oil with Mobil 1 full synthetic.  Never had an issue with this truck and it always get compliments when I drive it.  Decent mileage for a full size with a the V8, 17mpg around town and 22mpg on trips.   This used to be my daily driver until I started working from home.  Just don't drive it much anymore and need the garage space for other projects.  If you have any questions feel free to contact me.  Please only serous buyers.

GMC teases rugged 2021 Canyon AT4 pickup

Wed, Aug 21 2019

GMC promised every model in its lineup would get the AT4 treatment by 2021. Having introduced AT4 versions of the Sierra, Acadia and Sierra HD already, that leaves the Canyon, Terrain and Yukon waiting their turn for the procedure. During a press even for the Sierra HD in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, GMC teased Canyon AT4 as next in line to receive upgraded off-road chops. The automaker had a camo'ed prototype Canyon AT4 in a trailer hooked up to a Sierra HD. When Sierra occupants pulled up the feed from the trailer-mounted camera on the infotainment screen, said occupants got a view of the masked midsize pickup between two walls reading, "The first ever Canyon AT4" and "Coming early 2020." The main mysteries are how extensive the pickup's AT4 transformation will be, and when it will go on sale. The AT4 kit changes depending on model. The Sierra AT4 upgraded performance and looks, with features like a two-speed transfer case, locking rear differential, a two-inch lift and Rancho monotube shock absorbers, skid plating, black-chrome grille and body-colored grill surround. The 2020 Acadia AT4 is mostly about looks, pairing standard all-wheel drive with black trim and wheels, and all-terrain tires. The Canyon's expected to weigh in on the Sierra end of the overhaul, and slide into the lineup between the SLT and top-tier Denali trims. The mods will put it beyond the current All Terrain trim being phased out across the lineup, but leave space between the Canyon AT4 and its Chevrolet sibling, the Colorado ZR2. GMC VP Duncan Aldred said, "They’re going to have different capability levels. The ZR2 is extreme capability. AT4 isnÂ’t positioned as extremeÂ… not intended to rival the ZR2." And the Colorado gets the even chunkier Bison version on top of that. The Canyon AT4 is predicted to join the lineup for the 2021 model year, so although it's "coming early 2020," it might not go on sale until much later in the year. GM's midsized pickup twins will be endowed with changes so mild that neither brand will classify the work with the term "midcycle enhancement." Figure a refining around the grille and lights and a few minor fillips otherwise. Next-generation models of the Canyon and Colorado aren't due until 2023, and there's apparently debate inside GM about an interior refresh for both trucks before then. The Terrain should mirror changes to the Acadia, and it would be a pleasant surprise to see the all-new Yukon also due in early 2020 get serious off-road teeth.

GM's labor deal with UAW union on verge of ratification

Thu, Nov 16 2023

Nov 15 (Reuters) - General Motors' tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union closed in on ratification as the votes were counted on Wednesday. Following the approval earlier in the day by more than 60% of union members at the Detroit automaker's large Arlington, Texas, assembly plant, additional votes in favor have the deal close to clinching majority approval. The number of union locals, most of which are smaller, still to report vote totals is not large. After several large assembly plants voted against the deal earlier on Wednesday, some media had reported the deal was heading toward failure. But Arlington's support, followed by strong voting in favor by smaller warehouse and parts facilities, has put the deal on the brink of approval. This would mark the first ratification of a deal, which runs through April 2028, with one of the Detroit Three automakers. Ford and Stellantis voting is still under way, and workers at both companies were favoring ratification by comfortable margins. The UAW's GM vote tracking site currently shows approval of the contract leading by a 54% to 46% margin with almost 32,000 workers having cast votes out of about 46,000 UAW-represented GM workers. The Arlington plant, with about 5,000 UAW members, has the most of any GM plant. Voting officially ends on Thursday at 4 p.m. EST, although most votes will be cast on Wednesday. The UAW went on strike for more than six weeks against the Detroit Three, seeking better wages, working conditions and cost-of-living adjustments. All three companies agreed to tentative agreements about two weeks ago. Workers at other GM assembly plants voted against the deal, including 60% of workers at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, truck plant, 53% at its Wentzville, Missouri, plant, 58% of workers at GM's Lansing Grand River plant and 61% of workers at the Lansing Delta Township plant. Seven of GM's 11 assembly plants rejected the deal. In addition to Arlington, workers at plants in Detroit, Fairfax, Kansas; and Lake Orion, Michigan; approved the agreement. Only nine facilities are still listed without vote totals on the UAW vote tracker, including GM's Lockport, New York, components plant with about 1,200 members. Those voting in favor of the agreement have a lead of almost 2,500 and many of the facilities still to come include workers who stand to receive large pay increases upon ratification.

GM releases full Super Bowl ad with GMC Hummer, Cadillac Lyriq: Take that, Norway!

Wed, Feb 3 2021

GM just dropped its big Super Bowl ad, and it’s a good one. Will Ferrell, Kenan Thompson and Awkwafina all star in the 90-second ad titled “No Way, Norway.” The point of the ad is to get Americans hyped up about the upcoming electric vehicle range on its way from GM. Both the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV star throughout, but itÂ’s less about the vehicles, and more about changing attitudes about EVs in general. Ferrell comes after Norway aggressively, but in a playful and competitive way about how many electric cars sell in the Scandinavian country. Over half of all new car sales in Norway are of EVs, whereas GMÂ’s data show that just 4% of new cars sold in the U.S. are electric. Massive financial incentives from the Norwegian government can take much of the credit for why EVs sell at such high rates over there. However, GM thinks it can still rally the U.S. to get more excited about buying EVs once its fleet of cars using the companyÂ’s Ultium battery tech comes online. The ad is done with classic Ferrell comedy, and it sure did elicit some chuckles from us. It also follows the same “Everybody In” philosophy that GM announced back when it changed up the logo a short time ago. GM is inviting folks to strap in for the onslaught of EVs coming their way (for now, you can buy a Bolt). President BidenÂ’s administration has voiced support for a number of policies and actions to take for greater adoption of electric cars in the U.S. — we also know the federal government intends to transition its full fleet of vehicles to EVs. It's still unlikely that we make it to Norway's rate of electric car sales in the immediate future, but the U.S. could certainly begin to close the gap. Related video:
