Work Truck Wednesday: Heavy Deliveries Handled With Ease!

Whether it is large packages like refrigerators, washing machines, and other dry goods, or palleted cargo, there is nothing so easy to get these heavy objects from point A to point B than a stakebed with an HD liftgate. Up onto the bed and back down on the ground, this 1,600 lb. liftgate gets it there safely and with very little effort. 

Not only that, this 12' stakebed is mounted on an LCF cab chassis which makes maneuvering in the city a breeze. With only a 109" wheelbase (only 2" more than a Corvette!), this chassis handles a 12' truck bed and a liftgate like a pro. This unit also has a GM gas V8 engine for easy fuel sourcing and great acceleration too. In fact, the turning radius of this truck with a 12' bed will turn a circle inside the turning circle of the average pickup truck with an 8' bed.

What's more? This particular truck is a silly bargain! Get it while it lasts and save a bunch of money in the process!

GM Sells More Than 1 Million Crossovers Again in 2019, and Over 1 Million Full-Size Trucks

Crossover sales increase 12.7 percent for the year

2020-01-03

DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) announced today that it delivered 2,887,046 vehicles in 2019 in the United States. The total included more than 1 million crossovers for the second year in a row, an increase of 12.7 percent compared to 2018, and more than 1 million full-size pickup trucks and SUVs.

“We’ve focused our resources on what our customers want – crossovers and trucks – and that has paid off,” said Kurt McNeil, vice president, U.S. Sales Operations. “In addition to our industry-leading crossover sales, our full-size truck franchise is unmatched. We’re pleased with our full-size pickup launch and we look forward to launching our segment-leading, all-new full-size SUVs in 2020.”

Fourth-quarter North American wholesales declined an estimated 25 percent year over year, due to the 40 day United Auto Workers work stoppage. This includes the company’s newly launched heavy-duty full-size pickups, which were off approximately 17 percent.

“Our fourth-quarter stocks were leaner than we wanted, but as we get ready to launch our all-new full-size SUVs, we look forward to another solid year in 2020,” McNeil added.

Fourth-quarter customer deliveries totaled 735,909 units, down 6.3 percent year over year.

GM sold more than 1 million crossovers in the U.S. for the second year in a row

GM had its best year ever for crossovers, achieving yearly records in the compact, small and small luxury segments. Crossover deliveries totaled 1,165,769 for the year, up 12.7 percent versus 2018. The following nameplates saw the largest sales increases year over year:

• Chevrolet Trax up 29.9 percent
• GMC Acadia up 12.2 percent
• Buick Envision up 10.2 percent
• Buick Encore up 10.0 percent

The Chevrolet Traverse and GM’s best-selling crossover, the Chevrolet Equinox, both continued to grow, achieving their best-ever sales in 2019. The all-new Chevrolet Blazer mid-size SUV debuted in 2019 and gained retail market share nearly every month. Continuing this momentum, the Chevrolet Trailblazer small SUV will arrive in showrooms this Spring.

Cadillac crossovers saw strong gains in 2019, up 22.4 percent year over year, given a full year of sales of the all-new XT4, continued popularity of the XT5, and the debut of the XT6.

The Buick Encore GX will go on sale early this year.

Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickups drove the business in 2019

Combined sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra were strong, totaling 802,962 pickups in 2019, while combined retail market share grew almost one full percentage point, according to J.D. Power.

• Three out of every four full-size pickups GM sold were crew cabs.
• Light-duty crew cab sales were up 15.1 percent compared to last year.
• Heavy-duty crew cabs were up 2.6 percent year over year. In 2020, GM will increase capacity at Flint Assembly, where its HDs are built, by 40,000 vehicles annually.

• Nearly every year since 1975, GM has had the best-selling full-size truck franchise in the U.S. including full-size pickups and SUVs.

Fleet sales remain strong

• Commercial and government deliveries made up more than half the company’s fleet sales, as planned, for the third year in a row.

GM Investing $1.5 Billion in Next-Generation Midsize Trucks to be Built at Wentzville Plant

• Wentzville receiving $1 billion for upgrades
• Investment retains 4,000 good-paying U.S. manufacturing jobs
• Investment part of a strategy to invest in growth areas and strengthen U.S. manufacturing base

WENTZVILLE, Mo. — General Motors announced today plans to invest $1.5 billion to bring its next generation of midsize pickup trucks to market. GM’s Wentzville truck plant will receive $1 billion of this investment to upgrade the facility in preparation for the new products. This investment is expected to retain about 4,000 good-paying U.S. manufacturing jobs at the Wentzville site.  Specific information related to GM’s next generation of mid-size trucks is not being released at this time.

The Wentzville plant’s paint shop, body shop and general assembly areas will receive upgrades, including new machines, conveyors, controls and tooling.

“Through this investment, General Motors is making a firm commitment to the State of Missouri, the City of Wentzville and the GM Wentzville team,” said Mark Reuss, GM president. “This is part of our comprehensive strategy to invest in growth areas and strengthen our U.S. manufacturing base. GM sells more pickups than any other automaker and we have aggressive plans to build on our strengths.”

Since reintroducing the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon in 2013, GM has sold more than 700,000 midsize pickups in the U.S. The Colorado and Canyon have helped cement GM as the U.S. industry’s most successful pickup truck company for four consecutive years. From 2013 through Q3 2019, GM has sold 600,000 more pickups than any other competitor in the U.S.

GM has invested heavily in midsize trucks in recent years by bringing more product features to market, including new diesel and gas engines, new transmissions and special edition models, like the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and Bison, as well as the GMC Canyon AT4 available next year.

GM’s Wentzville assembly plant opened in 1983. The plant operates on three shifts of production and currently employs about 4,000 hourly and 330 salaried employees. Wentzville builds the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickups and Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans. Hourly employees are represented by UAW Local 2250.
