The GMC Canyon is a mid-size pickup truck launched by General Motors in 2004 and was introduced as the Colorado in GM’s Chevrolet stable. The pickup’s design was a joint effort among the North American and Brazilian operations of GM and Isuzu which marketed its own version called the “i-Series” starting from late 2005.
Assembly of the GMC Canyon and the Chevrolet Colorado was tasked to GM’s plants in Shreveport, Louisiana and in Rayong, Thailand. The pickup trucks have options for either manual or automatic transmissions, as well as rear-wheel or four-wheel drive trains. A 2.8L engine (2770 cc, 169 cu in) is standard to most of the early models.
The four-door Z71 GMC Canyon variants, however, sport a more powerful 3.5L (3460 cc, 211 cu in) L52 engine, and come equipped with a standard four-speed automatic transmission. In 2007, new engines went into the Canyon/Colorado pickups. These included the 2.9L (2923 cc, 178 cu in) for the LLV 14 package and the 3.7L (3653 cc, 223 cu in) for the L5R 15.
The GMC Envoy first appeared in the General Motors lineup in 1998 as a luxury variant of the sports utility vehicle (SUV) Jimmy which was eventually phased out in 2001. The Envoy reappeared in 2002 as a stand-alone SUV model.
It still utilized the platform from the Jimmy’s clone in the GM Chevrolet lineup, the Blazer. However, the GMC Envoy had different interior and exterior designs. In 2002, Motor Trend magazine named the Envoy its Sports/Utility of the Year. For 2002, the SUV sported a 275tq straight-6 Vortec 4200 engine with a 270 hp (201 kW) power rating which was boosted a bit to 275 hp (205 kW) in the 2003–2005 versions.
In 2006, the rating was further increased to 291 hp (217 kW) following a revamp of the SUV’s straight-6 Vortec 4200 powerhouse which has been cited as one of the world’s best engines from 2002–2005. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard to all GMC Envoy models.
The first GMC Jimmy rolled off the roads in 1970 when General Motors produced its own version of the K5 Blazer, the smallest full-size SUV (sports utility vehicle) in the GM Chevrolet lineup. Like the Blazer, the Jimmy is based on the short wheelbase trucks produced by General Motors. Buyers have the option for either a rear-wheel or four-wheel drive Jimmy model.
The early Jimmy models were convertible with removable tops but this feature was abandoned when the SUVs were redesigned in 1992. These new variants were offered in two- and four-door versions, either with rear-wheel or on-demand part-time four-wheel drive.
The permanently engaged four-wheel drive GMC Jimmy models were introduced in 1995. These SUVs have smaller variants, the mid-size S-15 Jimmy models which were so named because their platforms were based on GMC S-15 pick-up trucks. Unlike the early variants of their larger kin, the S-15 versions did not have convertible tops and were available only in two-door body styles.
The GMC Safari is General Motor's version of the Chevrolet Astro. Both are rear-wheel drive minivans launched in 1985 (but an all-wheel drive option was introduced in 1990), and are designed for use as standard passenger vehicles or cargo vans.
The Safari has also been favored by some converters for small conversion vans. Buyers have the option for rear-wheel or all-wheel drive models. These vans come in one body length, could seat up to eight passengers, and are available with a passenger-side sliding door.
Transmission is automatic and the vehicles are equipped with tow/haul mode. With the appropriate equipment, the GMC Safari could pull 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) because of its truck-based power train, the only minivan model to be so designed. Engine choices depend on options and model year, ranging from 145 to 190 hp (108 to 142 kW) 4.3L V6 powerhouses. Standard to all models antilock four-wheel disc brakes.
General Motors introduced the GMC Savana in 1996 as its entry in the full-size van market along with its counterpart in the GM Chevrolet lineup, the Express. Different only in trim details, both vans are popular as workhorses, used as utility vehicles by electricians, plumbers and other service providers who need to lug along large or bulky equipment.
The Savana likewise works as a passenger vehicle with models that could accommodate from eight to 15 people, making the van a popular choice as a shuttle bus, ambulance or school transport. The sheetmetal of the Savana was updated after 2003, using material similar to that used in the GMT800 SUVs and light trucks.
The vans were also rigged with LS engines. All the passenger vans were equipped with Stabilitrak (stability control) in 2004. Further enhancements in 2008 saw an updated GMC Savana interior, and side impact roof airbags became a standard feature on all passenger models. The E85 Flexfuel Vortec 5.3L V8 engine were mounted for the 2008 work vans and passenger models.
