GM Sells More Than 800,000 Trucks

The 2019 sales numbers are in for GM, too, and they’re impressive. During the last calendar year, some 802,962 pickup trucks left dealer lots with either Bow Tie or GMC badging, while combined retail market share grew almost one full percentage point. Not surprisingly, three out of every four trucks sold were crew cabs. Light-duty crew cab sales were up 15.1-percent as compared to 2018, and heavy-duty crew cab sales were up 2.6-percent. This year, GM will increase its HD production capacity at the Flint Assembly plant by 40,000 units.
