If you demand total steering compliance from a tow vehicle, along with stability and maneuverability from what's being towed, the GMC Sierra Denali with Quadrasteer is just the ticket. Developed jointly by GM and Delphi Automotive Systems, Quadrasteer (a rear-wheel-steering system for trucks) is a standard feature on the '02 Sierra Denali pickup and soon to be on other full-size GM products. By using various sensors around the vehicle, a microprocessor computes the correct rear-wheel position and actuates an electric motor to turn it accordingly.  Below 45 mph, the rear wheels can steer up to 12 (left or right). At these speeds, the rear wheels turn in the direction opposite the fronts. Above 40 mph, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the fronts to significantly limit the pivoting a trailer feels at the hitch. Forty-five mph is a neutral zone, where the rear wheels maintain a fairly straight-ahead position even when the front wheels are turned. When in the 4WS Tow Mode (recommended for towing), the speed of the neutral zone is reduced by the microprocessor to 25 mph. Visually, rear-wheel turn appears modest, but the amount they do turn yields dramatic performance dividends. The Sierra Denali, with its Vortec 6000 V-8 and strong all-wheel-drive system, is capable of towing up to 10,000 lb. Hitching the Sierra Denali to a Holiday Rambler Alumascape travel trailer, we set out to test the setup. With the Alumascape having a dry weight of just under 5000 lb and a hitch weight of about 500 lb, we augmented our tow setup with a load distribution hitch and a sway-control device. We also added an electronic brake controller that actuates the trailer's electric brakes when the brake pedal is applied. Fully prepared, we headed up California Highway 74, which begins at sea level and climbs and winds a few thousand feet up before plunging down the backside of some rough desert mountains to Lake Elsinore below. 
The trailer tracked well, exhibiting minimum trailer sway, and, with the exception of being visible in the side mirrors, for all intents and purposes its presence was transparent to us. Powering through mountain esses and tight hairpin turns, this twosome exhibited good synergy. Returning via the Interstate, we found that transitioning from one lane to another at freeway speeds was noticeably quicker and smoother, yielding less trailer sway than when we duplicated these same maneuvers using the 2WS Mode. Standard features of the Sierra Denali include a Vortec 6000 that develops 325 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. Standard is a full-time all-wheel-drive system that employs a viscous coupling center differential in the transfer case that senses slippage front and rear and provides torque as needed, where it's needed. All by itself, this improves towing performance, especially under slick-surface conditions. The heavy-duty Dana 60 rear axle features a 4.10:1 ratio and a 9.8-in. ring gear (standard for the 1/2-ton Sierra is an 8.6-in. gear). The transmission is GM's newly revised and strengthened four-speed automatic

2018 GMC Yukon Denali gets a sculpted new grille

Wed, May 24 2017

More than half of all GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models sold wear top-level Denali trim. That's a profitable scenario for the automaker, so, perhaps above all else, GMC needs its premium Denali series of vehicles to continue to stand out in a line of trucks and SUVs at the dealership lot. Hence, chrome, and lots of it. But for 2018, GMC is blessing the behemoth Yukon Denali with an added dose of class with a new multi-dimensional grille. "The new grille, which is flanked by HID headlamps and LED Signature Lighting, advances the design legacy established with the very first Yukon Denali in 1999," said Matt Noone, director of Global GMC Exterior Design. In addition to a sophisticated new look, the grille adds customizable cooling capabilities to the Denali range. Active shutters open when additional cooling is needed, or close to reduce aerodynamic drag when the engine isn't too warm. Further increasing the efficiency of the big brutish 'ute is a new 10-speed automatic transmission. That's two extra gears over the 2017 Yukon Denali, leading to a numerically lower final drive to help save fuel at highway speeds. Inside, Mastique Ash wood trim differentiates the 2018 model from previous years. A 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine remains standard for 2018, as do blingy 20-inch wheels with 22 inchers optional.

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.
