Electric, Diesel or Gas Powered? GMC has the Pickup Truck for You!

It’s Electric!

GMC currently offers three options for Electric Vehicles (EV). In a growing market of Electric Vehicles in the United States, Liberty Buick GMC has three hard-working vehicles that can accommodate many needs.

A brief history of electric vehicles (from www.energy.gov)

“It’s hard to pinpoint the invention of the electric car to one inventor or country. Instead, it was a series of breakthroughs — from the battery to the electric motor — in the 1800s that led to the first electric vehicle on the road.”

“In the early part of the century, innovators in Hungary, the Netherlands and the United States — including a blacksmith from Vermont — began toying with the concept of a battery-powered vehicle and created some of the first small-scale electric cars. And while Robert Anderson, a British inventor, developed the first crude electric carriage around this same time, it wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that French and English inventors built some of the first practical electric cars.”

“Here in the U.S., the first successful electric car made its debut around 1890 thanks to William Morrison, a chemist who lived in Des Moines, Iowa. His six-passenger vehicle capable of a top speed of 14 miles per hour was little more than an electrified wagon, but it helped spark interest in electric vehicles.”

“Over the next few years, electric vehicles from different automakers began popping up across the U.S. New York City even had a fleet of more than 60 electric taxis. By 1900, electric cars were at their heyday, accounting for around a third of all vehicles on the road. During the next 10 years, they continued to show strong sales.”

Over the years, electric vehicles fell in and out of favor-mostly out. But in recent years, there’s been a resurgence as they’ve become more reliable as well as powerful and fun to drive. Interested in taking your truck game up a notch? The team at Liberty Buick GMC has some options for you.

The new generation GMC Hummer.

It’s doubtful that William Morrison could have envisioned a vehicle like the Hummer. The GMC Hummer EV Pickup dominates virtually any terrain with revolutionary features and capabilities. The HUMMER EV SUV combines the features of the HUMMER EV Pickup with the versatility of an SUV.

Just because these are EVs, doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on performance or power.

Hummer EV offers:

• 381 miles driving range
• 1,000 available horsepower
• 0-60 in 3 seconds
• Best-in-Class 11,5000 LB-FT of available torque
• Available CrabWalk technology

What is CrabWalk? CrabWalk is a 4-Wheel Steering setting that allows the angle of the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels up to a certain angle – the maximum angle depends on your vehicle.

Hummer SUV offers:

• 314 miles driving range
• 830 horsepower
• 0-60 in 3. 5 seconds
• Both versions offer numerous safety, technical and comfort features to make driving an adventure!

Another choice in the EV Truck Market is the Sierra EV Max Range Denali Edition.

Sierra EV Max Range Denali Edition offers:

• 440 miles driving range
• 754 horsepower
• 785 LB-FT Torque
• Fast charging-100 miles in 10 minutes!
• Electric Vehicles have much to offer under the hood and with technological advances, your new EV will be on the road for years to come.

Diesel Fueled.

What is Diesel Fuel? Diesel fuel is the common term for the distillate fuel oil sold for use in motor vehicles that use the compression ignition engine, named for its inventor, German engineer Rudolf Diesel. He patented this design in 1892.  Most freight and delivery trucks, as well as trains, buses, boats, military and farm vehicles use Diesel.

At Liberty Buick GMC, we can help you find your next vehicle! A 3.0 L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine is available on the Sierra 1500 Pickup and Yukon SUV.  Need more power? The Sierra Heavy Duty Pickup offers a 6.6L Duramax^® Turbo-Diesel V8.
