Positioned in the middle of the compact pickup-truck market, the [[GMC]] [[GMC Sonoma|Sonoma]] competed with the [[Ford Ranger]] and the [[Dodge Dakota]], as well as its corporate sibling, the [[Chevrolet S-10|Chevy S-Series]] pickup. The Sonoma was available in both 2-wheel-drive and 4-wheel-drive versions, in both regular (with a short and long bed) and extended body versions. The Sonoma offered three trim levels, base, Special, and top of the line (SLE).

==Year-to-year changes==

===1993===

A special version of the SLS was the "Highrider," which offered a raised suspension, gas-pressurized Bilstein shock absorbers, tougher axles, a locking rear differential, 3.9-in. wider track plus under-body shielding that appealed to off-road enthusiasts. The base engine was a 2.2-liter inline ohv Four, and was available on 2-wheel-drive models only.

Optional engines were a 4.3-liter ohv V6 and an Enhanced high-output version of the same engine that delivered 36 more horsepower than the standard 4.3.  A 5-speed manual transmission was standard, and a 4-speed automatic overdrive was optional. A 2-speed transfer case with a floor-mounted shift lever allowed shift-on-the-fly 4wd operation. A 2-speed electric-shift transfer case was optional.

===1994===
The Sonoma was redesigned, formerly known as the "GMC S-15" pickup.
===1995===
Halfway through this model year, prices for regular cab trucks increased $125, and Club Coupe extended cabs $325.

The 1995 GMC Sonoma stood at parade rest, recovering from the rigors of the total redesign from 1994. As a result, GMC concentrated on a number of small improvements such as a driver's-side airbag and improved lumbar support on optional bucket seats. The other big news was that extended-cab models were now available after a one-year hiatus.
