GMC pickups and SUVs may not be the very best in the business, but they are undoubtedly among the coolest.

You get MultiPro tailgate, carbon fiber cargo box, Prograde trailering system with app, head-up display, rear-view camera mirror, 8-inch-diagonal GMC Premium Infotainment System with a high-resolution color touchscreen and embedded navigation that incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android phone, Bose Premium Sound System with Richbass Woofer, and…
