Check Out the Amazing 2023 GMC Lineup

If you’re looking for a fantastic SUV or truck, then GMC has you covered with a selection of the most impressive and stylish models on the road. As your GMC dealership near Corpus Christi, TX, we’re sure it’s no surprise that we’re fans of their lineup, but even with any preferences we might have aside, there’s no denying that what GMC offers is extraordinary. The beauty of their lineup is that it has been streamlined nicely to offer the perfect selection of vehicles, presenting you with excellent variety without going overboard or giving you too much to choose from. There is such a thing as too many options, after all.

That being said, you still have plenty of amazing choices available to you with the GMC lineup, so it can help to take a look at all of them and get a sense of what’s on offer. Let’s briefly go through the lineup this year to see what each of these models offers and get a sense of which one might be right for you.

Fantastic GMC SUVs

The GMC Terrain

First up is the GMC Terrain, a compact crossover model designed to perfectly meet your needs if you are looking for a smaller option that still delivers remarkable SUV functionality. GMC has made its SUV lineup simple by only having three/four models (depending on how you consider them), and this is the smallest model they make. There’s a single engine available here for sporty performance, though you still have numerous options for trim levels and the features you get inside and out. This is a two-row model with seating for up to five passengers inside, making it a terrific choice if you want something that can fit into a modest lifestyle while still giving you a spacious interior for friends and family.

The GMC Acadia

The GMC Acadia is a larger model than the Terrain, though it’s still far from the biggest SUV that you’ll find in GMC’s lineup. This is a three-row model, giving you room inside for up to seven passengers; keep in mind that the third row can be a bit small for adults with long legs. You get plenty of functional space inside this SUV, including almost 13 cu.ft. of rear cargo volume, more than 41 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the second row, and 79 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front seats. There are two engines offered on the Acadia, and we’re big fans of the available 3.6L V6 with its 310 hp for an exciting time behind the wheel.

The GMC Yukon/Yukon XL

Finally, we have two options for a full-size SUV from GMC; you can think of the Yukon and Yukon XL as two different models in terms of their size, but they offer nearly identical features and options in most other ways. No matter which one you choose, you’ll get a full-size SUV with three rows of seating inside. There are three engines available for both of the Yukon models, including a powerful 6.2L V8 with 420 hp, as well as a Turbo-Diesel if that’s something you’re interested in for your next SUV.

The major distinction between the two Yukon models is their size: the Yukon XL is quite a bit longer than the Yukon, with a longer wheelbase too. This comes through in several ways, but the easiest way to understand the difference between them is by looking at the cargo space inside. The Yukon has more than 25 cu.ft. of rear cargo space, with more than 72 cu.ft. of space behind the second row and nearly 123 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front seats. With the Yukon XL, you’ll find more than 41 cu.ft. of rear cargo space, almost 94 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the second row, and more than 144 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front row.

Powerful GMC Trucks

The GMC Canyon

First, we have the Canyon, which is a midsize pickup that’s perfect if you want something with impressive power and capability that won’t be too big. There’s no denying that full-size trucks are incredibly popular, but there can be “too much truck” for some people. The midsize Canyon comes with a 2.7L Turbo engine that delivers 310 hp, giving you impressive power packed into its modest frame. This gives the Canyon up to 7,700 lbs of maximum towing capacity and up to 1,640 lbs of payload capacity. Despite its smaller size, you can still get plenty of work done with the Canyon, plus the available AT4 trim is perfect for going off-road.

The GMC Sierra 1500

If the Canyon is not quite big enough for you, then the full-size light-duty GMC Sierra 1500 is the perfect choice. This pickup gives you more room to utilize, plus numerous engines to choose from so that it can handle as much work as you need it to. It starts with the same impressive 2.7L Turbo engine as the Canyon, but available options include a 420-hp 6.2L V8 engine and a 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel with 495 lb-ft of torque. 

With either the 6.2L V8 or the diesel engine, the Sierra 1500 can handle up to 13,000 lbs of towing, giving you fantastic power and capability to tackle just about anything you throw at it. There are tons of different trims available, so you can get just what you need, including off-road focused AT4 options and the new Denali Ultimate with incredible luxury and technology packed into it.

The GMC Sierra HD Series

While the Sierra 1500 is a fantastic truck, you might still need more power than it can offer; in which case, one of the Sierra HD models is perfect for your more challenging needs. The Sierra 2500 HD is a powerful full-size truck that can handle up to 18,510 lbs of towing thanks to its available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine with 910 lb-ft of torque. For truly extraordinary power and capability, however, the GMC Sierra 3500 HD is unbeatable thanks to an available dual-rear-wheel configuration that offers up to 36,000 lbs of gooseneck or fifth-wheel towing. Combine all that power with the luxury of the Denali trim, and you have something truly special to take to the job site.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup

Finally, we have something new and particularly exciting: the Hummer EV Pickup, an all-electric marvel that combines incredible power with exquisite sophistication to create one of the most remarkable Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) on the market. You have two different configurations to choose from, with either two motors or three motors, delivering up to 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. All of this power lets the Hummer EV Pickup go from 0 to 60 in just 3.0 seconds, while innovative technology like the Crabwalk function and Extract Mode is perfect for navigating tight quarters and getting through tough situations on the trail.

Which GMC Is Right for You?

As you can see, GMC offers a selection of some of the most impressive SUVs and trucks that you will find anywhere. Their lineup has become more remarkable over the years, with recent additions like the Hummer EV Pickup taking things to the next level. And this is only the beginning: the Hummer EV SUV model will soon join this lineup to deliver two incredible BEVs that will revolutionize the way you approach driving both on and off the road.
