GMC Truck, from a 1919 advertisement

في عام 1901 أنشأت شركة تدعى "شركة السيارات السريعة" والتى وضعت تصميم الشاحنات التجارية في مقدمتها وكانت تستخدم مركبات ذات اسطوانة واحده وذلك في عام 1906 وكانت الشركة التي اشترتها شركة جنرال موتورز تشكل الأساس لشاحنة لشركة جنرال موتورز ، من جي ام سي التي استمدت شاحنة. وقد انطلقت شاحة جى ام سى اول مره عام1912وقد انتجت 22000 شاحنة في ذلك العام وظهرت للمرة الأولى في معرض نيويورك الدولي للسيارات على الرغم من جي ام سي مساهمة هذا المجموع هو 372 وحدة فقط. وفى عام1962عبرت شاحنات جى ام سى البلاد من سياتل إلى مدينة نيويورك في خلال ثلاثين يوما و خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية ، أنتجت جي ام سي 600000 شاحنة لاستخدامها من قبل الجيش الاميركي.

جي إم سي و شفروليه

ورغم أن جي ام سي وشاحنات شفروليه في معظمها متطابقة ، فقد تنوعت الخلافات بينهما على مر السنين. في حين يتم تسويق شفروليه نحو تعميم الجمهور ، ويتم تسويق سيارات جي ام سي "مهنية" ، وأكثر توجها نحو العمل المركبات تقليديا ، وكانت GMCs مختلفة في الديكورات من Chevrolets وبصورة عامة جدا على انخفاض طفيف في الأسعار بين عامي 1962 و 1972 ، ومعظمها سيارات جي ام سي رباعي مجهزة المصابيح الأمامية ، بينما نظيراتها شيفروليه مجهزة المصابيح الأمامية المزدوجة. وابتداء من عام 1973 ، مع مقدمة من جنرال موتورز الجديدة "تقريب خط" سلسلة شاحنات شفروليه جي ام سي وشاحنات وأصبحت أكثر مماثلة ، وتنتهي في إنتاج جي ام سي رباعية نماذج الأمامي ، ووضع معيار لشفروليه / جي ام سي خط الشاحنات لأكثر من ثلاثين سنة. وخلال هذه الفترة ، وضع نماذج الشركتين (سيلفرادو / سيرا ، السترة / جيمي ، تاهو / يوكون ، الخ) على كل شيء الا يشارك الديكورات والسعر. جنرال موتورز في الآونة الأخيرة بدأت في تصميم الاختلاف بين الخطين مع عام 2007 نموذجا Silverados وسلاسل الجبال

Platform sharing with Chevrolet

1956 GMC 100

Beginning in 1920, GMC and Chevrolet trucks became largely similar, built as variants of the same platform, sharing much the same body sheetwork, except for nameplates and grilles – though their differences, especially engines, have varied over the years. GMC advertising marketed its trucks to commercial buyers and businesses, whereas Chevrolet's advertising was directed towards private owners. [citation needed] Beginning in 1928, GMCs used Pontiac's 186 cu in six-cylinder engines in their lighter trucks.[2] Medium-duty trucks relied on Oldsmobile straight-6 engines, while the heaviest trucks used GMC's own "Standard Big Brute" engine.[2] From 1939 to 1974, GMC had its own line of six-cylinder engines, first the inline sixes known as "Jimmy's" from 1939 to 1959, and then their own V6 from 1960 until 1974, of which a V8 and a V12 version also existed. Additionally, from 1955 through 1959, the less than 2-ton, domestic GMC gasoline trucks were equipped with Pontiac V8s, and Oldsmobile V8s—whereas the Canadian models used Chevrolet engines.[citation needed] GMC dealerships were partnered with Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick dealerships.[citation needed]

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 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]

اعتبارا من 2020, GMC's vehicles were marketed as more premium, luxury vehicles positioned above similar vehicles from the more mainstream Chevrolet division. Chevrolet vehicles are priced lower than a comparable GMC, but GMC vehicles have features not found in a comparable Chevrolet.[3]

In North America, Chevrolet offers a full lineup of cars, crossover vehicles, sport utility vehicles, and pickup trucks. GMC, however, does not offer any car models, so typically they are sold along Buick (or sometimes Cadillac) vehicles at multi-brand 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 and fleet vehicle markets.
