Ford is GM's closest rival in the United States, selling trucks, SUVs and EVs to the same buyers and dealers, with the F-Series fighting the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra for the profitable full-size pickup customer.
Tesla holds by far the largest share of US electric-vehicle sales, the segment where GM is investing to place Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC electric models with the same buyers.
Through Ram, Jeep and Chrysler, Stellantis competes for the same North American pickup and SUV buyers that generate most of GM's profit, and for the same dealer network and fleet contracts.
Toyota is the second-largest seller of light vehicles in the United States and takes GM head-on in mid-size and full-size SUVs, pickups and hybrids in the country GM depends on most.
Honda sells crossovers and mid-size vehicles to the same mainstream American households that buy Chevrolet and Buick, and ranks just ahead of Stellantis in US volume.
Hyundai, with Kia and Genesis, has been gaining US share with crossovers and electric models priced against Chevrolet and Cadillac, and competes with GM in several emerging markets as well.
