Sierra or Yukon
Answer:
GMC
Hint:
This brand’s trucks share names with mountain ranges and northern territories.
Explanation:
This clue names two vehicle models—Sierra and Yukon—that are both made by the same automaker. Instead of asking for the type of vehicle, it’s hinting at the brand behind them, which is GMC (General Motors Truck Company). The trick is recognizing that both names belong to GMC’s lineup rather than focusing on the models themselves. It’s a straightforward example of a clue where the answer ties the examples together.
