About GMC Vehicles

Vehicle Summary

With roots dating back to 1902, GMC is a longstanding vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. Originally, GMC made commercial vehicles—but today, the automaker is known not just for their commercial offerings, but their wide selection of light- medium-, and heavy-duty trucks as well as luxury SUVs. One of the brand's most popular vehicles is the full-size Sierra 1500, which offers such standard features as a 4.3L V6 engine at 285 hp, a seven-inch touchscreen, and a locking tailgate in its 2019 model year.

The GMC Yukon, a full-size luxury SUV, is another top choice; offering seating for up to nine people and standard features like a 5.3L V8 engine at 355 hp, available Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities1, and a Bose nine-speaker sound system in its 2019 model year, the Yukon is a great example of what GMC has to offer.
