There's a truth in Detroit for Ford Motor Company (F 1.53%) and General Motors, and that's that trucks are king. The dirty little industry secret, if you can call it a secret, is that full-size trucks cost only marginally more to produce than a passenger car, yet the former can sell for two to three times as much.
General Motors faces significant headwinds: declining China sales, intensifying competition, and trade tensions threaten profitability and growth prospects.
