History

After the General Motors Company was founded in 1908, it soon became known as one of the largest car manufacturers in the world. In 1909, the Grabowsky Rapid Motor Vehicle Company (GMC) joined with GM. The trade name GMC Trucks was first exhibited in 1912 at the New York Auto Show and was registered with the United States Patent Office eight months later. Now known as the high-end truck-building division of General Motors, the "GMC" in GMC Truck stands for General Motors Corporation. New for 2004 : The all-new Envoy XUV is added for 2004 with a power-sliding rear roof that converts the cargo area to carry large or tall items. The XUV also includes a Midgate panel to separate the passenger compartment from the cargo area or to expand the cargo area. The liftgate will either drop or swing for access to the cargo area.
