GMC was one of the first automakers to make its way onto the scene back in the early 1900s. It all started when Max Grabowsky, founder of Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, sold his first truck in 1902. Just two years later, he was churning out even more trucks to satisfy his clientele. It didn't take long for William C. Durant, a kingpin in the automotive industry at the time, to catch wind of this venture and, in 1909, Durant welcomed Rapid to the General Motors family of vehicles. Throughout its early years, the GMC name became well-known in the industry, showcasing a selection of trucks to help deliver goods to the masses, as well as highly capable machines like tankers, trailers, and carryall vehicles to appeal to the diverse needs of American travelers. Like many automakers of that era, GMC was also heavily involved in wartime efforts, providing a slew of durable military vehicles to aid the troops.
Fast-forward to the 1960s—GMC was thriving, showcasing an assortment of high-end trucks to satisfy the growing needs of drivers at that time. Other vehicles also began to flourish, including the Suburban Carryall, which debuted all the way back in 1935, as well as motor homes, campers, vans, and other adventure vehicles. Mini pickups came onto the scene, as well as rugged SUVs, as the legendary automaker crested into the '90s, offering drivers the diversity they needed to choose the best model for their unique travel needs.
Perhaps what really put GMC on the map was the launch of its upscale Denali models, first seen on Yukon models in the late '90s. This high-end trim not only offered immense comfort features inside pristinely laid-out cabin spaces but also luxury vibes radiating throughout, allowing those with a desire for sophistication the chance to harness this in their everyday travel. From its lineup of SUVs and trucks, the Denali can add enhanced refinement to the daily drive in new ways. Today, the GMC brand is just as respected as it's always been. Whether you're searching for an off-road ready truck to take you to Chattahoochee National Forest for a weekend adventure with friends or an everyday traveler to make your commute down Peachtree more comfortable, you'll find it in the GMC inventory.
