The 1986 GMC Pickup: before you buy
No 1986 GMC Pickup is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. The 1986 GMC Pickup for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the specs mean
The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.2 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $52.08 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the Pickup
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
Try before you buy
Rent the Pickup first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Pickup answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
Within the 1986 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
