GMC currently makes [[Sport utility vehicle|SUV]]s, [[pickup truck]]s, vans, and light-duty trucks. In the past, GMC also produced [[Fire apparatus|fire trucks]], [[ambulance]]s, heavy-duty trucks, [[military vehicle]]s, [[motorhome]]s, transit [[bus]]es, and [[Truck classification#Medium duty|medium duty truck]]s. While many of their vehicles are mechanically similar, GMC is positioned as a premium offering to the mainstream [[Chevrolet]] brand, and includes the luxury trim [[GMC Denali|Denali]]. In [[North America]], GMC vehicles are almost always sold alongside [[Buick]] (another premium brand) vehicles at multi-brand [[Car dealerships in the United States|dealerships]]. == History == Roots to the GMC brand can be traced to 1900, when the "Grabowsky Motor Company" was established<ref name="auto">Steven Rossi, Antique Automobile, Vol. 85 no. 5, September/October 2021, p. 34</ref> by brothers Max (1874-1946) and Morris Grabowsky,<ref name="auto"/> in Detroit, and renamed [[Rapid Motor Vehicle Company]] in 1902 when the brothers moved operations to [[Pontiac, Michigan]]. In 1909, [[William C. Durant]] gained control of Rapid Motor Vehicle Company and made it a subsidiary of his [[History of General Motors|General Motors Company]]. In 1911, General Motors formed the "General Motors Truck Company" and folded Rapid and [[Reliance (automobile)|Reliance Motor Car Company]] (another early commercial vehicle manufacturer that Durant had acquired in 1908) into it. In 1912, the Rapid and Reliance names were dropped in favor of "GMC". All General Motors truck production was consolidated at the former Rapid Motor [[Pontiac West Assembly|Plant 1]] in Pontiac, Michigan.<ref>{{cite web |title=The First Century of GMC Truck History |url=https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/historical-brochures/GMC/100_YR_GMC_HISTORY_MAR09.pdf |website=GM Heritage Center |publisher=Donald Meyer |access-date=18 September 2018}}</ref> GMC maintained three manufacturing locations in Pontiac, Michigan, [[Oakland, California]], and [[St. Louis, Missouri]] {{when|date=June 2023}}.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} [[File:Gmc trucks 1920 ad.jpg|thumb|left|170px|1920 GMC advertisement]] In 1916, a GMC truck crossed the country from [[Seattle]] to [[New York City]] in thirty days, and in 1926, a 2-ton GMC truck was driven from New York to [[San Francisco]] in five days and 30 minutes.

GMTC provided a total of 8,512 trucks to the U.S. government during the war years and earned a [[Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army)|Distinguished Service Award]].<ref>{{cite web |title=GMC's Centennial 1921-2012 |url=http://www.trucktrend.com/features/163-1302-gmcs-centennial-1912-to-2012 |website=Motortrend |date=21 December 2012 |publisher=Motor Trend Group LLC |access-date=20 September 2020}}</ref> During the [[Second World War]], GMC Truck produced 600,000 trucks for use by the [[United States Armed Forces]]. In 1923, GMC trucks were exported to Japan to help recovery and reconstruction as a result of the [[1923 Great Kantō earthquake|Great Kantō earthquake]], and the company continued to provide vehicles as the transportation infrastructure was rebuilt. Before the earthquake struck, most of Japan's transportation of commerce and people was by wooden carts and government owned railroads, which were severely damaged when the train tracks were twisted beyond use. Autonomous trucks were much more effective at traveling to heavily damaged areas.<ref name="autonews.com">[https://www.autonews.com/article/20080331/OEM02/303319962/yanase-opened-japan-to-western-cars Yanase opened Japan to Western cars], ''Automotive News'', March 31, 2008</ref> [[File:Standard Oil Crown Gasoline GMC Model K52 truck 1925.jpg|thumb|A "Crown Gasoline" (Crown Central Petroleum)'s General Motors truck Model K52 in 1925]] In 1925, GM purchased a controlling interest in [[Yellow Coach]], a bus and taxicab manufacturer based in Chicago, Illinois which was founded by [[John D. Hertz]]. The company was renamed Yellow Truck & Coach Manufacturing Company (YT&CMC), an affiliated subsidiary of [[General Motors]]. All manufacturing operations of General Motors Truck Company were placed under YT&CMC. In 1928, Plant 2 opened and all headquarters staff moved to the administration building at 660 South Boulevard E in Pontiac, MI. In 1943, GM purchased the remaining interest in YT&CMC and renamed it GMC Truck and Coach Division.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Theobald |first1=Mark |title=Yellow Coach Part 1 |url=http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/y/yellow_coach/yellow_coach.htm |website=Coachbuilt |access-date=18 September 2018}}</ref> In 1981, GMC Truck & Coach Division became part of GM Worldwide Truck & Bus Group.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} [[Bus]] production ended in May 1987 and the division name was changed from GMC Truck & Coach to GMC Truck Division. The Canadian plant (in [[London, Ontario]]) produced buses from 1962 until July 1987. GM withdrew from the bus and coach market because of increased competition in the late 1970s and 1980s.

Additionally, from 1955 through 1959, the less than 2-ton, domestic GMC gasoline trucks were equipped with [[Pontiac V8 engine|Pontiac V8]]s, and [[Oldsmobile V8 engine|Oldsmobile V8]]s—whereas the Canadian models used Chevrolet engines.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} GMC dealerships were partnered with Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick dealerships.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Between 1962 and 1972, most GMC vehicles were equipped with quad-headlights, while their Chevrolet clones were equipped with dual-headlights. The platform has been the most profitable for General Motors, as it was shared with the [[Chevrolet Blazer]]/[[GMC Jimmy]], the [[Chevrolet Suburban]] and the [[Chevrolet Tahoe]]/[[GMC Denali]]. In 1998, the platform was introduced as the [[Cadillac Escalade]]. In 1971, GMC marketed their version of the [[Chevrolet El Camino]], which was based on the [[Chevrolet Chevelle]]. Called [[GMC Sprint / Caballero|Sprint]], it was virtually identical to the El Camino, and a sport version, the SP, was equivalent to the El Camino SS. It was renamed Caballero in 1978, and remained produced alongside the El Camino until its demise in 1987. In 1973, with GM's introduction of the new "rounded line" series trucks, GMC and Chevrolet trucks became even more similar, ending production of GMC's quad-headlight models, and setting the standard for the Chevrolet/GMC line of trucks for over thirty years.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} {{As of|2020}}, GMC's vehicles were marketed as more premium, [[luxury vehicles]] positioned above similar vehicles from the more mainstream [[Chevrolet]] division.

GMC, however, does not offer any car models, so typically they are sold along [[Buick]] (or sometimes [[Cadillac]]) vehicles at multi-brand [[Car dealerships in the United States|dealerships]], allowing the same dealer to sell a full lineup of upscale vehicles, including both cars and trucks. However some standalone GMC dealerships do exist, primarily for dealers who have a focus on selling to the [[Commercial vehicle|commercial]] and [[fleet vehicle]] markets. === Other platform sharing === {{col-begin}} {{col-3}} {{multiple image | align = left | direction = | perrow = 2 | total_width = 320 | header = | image1 = 1965 Chevrolet Pick Up (32098256294).jpg | caption1 = 1965 [[Chevrolet C/K#First generation (1960–1966)|Chevrolet C10]] Pick-Up | image2 = 1966 GMC C-series pickup.jpg | caption2 = 1966 GMC C-series pickup | image3 = 1967-68 Chevrolet C-102017.5.29.jpg | caption3 = 1968 [[Chevrolet C/K (second generation)|Chevrolet C10]] | image4 = 1968 GMC Pick-Up (21397419399).jpg | caption4 = 1968 GMC K2500 Super Custom | image5 = 1976 Chevrolet K20.png | caption5 = 1976 [[Chevrolet C/K (third generation)|Chevrolet K20]] | image6 = GMC-CK-pickup.jpg | caption6 = 1975–1976 GMC C/K | footer = }} {{col-3}} {{multiple image | align = left | direction = | perrow = 2 | total_width = 320 | header = | image1 = '97-'99 Chevrolet C-K 2500 Extended Cab.JPG | caption1 = 1997–2000 [[Chevrolet C/K (fourth generation)|Chevrolet C3500]] Silverado Extended Cab | image2 = 97 GMC Sierra Pick-Up (7130038985).jpg | caption2 = 1997 GMC Sierra SLE Crew Cab | image3 = 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD.jpg | caption3 = 2005 [[Chevrolet Silverado]] Crew Cab | image4 = 2003-2006 GMC Sierra -- 02-04-2012 1.jpg | caption4 = 2003–2006 GMC Sierra Extended Cab | image5 = 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 Crew Cab 5.3L Hagerty parking lot, 6.1.19.jpg | caption5 = 2016 [[Chevrolet Silverado#Second generation Silverado / Third generation Sierra (2007–2014)|Chevrolet Silverado]] | image6 = '16 GMC Sierra Denali (MIAS '16).jpg | caption6 = 2016 GMC Sierra | footer = }} {{col-3}} {{col-end}} ==GMC models== {{Main|List of GMC vehicles}} === Light-duty trucks === {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !Image !
