The truck&#8217;s future beyond 1992 is uncertain; GMC execs aren&#8217;t sure how the total S-truck overhaul in 1993 will change the pickup.<br>According to GMC Truck head honcho John Rock, a second hi-po truck, the Typhoon, may be available for truck magazines to test this fall. As we told you in our March &#8217;91 &#8220;Extra&#8221; section, the Typhoon will be a two-door S-Jimmy with Syclone-like performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And after the Typhoon debuts, GMC Truck will introduce the Sonoma GT, sort of a junior-varsity Syclone. The Sonoma GT will not be turbocharged, and it will not offer all-wheel-drive. It will, however, have an instrument panel and seats similar to its older brother, as well as a body-cladding package that&#8217;s similar to the Syclone&#8217;s but unique to the Sonoma GT. The best news of all, though, lies under the hood. There you&#8217;ll find a center-port-injected, high-output 4.3-liter V6, code-named L35. How high is its output? Try 200-plus horsepower and over 300 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you can bet that much of the engine&#8217;s new technology (the details of which we&#8217;ll explain as soon as we know ourselves) will carry over to the small-block V-8. Can ultra-fast versions of the full-size Sierra pickup and Yukon sport\/utility be far behind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sport-Truck-4-91.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Sport Truck 4-91.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-7cfec020-cd71-4042-ad58-b3b3ccae28c8\" href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sport-Truck-4-91.pdf\">Sport Truck 4-91<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sport-Truck-4-91.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-7cfec020-cd71-4042-ad58-b3b3ccae28c8\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sport Truck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,6,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sonoma-gt","category-syclone","category-typhoon","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2842"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3089,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2842\/revisions\/3089"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
