General Motors is back to business in a big way.

The automaker sold 2.6 million vehicles in the U.S. in 2023 to claim the top spot ahead of Toyota’s 2.2 million. That marks its best result since 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic and supply chain issues cramped new vehicle sales.

Chevrolet and GMC also delivered a combined 843,000 full-size pickups.

That puts the GM twins ahead of the Ford F-Series, although Ford came out on top among individual brands with over 700,000 trucks delivered.

GM also led with overall truck sales across all size classes and with full size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade accounting for 245,000 sales. Things weren’t as rosy for GM’s burgeoning electric car business.
