Tomorrow (December 13, 2012), GMC will unveil the all-new 2014 Sierra full-size pickup. The truck is the latest in a bloodline stretching over 111 years. Before the GMC badge was born, its predecessor Rapid was churning out Detroit's first commercial trucks. The brainchild of Max Grabowsky, Rapid lead the way for GMC's legacy of design and engineering innovation. Since then, GMC has set trends and industry standards becoming a staple on American roads and a symbol of American ingenuity and hard work.

In preparation for the new Sierra, we take a ride through GMC history in 11 trucks.
