Until you look at the JD Power Quality ratings of the Ford, Ram and GMC trucks...

I'm more of a GMC fan myself than a Chevy guy. They typically are a little more upscale with nicer interiors.

My Dad never sold Chevy, but he did sell all the other GM brands in a 45 year career.
All those trucks are nice, but $45k + ?? In all honesty champ I like my Ford, but in reality I would not have bought it if my employer didn't have a $400/monthly payment towards a vehicle as part of my benefits package.

Hell, all the interiors on all of 'em looked about the same, so it came to me as personal taste and opinion.

As I've bitched about enough on here, I don't care for any of those damn monstrosities they call consoles in all of them. Takes up too much interior room.

I also don't like these really short beds so many have, I use a truck like a truck, but I think the trend is most consumers want an occasional hauler instead of the standard 8 foot truck bed.

As for GMC, I know a ATHS member who's very vocal about GMC's being a different truck entirely many years ago. The rear ends he said were even heavier.

Seems to me GMC is going more Cadillac like ?

Friend recently bought a full size GMC SUV (cant remember the name of it) had a 6.0 all kinds of toys, really nice truck.
