It's a lock that GM will sell more pickup trucks than any other automaker by year-end. It's already doing so at the midyear point when you combine Chevrolet Silverado and Colorado, and GMC Sierra and Canyon sales (we'll have a more detailed midyear sales report focused on pickups later). However, in the world of commercial vans, Ford is the top dog.
We pay attention to commercial vans — especially full-size and compact models — because they do work like a pickup truck. They're designed and built for a different kind of customer and purpose, but we respect their function-over-form DNA and their incredible versatility. Most of the vans sold in the U.S. offer practical cargo and comfort-oriented passenger models, much like today's pickups.
