GMC Sonoma Overview

The GMC Sonoma is a compact pickup truck that was produced by the GMC division of General Motors. Introduced in the early 1980s, it was essentially GMC’s version of the Chevrolet S-10. Over the years, the Sonoma underwent various changes and served a wide array of roles, from a basic work truck to a sporty, high-performance variant.  The Sonoma was introduced in 1982 as a 1983 model. Production continued until 2004, after which it was replaced by the GMC Canyon.

The Sonoma was initially introduced as the GMC S-15, a counterpart to Chevrolet’s S-10. It was only in 1991 that the name was changed to “Sonoma”. The Sonoma received a complete redesign in 1994, which gave it a more modern appearance and better amenities. A high-performance version called the GMC Sonoma GT was produced in limited numbers in 1994, adding a sportier touch to the lineup. Engine options for this generation included four-cylinder options as well as a potent 4.3-liter V6, which was well-regarded for its power and reliability.

The Sonoma was eventually replaced by the GMC Canyon in 2004, which offered more contemporary design, features, and capabilities. The Sonoma, especially in its Syclone form, has achieved a certain cult status among automotive enthusiasts. As a whole, the truck is remembered as a versatile and dependable compact pickup.
