GMC's 120-Plus Years in the Automotive Industry

GMC's story begins in the early 1900s when the Grabowsky brothers created the Grabowsky Motor Company. After a bit of restructuring and a name change to Reliance Motor Company, the company was sold to William Durant, who then renamed it General Motors Truck Company. The "Truck" part was abandoned long ago to become the General Motors Company we know today.

Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, GMC worked to build a reputation for durability and performance. The brand manufactured a variety of vehicles, including light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty types. GMC vehicles were utilized in a variety of industries, from farming to construction, demonstrating their adaptability and dependability. During World War I, GMC—like many other automotive brands—contributed significantly to the war effort by manufacturing military vehicles. This contribution strengthened GMC's reputation as a reputable vehicle manufacturer.

GMC saw innovation and growth during the 1930s and 1940s. The brand pioneered numerous improvements in vehicle design and engineering, including the invention of diesel engines. These advances improved GMC trucks' performance and economy, making them more appealing to a wider range of customers. During this time, war struck again, and GMC produced approximately 600,000 trucks for the United States Armed Forces. The experience and skills gained during the war years aided GMC's production practices and solidified its position as a premier truck maker.

The 1950s and 1960s are often regarded as the golden age of the American automotive industry, and GMC was at the forefront. The brand continued to manufacture vehicles that were at the top of its class, and it produced new models and styles to meet the expanding demand for personal and commercial automobiles.

The automotive industry faced additional obstacles in the 1970s and 1980s, such as rising fuel prices and greater environmental restrictions. GMC responded to these changes by designing more fuel-efficient engines and putting cutting-edge technologies into its vehicles. During this time, GMC introduced the now-legendary "Sierra" moniker, which became synonymous with its full-size pickup trucks. The Sierra range blended tough performance with modern amenities, appealing to drivers who planned to use their trucks for both work and play.

More significant transformations occurred between the 1990s and 2000s, as the brand concentrated on honing its identity and emphasizing its dedication to producing professional-grade vehicles. GMC added numerous new models, including the Yukon SUV and the Canyon midsize pickup truck, expanding its appeal to a wider variety of drivers. GMC also embraced technical developments, including new safety features and infotainment options in their vehicles. This emphasis on innovation has helped GMC remain competitive in a continuously changing market.

In recent years, GMC has continued to build on its reputation for dependability and innovation, including introducing electric and hybrid vehicles to demonstrate its dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility. A look at what GMC vehicles you can expect to see when visiting our dealership continues below.

GMC SUVs

GMC SUVs are intended to suit the needs of everyday drivers by providing a balance of comfort, performance, and utility. The brand also provides a variety of SUV sizes, whether you want a compact option to navigate tight streets and park with ease like the GMC Terrain or a larger SUV like the Yukon to accommodate friends and family. Whatever your needs, you'll find that the GMC lineup is designed to meet a wide range of lifestyle needs and tastes.

Performance and Handling

GMC SUVs are recognized for their powerful performance, which includes a variety of engine options, each providing the power drivers need whether their daily travels take them from home to work on the highway or they frequently haul heavy equipment for work. In addition, advanced suspension systems and all-wheel drive options improve handling and stability, allowing GMC SUVs to handle a variety of road conditions.

Comfort and Interior Space

GMC SUVs are also known for their roomy and thoughtfully designed interiors. They provide plenty of legroom and headroom, as well as flexible seating arrangements. In addition, drivers can find versions with either two or three rows, ensuring multiple options regarding capacity. Drivers will also find high-quality materials and advanced features in both technology and safety, combining to provide increased confidence and a comfortable driving experience.

Cargo Capacity

When choosing an SUV over another type of vehicle, the reasoning often boils down to not just passenger capacity but also cargo capacity. The GMC SUV lineup shines here as well, providing ample cargo room, particularly in larger models such as the GMC Yukon and Acadia, which feature fold-flat rear seats that allow for easy cargo flexibility. This makes GMC SUVs ideal for transporting groceries, sporting equipment, baggage, and whatever else you might need the extra room for.

Fuel Efficiency

One drawback of larger SUVs in the past has been their decreased fuel efficiency. GMC has countered this by ensuring fuel-efficient engines are available in its lineup. Additionally, as mentioned above, it offers electric options for drivers to consider in both its SUV and truck lineups.

Durability and Reliability

As mentioned when exploring GMC's history, the brand has long focused on manufacturing vehicles that are both durable and dependable. This means that their SUV lineup is ready to tackle whatever drivers need, whether it's withstanding the challenges of everyday driving, hauling large loads consistently, or navigating rough roads and weather conditions. In addition, you can rely on our skilled technicians to keep your GMC SUV running for a long time.

Customization Options

GMC also offers a variety of trim levels and personalization options, allowing drivers to select the features and conveniences that best suit their needs. From basic models to deluxe upgrades, there is a GMC SUV to suit every budget and preference. Our team can explore these package options with you to ensure you get the ones that best match your needs.

GMC Trucks

GMC's truck lineup is as varied as its SUV offerings. Additionally, like their SUVs, GMC trucks are well-known for their durability, performance, and advanced technology, making them suitable for both commercial and personal use.

Durability and Reliability

GMC trucks are built tough. Not only are they made from high-quality materials, but they also have heavy-duty frames with reinforced bodies to ensure they can withstand harsh conditions, whether on the job site or in rugged terrain. This resilience translates into a dependable truck suitable for whatever everyday drivers need.

Performance and Capability

GMC trucks come equipped with powerful engines that deliver exceptional performance. Like the SUV lineup, the GMC truck lineup offers a variety of options to meet varied driving needs, ranging from the GMC Sierra 1500 to the heavy-duty GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD models. These vehicles can haul large loads and have excellent off-road capabilities, not to mention well-designed interiors, making them perfect for drivers who want to use their trucks as their everyday vehicles.

Comfort, Technology, and Safety

Despite their robust design, GMC trucks do not sacrifice comfort. The interiors are created with high-quality materials and include amenities that improve the driving experience. GMC trucks also provide comfort for drivers and passengers, with large cabins, supportive seating, smart infotainment systems, touchscreen screens, smartphone integration, and premium audio systems. GMC trucks also include modern safety systems to safeguard drivers and passengers, giving you maximum confidence on the road.

Versatility

GMC vehicles are available in a variety of configurations to fulfill different demands. Whether you need a vehicle for heavy-duty work, off-road activities, or family transportation, GMC offers customizable alternatives with various cab sizes, bed lengths, and trim levels. This adaptability means that any driver can find a GMC truck that meets their individual needs. If you're curious about the various packages and design options, our team can review them with you so you have the details you need to make an informed decision.

Shop New GMC Models

One of the main benefits of purchasing a new vehicle is getting the newest technology available. Modern technologies that increase safety and convenience are standard on GMC trucks and SUVs, including the following:

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

You can find options in the GMC lineup that offer blind-spot monitoring, automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance. These systems contribute to safer driving by lowering the chance of collisions.

Infotainment Systems

With capabilities like hands-free calling, music streaming, navigation, and more, the newest infotainment systems integrate seamlessly with smartphones. It has never been simpler to stay connected on the road thanks to larger touchscreens that are user-friendly and streamlined for more efficiency.

Fuel Economy

New vehicles frequently have a higher fuel economy, which is significant if the GMC SUV or truck you use is your everyday vehicle.

Dependability

Another benefit of purchasing a new vehicle is the guarantee of dependability. New cars are less likely to need emergency repairs and have manufacturer warranties that last for several years and cover a variety of vehicle components.

Personalization Choices

Purchasing new enables you to select the precise features you desire. This means you can find the vehicle that suits your needs and tastes in everything from the engine type and additional equipment to the outside color and inside materials. This degree of customization guarantees you get what you want without sacrificing anything.

Financial Incentives

For those purchasing a new car, there are often specialized financing options, incentives, and rebates. For instance, a new vehicle might be more affordable thanks to special financing rates or cash rebates. As you can see, there are many advantages to buying a new car, from the newest technology and enhanced safety features to the assurance that reliability and warranties offer. Our new inventory can be found online if you prefer to shop from home, or you can visit our dealership to talk with a team member about your vehicle needs.

Shop Used GMC Vehicles

Just like when purchasing new, there are benefits to shopping used. Of course, the most obvious benefit is the lower initial cost. In addition, within the first few years of ownership, new cars lose significant value due to rapid depreciation. In other words, you can get more car for your money and prevent this initial depreciation by choosing a used automobile. Other benefits of buying a used GMC vehicle are listed below:

Lower Insurance Premiums

Compared to new cars, insurance rates for used cars are typically lower. Over time, this can result in significant savings, which makes buying a used automobile a more affordable option.

More Choices

You'll find a large inventory of used GMC SUVs or trucks when shopping with our team. This means you have a better chance of finding a vehicle that best meets your requirements and tastes.

More Features for Your Budget

You might also find that you get more features for your budget. For instance, you may be able to afford a top-tiered used vehicle with all the bells and whistles that would have been out of your price range if you purchased a new one. Just like purchasing a new car, buying a used one also has its advantages. By taking these benefits into consideration, you can make an informed choice that fits your lifestyle and budget.
