When the GMC Syclone was introduced in 1991, GM used videos that were sent to dealerships as a training tool for the salesman. The 13-minute video covers all the key features, performance data, and promotional information about the truck. It was created as a training tool for informing potential customers on the sales floor.
It's worth mentioning that the video includes footage of two different trucks. In the first three minutes of the video, a stock-appearing production truck was used as noted by the “elephant ear” sideview mirrors. While the snow scene footage shows the truck with the electric side-view mirrors. This was never a feature or option for the 1991 production Syclone, however, was a planned item that was to be standard on the never-released 1992 Syclone.
Also noted are both trucks have black GMC letters. While it is known that PAS did install black GMC letters on the early VIN 1992 Typhoons, no Syclones were given the blacked-out GMC letters during actual production. This indicates that the trucks seen in the video are assumed to be pre-production pilot trucks and the footage filmed was done before trucks were allocated to dealerships. It it known that the 1991-92 Pilot Syclone owned by former PAS President Chuck Mountain had black GMC letters. Because this is a training video meant for dealerships and not public promotion, these details were most likely not of concern to GM.
