This is an incredible truck.  8' Long Bed.  It is fully loaded, minus rear entertainment.  It has the SLT trim which includes all the amenities of a Cadillac, and gives you a Z71 suspension with the indestructible Duramax Turbo Diesel engine and Allison transmission.  The dash has been covered with a carpet mat, which has kept the dash crack and fade free.  The carpets have been covered with a set of Cabela's heavy duty all season rubber mats.  The CARFAX report below shows the service history.  They suggest it sell for over $1,600 OVER RETAIL value.  It is a California, one owner, very clean GMC truck.  No modifications for the engine, cpu, emissions, or suspension.  There are a great set of Westin running boards and a QuickHitch 5th wheel in the bed are the only aftermarket extras.  The tires are matching Load E Sentenials with equal tread life/wear.  The odometer is just over 182k miles, but looking & driving this truck, you'd think it was a very low mileage vehicle.  It has not been used for hauling heavy equipment and has an incredibly solid drivetrain.  There are no issues.  4x4 works great.  All power features work as they should.  The A/C works great.  There is little wear on the seats.  The rear seats still look new.  All of the button text is in tact and looks great.  All of the displays for the Navigation and instrument cluster illuminate as they should and have no defects.  The suspension feels great, no wobbles, noises or issues.  This is a non-smoker truck.  The brakes are responsive and have good pad life with good rotors.  The fuel filter has 85% life remaining till it's due for the next replacement.  It has been serviced routinely.  All original equipment comes with this purchase, including 2 master keys, 2 keyless remotes, books, navigation disc, booklets, misc.  The alloy wheels are free of any damage.  There is no excessive or unusual wear.  All of the detailed specs for this Sierra are listed below.  There are also pictures of the original window sticker.  This truck is ready for you to pickup in California and drive straight to Maine!  This is a very desirable color combination, on a very well-kept, rust free, fully loaded, highly desirable piece of equipment!   This is a superior deal for an educated buyer.  California residents are subject to sales/use tax and title transfer fee.  California Wholesale/Retail dealers or Non-California residents are not subject to salex/use tax or any other fees.  The winning bid/purchase price is the price you will pay.  There are no hidden fees.  Please feel free to call anytime @ 707 326 1775.  The truck can be seen/inspected in Cloverdale, CA.  Thank you for your time and interest.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

Chevy Silverado edges Ram 1500 in Consumer Reports two-truck shootout

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Forget Corvette versus Viper. When it comes to important head-to-head comparisons, fullsize trucks are where domestic automakers really care. And until the redesigned Ford F-150 makes its debut, the Chevrolet Silverado is going to have plenty to brag about thanks to a new Consumer Reports shootout against the Ram 1500.
It was a tight race among these V8-powered titans, but the all-new 2014 Silverado (and its GMC Sierra twin) barely edged out Ram's updated pickup with a score of 81 points - enough to make it the institute's top-rated fullsize truck on the market. Its narrow victory over the Ram, which finished just three points back, was due to its superior fuel economy, better towing and payload capacity and conveniences like a lower step-in height, easy-to-use tailgate and rear bumper steps that make loading and unloading less of a chore.
Importantly, CR notes that buyers with less heavy-duty truck needs might actually prefer the Ram over the Chevrolet, since its high points include a smoother ride thanks to its coil spring rear suspension, dominant infotainment system with Uconnect, and a big thumbs up for the available Hemi engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra heavy duty trucks unveiled

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Proving just how important trucks are in the Lone Star State, General Motors has chosen the State Fair of Texas to reveal its new heavy-duty trucks from Chevrolet and GMC. Looking to take some of the wind out of the sails of the 2014 Ram HD and 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, the 2015 Chevy Silverado HD and 2015 GMC Sierra HD will have plenty to brag about when they go on sale in the first quarter of next year.
The bragging starts right up front with two available engines. The standard engine is a Vortec 6.0-liter V8 that produces 360 horsepower in the 2500HD and 322 hp in the 3500HD to go along with 380 pound-feet of torque in all applications. The true benefit of this powerplant is that buyers can opt for it to run on straight gasoline, E85 FlexFuel or even compressed natural gas (CNG). For maximum towing and even more flexibility, the 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel B20-capable V8 is the way to go, with its carryover 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Though the max towing abilities of 23,200 pounds (with a fifth-wheel trailer) are less than the 30,000-pound rating of the new Ram, the GM HD trucks offer better conventional trailer towing (19,600 pounds) and payload (7,374 pounds) than rival heavy-duty trucks...for now. The Duramax is paired with a six-speed Allison automatic transmission, while the gas engine gets GM's six-speed Hydra-Matic - no manual transmissions are offered.
Including the engines, GM continues to offer a broad range of configurations (more than 150, to be exact) including three cabs, two cargo bed lengths, numerous trim levels and, of course, the choice of single- or dual-rear wheels on the 3500. The HD trucks have faces that are similar to their half-ton counterparts, with the exception of a larger grille and bigger for improved air flow, and like the current HD offerings, the new Silverado HD and Sierra HD DRW models feature a one-piece bed design incorporating the fender extensions.
