In this paper, based on Lax pair of Riccati form of the generalized KdV(GKdV) equation with external force term, a new auto-Darboux transformation (ADT) is derived. As the application of the ADT, only if integration is needed, a series of explicit analytic solutions can be obtained, which contain solitary-like wave solutions. This method may be important for seeking more new and physical signficant analytic solutions of nonlinear evolution equations.
