The truck has become like this Luxurious and expensive, they are used so often to transport families around that we overlook the fact that they were once work vehicles, whether in a quarry or lumber yard. Work is exactly what our Pick of the Day, a 1959 GMC 150 NAPCO 4X4 pickup listed by a private seller on ClassicCars.com, is for - twice. According to the seller, this 150 was "purchased new in California in 1959 for the forestry department and equipped with a Napco 4×4 system," which was an available GMC factory-installed option. This type of service can take a big toll on your truck's body, suspension, engine, and interior. At some point the man retired from the U.S. Forest Service, but even then it didn't get the job done. Luckily, it sounds like it's going to be a much less demanding job than before. The seller said the truck was used as a "perfect piece of advertising" for…

October 26, 2024 — The 2024 GMC Canyon recall involves more than 15,500 trucks whose headlights may flash while driving and while parked. GM says one or both of the Canyon's headlights may flash.

What marriage taught me about cars
Today marks my Second wedding anniversary. If you asked my wife, Eli, what it's like to live with me, she'd probably tell you that I can somehow associate anything, no matter how random, with a car. I didn't need to go out of my way to understand our shared history because we already spent so much time in a variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Through these experiences, I learned the following lessons: things have changed Photo credit: Nissan The week my wife and I went on our first date, I was testing a Nissan Titan XD with a 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. Wanting to impress her, I told her I was reviewing a new pickup truck that I could use to pick her up. She gave me the address of her apartment building and the rest is history. I didn't expect to see her there at the time, but that was nearly ten years ago. These days, women seem…
Future Collectible Car Show Fall 2024
none of us There's a crystal ball, but if we did this, what do you think it would tell us about the cars that will become collectibles in the future and the people who drive them? Barrett-Jackson has long been a supporter of the next generation of collector car owners. After all, this hobby needs to continue for decades to come. This is my story from the Future Collectible Car Show (FCCS) in January. Just nine months later, we're back at FCCS again for the Westworld Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction.

This distribution illustrates the concept that there is no right or wrong answer for year or type of car someone chooses to save and display. The reality is that, like any other material possession, a vehicle can mean very different…

Arkansas GMC Chase flips in the air, making a stunning appearance
It's unclear what the suspect's plan was, but he was taken out of the hunt with one wrong move. When officers tried to stop a driver, the van accelerated to near triple-digit speeds. The chase climaxed when the truck overturned due to being unable to turn. The driver is now facing multiple charges, including reckless driving and fleeing the scene. When people think of getaway vehicles, they probably don't think of a vintage GMC van. For one Arkansas man, it was his only option, so he did his best but ended up in jail. Before he went to jail, though, he managed to throw the van into the air and land it on its side. It's unclear what exactly he was trying to do, but now he's facing more charges than if he'd simply pulled over. The incident occurred on August 28 in Paris, Arkansas, when police officers attempted to stop a white van. As soon as they turned on…

Tesla Cybertruck starts at $100,000, more expensive than GMC
Tesla has removed the rear-wheel-drive Cybertruck from its website and increased prices on the remaining models. The model currently starts at $99,990, rising to $119,990 for the top-of-the-line Cyberbeast. Tesla also appears to have lowered its range expectations. If you've been on the fence about buying a Tesla Cybertruck, you may regret it now, as pricing now starts at $99,990.

Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled over fire risk
General Motors is recalling 8,600 trucks due to a fuel pump problem that can cause fuel leaks. July 4, 2024 — More than 8,600 General Motors trucks are at risk of fire due to fuel pump problems that cause fuel leaks.
