That’s why the Sierra 1500 was the perfect starting point for one of the automaker’s most striking concept trucks. GMC showed off the Sierra 1500 AT4 All Mountain concept at the recent Calgary Stampede event. This is a GMC model built for climbing mountains in treacherous conditions. It was equipped with a special set of Mattracks to replace its traditional tires — a modification that helps it navigate snowy terrain. Powering the Sierra 1500 AT4 All Mountain concept is a 6.2-liter V8 engine. This reliable powertrain helps the custom concept vehicle deliver 240 horsepower and an impressive 480 lb-ft of torque. The aggressive front grille boasts LED lighting and powerful headlights that can illuminate even the darkest mountain trails. For better ground clearance, this model even has a custom eight-inch lift, making this concept iteration of the GMC Sierra 1500 a fair bit taller than a traditional GMC Sierra pickup truck. The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 All Mountain concept vehicle isn’t currently available for purchase.

Cadillac CT4-V CT5-V Richard Karr Motors Car Tips Ways To Save Money On Summer Road Trips July 24, 2019 Richard Leave a comment Road trips are a fun, affordable way to take a family vacation, allowing your family to spend some quality time together in the car and on the open road. Although road trips are already more affordable than air travel, there are several ways you can cut the costs even further. Here are some ways to save money on summer road trips . Set a budget: It’s a good idea to sit down and make a budget before you hit the road. Calculate gas costs and set aside money for food and lodging. You should also determine what sightseeing spots you want to visit and calculate any associated costs. Setting a budget beforehand will help keep you on track money-wise. Pack snacks: A simple way to save money on food is to pack snacks rather than relying on off-the-road food stops. Opt for toll-free routes: Rather than spending money on tolls, check to see if there are any reasonable toll-free routes. Sometimes, these toll-free routes offer a more scenic drive. Have your vehicle serviced before setting out: A breakdown on the side of the road will cost you quite a bit of time, energy, and money, so it’s a good idea to have your vehicle checked and serviced before departing. Does your vehicle need a checkup before you hit the road? Have it serviced at Richard Karr Motors . GMC New GMC CarbonPro™ Bed: Innovative Carbon Fiber Design June 26, 2019 Richard Leave a comment GMC is delivering performance like never before with a new series of Sierra CarbonPro™ Edition trucks. Available this summer on the Denali 1500 and AT4 1500 trims, you’ll find the purpose-built GMC CarbonPro bed. It uses a state-of-the-art carbon fiber composite material to resist corrosion, reduce weight, and improve durability. By cutting unnecessary weight, this bed is works to improve driving dynamics. According to GMC , the benefits of the carbon fiber bed are multifold. First, it’s stronger than most metals, as well as scratch resistant. It also doesn’t rust, like steel, and it reduces unnecessary weight. You get more volume with this special bed design, as well as better functionality thanks to added tie-down locations. “CarbonPro is made of the same raw material found in seven-figure super cars and even aerospace applications,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global GMC. “Coupled with offering the world’s first six-function MultiPro tailgate, the 2019 Sierra packs a one-two hauling punch for whatever the situation demands.” GMC engineers have been hard at work testing the new bed to make sure it lasts. They’ve don’t drop tests, corrosion tests, extreme temperature testing, and more. Perhaps best of all, this carbo fiber bed doesn’t need a spray-in bedliner for protection because it’s so durable. Since it’s dent resistant, you also don’t need wheelhouse liners — and since it’s lighter than a metal truck bed, you can even carry an additional 59 pounds.
