Car Insurance For A GMC

GMC was originally a truck company and has roots that go back to 1901 when Max Grabowsky established the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, which developed the early commercial truck. When General Motors merged Rapid with the acquired Reliance Motor Car Company in 1911, GMC Truck and the General Motors Truck Company was born. Today, GMC still manufactures trucks, but also vans, military vehicles, and SUVS. In 2007, GMC beat out Pontiac to become GM’s second best-selling vehicle division after Chevrolet.

Interesting tidbits about GMC include the facts that in 1916, a GMC Truck crossed the country from Seattle to New York City in thirty days, the quickest trip in a truck, and in 1926, a 2-ton GMC truck was driven from New York to San Francisco in five days and 30 minutes. During World War II, GMC Truck produced 600,000 trucks for use by the army and military.

Today, in 2010, GMC is expected to sell an estimated 300,000 for the year, which makes them number nine on the list of the top ten best selling cars in America. Due to its price and recreational use, the GMC Yukon ranks as one of the more expensive cars to insure, though its injury claims are low. Other GMC vehicles are moderately priced to insure.
