GM Puts Vehicles to the Test

GM Performance Tests

When it comes to developing high performance vehicles, there are a lot of factors that come into play. Once the vehicle is designed are created, there is still work to be done. Automotive companies must test these vehicles to make sure that they are able to handle any driving condition. It is important for car companies to ensure that their vehicles are safe and can perform in a variety of conditions. Let’s explore what kind of GM performance tests that GM vehicles go through.

One of the many tests GM vehicles go through is the Milford Road Course that was developed under the leadership of Bob Lutz, the former GM vice chairman. The course is 4.5 kilometres long and includes 17 turns, each designed to test a specific performance requirement. There is also a straightaway that lets GM test vehicles at speeds above 240 km/h. The course helps test handling, steering, braking and more. Driving these tracks is a very small but vital part of the testing process.

This year is the 90th year of the Milford Road Course. This course helps ensure that GM vehicles are the best in the world. The performance testing uses professional drivers and expert engineers to determine the results of the test drives. Engineers work hard to prove that these vehicles are ready to hit the road in the real world. While testing used to be about whether or not the vehicle could make to from one point to another, the tests now make sure that the journey is exciting as well as efficient.

If you want a first hand look at the vehicles that have passed these test with flying colors, visit us at Craig Dunn Motor City. All of our vehicles are road ready. Schedule a test drive and see which Chevy, Buick or GMC vehicle is the right choice for your driving needs.

The Duramax Diesel is Available on the 2017 Sierra HD

2017 GMC Sierra HD Duramax Diesel

Remember how we wrote that the 2017 Chevy Silverado HD was getting a new turbo-diesel engine that promises to offer even more power, torque and handling? Well, we have even better news for folks who love the refined quality of the GMC brand! The new 2017 GMC Sierra HD Duramax Diesel is the same powerful engine featuring the same advantages! Keep reading for details.

Read More: Elite Towing Features on the GMC Sierra

Power and Torque on the 2017 Sierra HD Diesel

The redesigned 2017 GMC Sierra Duramax diesel engine will be able to deliver even better horsepower and torque for the new year, which can mean even more confident towing with better fuel economy. This 6.6-litre diesel V8 will be able to deliver an SAE-certified 445 horsepower and a net torque of 910 pound-feet. That is a huge increase from the 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque which was available on the 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD.

We are anticipating that this increase in power and torque will lead to an increase in towing power as well. The current Sierra 2500HD can tow up to 8,165 kg with fifth-wheel towing and 6,577 kg with conventional towing.

Segment Firsts on the Diesel 2017 Sierra HD

In addition to the inherent advantages of diesel fuel, the new 6.6-litre V8 Duramax will offer several other benefits. It will be available with B20 bio-diesel compatibility and Digital Steering Assist, as well as a new full-length damped steel oil pan and rocker/fuel system treatments that will contribute to a huge reduction in engine noise.

2017 GMC Canyon Canadian Release Date

The new 2017 GMC Canyon will be available in Canada starting in the fourth quarter of this year. In addition to the standard trims that were available on the 2016 GMC Canyon, the 2017 model of this midsize truck will be available in the elite Denali trim and the off-road optimized All Terrain X model which has first appeared on the GMC Sierra.

We’ve covered more information about these two specialty models in our previous post about the 2017 GMC Canyon release date.

The 2017 GMC Canyon will also be available with a new 3.6-litre engine and advanced eight-speed automatic transmission. Featuring advanced fuel-saving technology like continuously variable valve timing, Active Fuel Management (also known as cylinder deactivation) and direct injection, this powertrain should be able to deliver excellent low fuel-consumption numbers while also delivering premium towing and hauling. This engine and transmission should be able to tow up to 3,175 kilograms, which comes second in the segment only when compared to the Duramax diesel engine also available on the 2017 GMC Canyon.

We believe that this same efficient and powerful new transmission and engine combination should also be available on the 2017 Chevy Colorado. For more information on the 2017 GMC Canyon Canadian release date and new features, contact Craig Dunn Motor City.

What is the Best Ice Fishing Vehicle?

Winter is just around the corner, and it’s the prefect time to start putting together your ideal gear for those great winter activities like ice fishing. But what is the best ice fishing vehicle? Depending on what you are looking for (and how much you are willing to spend) will determine the sort of transportation you take into the great frozen fishing adventure.

While many folks may opt to tackle on their own two feet (hopefully aided by skis or snowshoes) others may want to haul a little more creature comforts out onto lake. While plenty can be said for toughing out the cold for that perfect winter-caught fish, it’s also nice to have a place to warm up. Here are a few features to look for in the ideal ice-fishing machine.

Preparing for winter? Check out our Winter Tire Program

Four-Wheel Drive on Ice

person skiing excitedly on a slope
One certainty about snow and ice is that it’s slippery, so be sure and stay safe out there. Four-wheel or all-wheel drive offer greater traction on all terrains. Pickups and sport utility vehicles  are probably your best bet. And if you can fit the vehicle with sleds or chains for even better traction that would offer even greater safety.

Space for your Ice Fishing Supplies

No matter how minimalist you enjoy your ice fishing adventure, you’re always going to need a few things. From basics like your rod, fishing line, and ice auger to extravagances like a mini-grill to prepare a hot snack while you are out on the ice, you’re going to want somewhere to store your stuff. A pickup truck like the 2016 Chevy Silverado or 2016 GMC Sierra has plenty of space for all your stuff and a nice high ride for getting over those snow drifts as well.

Warm Cabin to keep the chill off your bones

If you’re the sort of tough soul who just wants to get out there, a smaller vehicle like a snowmobile might be enough to get you to the best fishing grounds, but if you are going to be out for long periods of time it’s nice to have a place to warm up. Really any truck or SUV will work as long as your heater works (and if it doesn’t our service department would be happy to fix it for you). If you’re really ambitious (and daring) you can even cut a hole in the bottom of your vehicle (hopefully a very low-priced used truck) and fish on the lake without ever needing to leave the comfortable interior.

With whatever vehicle you choose, be sure the ice is solid enough to take the weigh of you, your truck and supplies. Happy fishing!
