General Motors Opens 2025 As King Of Big Truck Sales
Teamwork makes the dream work.
General Motors finished the first quarter of 2025 with the largest number of big truck deliveries in the U.S.
The automaker’s Chevrolet and GMC brands combined for 208,255 light, heavy and medium duty full-size truck deliveries, including EVs, compared to Ford’s 193,200.
The figures exclude SUVs, but count chassis cabs. Even adding the 9,679 van-based E-Series Ford delivered to the total keeps GM ahead. GM does not break out Hummer EV numbers between the pickup and SUV, so we left them out, but the total for the two was 3,479. Meanwhile, Toyota delivered 35,550 of its Texas-made Tundra full-size pickups, which is its largest truck.

GM’s midsize trucks, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, also outsold the Ford Ranger 34,952 to 14,913, but the smaller Ford Maverick racked up 38,015 deliveries, including a record 19,008 in March. All of these small models were handily outsold by the Toyota Tacoma, which accounted for 59,825 deliveries while the Nissan Frontier and Honda Ridgeline slipped into the midsize list in fourth and fifth with 14,481 and 10,951 sales, respectively. The Alabama-built Hyundai Santa Cruz that is the Maverick’s only head-to-head competitor could only muster 6,648 deliveries.

The Maverick and Tacoma are both exclusively built in Mexico, so their continued success will largely be determined by President Trump’s upcoming tariff plan. The full-size GM trucks may also be directly affected, as they are built in all three North American countries, while all of Ford’s F-Series models are assembled in the U.S.
Ram and Jeep’s parent company Stellantis had not yet released its quarterly results at the time this story was published.
