Pickuptrucks.comDid not realize how many combined trucks GM sells a year. Added this year will be the silverado 4500, 5500, 6500 2018 truck sales GM 973,469Ford 909,330Ram. 536,980

Chevy Silverado truck sales were down 15% in Q1. I think the Sierra was down around 5%. Glad GM had a good year overall, but recent history isn't great.

Living just south of Detroit and being an automotive family, I'm glad they are all doing good.However, the auto industry is very cyclical. Up and down.

Zero percent financing this quickly on 1500 2019s? Doesn’t sound good to me.

Going by those 2018 numbers, GM is significantly ahead of Ford and Ram.

Never why they didn’t combine the to trucks, there basically the same from the same manufacturer. Around here GM,s are breeding like stray cats.

Last year's truck sales . GM is doing something right!

2019 GM Diesel trucks will not turn off engine until the turbo has cooled to an acceptable temperature.

I didn't know that and it seems like an excellent idea.

Like the old saying goes, The Lord invented GM so the idiots had something to drive....

All of ours ate paid for btw.

Thank for the humble brag and letting us all know they are all paid for, that was important to know...

Well I am not sure there would be a lot of humility in driving a paid off 97 Ford for most people. However everyone needs a goal in life I guess, glad he could achieve it.

Don’t forget. It had some secret special sauce sprinkled on it from the factory after the fact to make it stronger than today’s trucks....
