The unique thing about this car is that it is the one and only GMC Limo in Pakistan. Furthermore, it is 40-feet long, making it the longest Limo in the country.
Is it Easy to Drive?
The manager told us that company hires very experienced drivers for this car, and two drivers are usually present in the vehicle at a time. “One drives it, while the second helps him in maneuvering it on the local roads, especially on sharp turns,” he said.

The car has the company’s logo, tow hook, and a bed at the rear, which has AC condensers to maintain cooling inside the vehicle.
Is Length a Problem?
According to the manager, vehicle’s tyres and brake pads bear the most impact due to its extra length. “However, there is no issue in its suspension because GMC itself has installed it in this vehicle while keeping its length in mind,” the manager said.
He further said they have to change the tyres after every 40,000 kilometers while installing new brake pads after 15-20,000 kilometers.
Furthermore, the company has provided special support under the car’s body, so that its whole outlook remains unaffected.
