About This Quiz
Ready to hop in and take this quiz for a spin? It's time to see if you can tell your GMCs from your Fords and your Fords from your GMCs! We're heading across the good ol' US of A with this Ford or GMC picture quiz!
It may be hard to believe, but both Fords and GMCs have been around for more than a century! Ford was founded in 1903, while General Motors Company came just five years later in 1908. Though GMC has been through a few name changes over the years, a Ford is a Ford is a Ford! But no matter what, these two brands have built some of America's top-selling vehicles, particularly trucks and SUVs. Do you drive one? Surely you know someone who does!ÂÂ
Because they are so widely seen, we're sure you'll have an eye for the top-sellers in this quiz ... but are you car-buff enough to recognize some of the models that were only around for one year? Only the wisest American car enthusiast will be up for this challenge. Think that's you?
It's time to gas up, load in, and head to the great state of Michigan. From Detroit to Dearborn, it's time to see if you know ... is it a Ford? or is it a GMC?!
