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.

2021 GMC Yukon Denali adds another extra-luxe accessories bundle

Wed, May 20 2020

For the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali, GMC added a Denali Ultimate Package that combined every option already available with some 22-inch Midnight Silver rims. In 2020, GMC expanded build options for the Terrain with a Denali Premium Package, lumping together a couple of a la carte packages as an exclusive mix of features. The 2020 Yukon Denali configurator includes a lightweight Denali Premium Package, too, but for 2021 GM Authority reports the top-tier choices will expand to include an entry-level Denali Deluxe Package along with the Denali Premium and Ultimate options. The Deluxe Package checks the boxes for the Advanced Technology Package, Advanced Security Package, and the Rear Seat Media System. The long list of tech roped in with that trio includes adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking, rear camera mirror and washer, interior movement sensors, glass break sensors, dual 12.6-inch rear seat-mounted screens, two HDMI ports, and wireless projection capability. The exterior showpiece is a quartet of 22-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with premium paint, affixed with wheel locks. Go with those rims and the Denali Deluxe Package costs $5,750, opting for a different set of wheels can drop the price to $3,775. On top of that, choosing the right combination of options to go with the Deluxe Package can lower the price another $500. The Denali Premium Package includes almost everything above, only omitting the Rear Seat Media Package. In place of the screens for back-seaters, the bundle installs a powered panoramic sunroof and power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting. Purchased with the 22-inch wheels, this assortment runs $7,000, or $5,025 with a different set of wheels. Here again, the right combination of additional packages can save $500. The Denali Ultimate Package combines everything in the bundles above, plus the Max Trailering Package that gets GMC's ProGrade Trailering System and high-capacity engine cooling. The price is $10,460 on a rear-wheel drive Yukon Denali, $11,255 on the four-wheel drive models. Choosing a different wheel only saves $1,000 in this case, and there's no extra discount available. The 2021 Yukon is expected to enter production next month at GM's Arlington Plant in Texas, Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

GMC Hummer EV fan's Lego build is functional and even has Crab Mode

Tue, Jun 8 2021

Lego creates some pretty amazing automotive models, but the Lego hobbyist community sometimes does better. Evidence of that comes to us in this fully-functional GMC Hummer EV Lego Technic model spotted by Road & Track and created by YouTube user Alain B. And while it's a one-off for now, there is the possibility it could become a kit you could bring home. As you can see in the video, the model looks the part with a body that closely matches the real thing. It's an impressively solid body, too, something that's sometimes difficult to achieve with Technic pieces. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. It's also got electric motors and is remote controlled. It has four-wheel-steering that can emulate the Hummer's famous Crab Mode setup. The fully independent suspension can raise for more ground clearance. And on top of all of that, it's even got a fully operational MultiPro tailgate and front trunk. The design is also listed on the Lego Ideas page. This is the site where Lego builders can submit their creations, and if they get enough votes, they'll be considered by the company for becoming a real production kit. You can visit the page at this link to lend your support (it doesn't cost anything). That page also reveals some other neat details, including the fact that it's made of about 2,200 pieces. While enough votes will get the design to be considered by Lego, there are other factors that determine whether it makes production. Some of them include getting the license from General Motors, and other undisclosed reasoning. But Lego has done a number of large, technical and somewhat pricey kits with licensing from other companies. So this seems like a great one for the company.

GM issues 4 new recalls for 90k vehicles, Chevy, Buick, GMC affected

Fri, Jun 6 2014

One day after releasing an internal report that found a pattern of "incompetence and neglect" within the company, General Motors announced four more recalls that affect 89,126 vehicles. One of the recalls affects 31,520 vehicles that may contain a defect that could prevent airbags from deploying in a car accident. GM said it was aware of at least one crash in which a vehicle occupant sustained an injury because the airbags didn't deploy when they should have. The company said it was aware of other crashes that were similar in nature, but it is not yet known whether they're related to the condition, in which the shorting bar inside the driver's airbag may occasionally contact the airbag terminals. If the car and terminals are touching each other in a crash, the bags will not deploy. Vehicles from the 2012 model year are affected by the problem, and they include the Buick Verano, Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic. GM has conducted two previous recalls for this condition involving 7,116 cars. GM is also recalling 57,512 models of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015 Silverado HD, Tahoe and Surburan, as well as the 2015 GMC Sierra HD, Yukon and Yukon XL models because their radio control modules may not work, and thus prevent certain audible safety warnings. Certain models of the 2013-2014 Chevrolet Spark and 2013 Buick Encore are being recalled for a different airbag problem, which could prevent airbags from deploying properly during a crash. And 33 2014 Chevrolet Corvettes are being recalled for yet another airbag problem, in which an internal short circuit could disable the airbags. So far in 2014, General Motors has issued 34 separate recalls that affect approximately 15.9 million vehicles – more than the company has sold in the past five years combined. GM Announces Four Recalls DETROIT – General Motors today announced three safety recalls and one non-compliance recall, all of which were reported to the NHTSA on Thursday, June 5, 2014. In all cases, customers will receive letters from GM letting them know when they can bring their vehicles into a dealership, where all repairs will be performed free of charge and courtesy transportation would be provided as needed.
