The XUV was GM's attempt at building a pick-up truck and SUV hybrid featuring a sliding rear roof section and a two-way tailgate you could swing to the side or drop down. When close, the truck worked like a SUV. When open, it was more like a pick-up truck where you could load taller objects.

In theory, the idea isn't bad. Things aren't as good in real life. The trade off is a short bed and side windows that could be broken more easily by your cargo. Buyers seemed to enjoy the added utility of the XUV. Unfortunately, GM kinda dropped the ball on the rear styling.

The rear has strong pick-up truck cues like the wide tailgate and narrow taillights. The roof section is a mess, the silver accents standing out. Body colored trims would have made a big difference. The side windows don't follow the lines of the body, adding to the clumsiness of the rear end.

You can see how narrow the opening in the roof is. The back window slides down into the tailgate to prevent breaking it.

Hey there! Keep it up! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about GMC in your area. I'm glad to stop by your site and know more about GMC.
GMC and Chevrolet trucks are virtually identical except for the grilles and nameplates, though their differences have varied over the years. While Chevrolet vehicles are sold exclusively at Chevrolet dealerships, GMC light trucks have been made available to Buick, Pontiac and Cadillac dealerships, and separate franchises exist for medium and light-duty models as well. This crossover allowed GM dealers that did not sell Chevrolets to offer full lineups of both cars and trucks by offering GMC's trucks alongside "non-truck" divisions such as the mid-range Pontiac. Between 1962 and 1972, most GMC vehicles were equipped with quad-headlights, while their Chevrolet clones were equipped with dual-headlights. In 1973, with GM’s introduction of the new "rounded line" series trucks, GMC and Chevrolet trucks became even more similar, ending production of GMC’s quad-headlight models, and setting the standard for the Chevrolet/GMC line of trucks for over thirty years. During this period, the companies' sister models (Silverado/Sierra, Blazer/Jimmy, Tahoe/Yukon, etc.) shared everything except for trims and prices. GM has recently begun a divergence in design between the two lines with the 2007 model Silverados and Sierras, which have some differences in sheet metal and style.
