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.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

2017 GMC Canyon steals Cadillac's V6 for a little more power

Mon, Aug 29 2016

GMC is fortifying the Canyon with a new powertrain and two new trim levels for 2017. GMC will give the Canyon the 3.6-liter V6 found in the Cadillac ATS, CTS, CT6, and XT5 crossover. The engine will be matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which also can be found on Cadillacs, the new 2017 Colorado, and other General Motors vehicles. The new engine comes with variable valve timing, improved direct injection, and Active Fuel Management, which is a form of cylinder deactivation that shuts off two cylinders to increase fuel efficiency and performance. Power is up from 305 to 308 horsepower, while torque increases from 269 to 275 pound-feet of torque compared to the old 3.6-liter V6. With the new transmission, the Canyon benefits from a higher first gear ratio, which should help drivers get off the line more easily when towing large cargo, and lower overdrive ratios for improved fuel efficiency. The 2016 model had a six-speed automatic. The Colorado also gets the eight-speed transmission for '17. GMC previously announced the All Terrain X and Denali models. The All Terrain X trim is offered on the SLE model and comes with the new 3.6-liter V6 engine or the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel. The All Terrain X gets Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac P225/65R17 all-terrain tires, a body-color grille surround and matching rear step bumper, bespoke 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a spray-on bedliner. The truck also is fortified with Hill Descent Control and an off-road suspension. The Denali carries the flag as the most luxurious Canyon model and gets a Bose seven-speaker audio system, more chrome, and interior upgrades. In addition to the new models and the powertrain, the 2017 Canyon will be offered with new colors – Dark Slate Metallic, Mineral Metallic, and Red Quartz Metallic – a new IntelliLink radio with a seven-inch touchscreen, a heated steering wheel as an optional extra, and Standard Teen Driver Mode. The 2017 Canyon, with all of its changes, will be available in the fourth quarter of the year.
