My truck is a Chevy but there are also GMC's out there. You heard correct that they (GM) is no longer manufacturing the medium truck series. It is a shame because they sold a zillion of these (well not exactly like mine but box trucks, roll back, tow trucks, etc). I heard they had to stop making these as a result of becoming Government Motors.
I bought my 2008 brand new at the end of 2009. It was a bare cab and chassis and didn't look ANYTHING like what you see in the photo. I had it upfitted by a shop that specializes in medium duty custom trucks in Texas. Believe it or not there are still new, left over 2007, 08 and 09's out there. Mostly on dealer lots. You have to look for them but there are still a few left. I have towed campers and other stuff for many years . . . this truck is a dream to tow with. It truly handles the weight and size of the camper. If I didn't have this I would be trying to figure out how to afford an FL70.
