Iowa waht do you mean more upscale, like the GMC the higher end of GM trucks while the Chev is the lower end? If this is true (but i dont think it is) I dont know where they got it from. I spent the day driving 2 of each brand of trucks in the 3/4 ton diesel class ranging 05-06 and the only reason I didnt get the GMC was because I didn't like the styling as much as I did teh chevy. they both handled the same.

I don't want to get into any snobbery but, yes the GMC is the upscale version of the Chevy just like the Mercury Grand Marquis is the upscale Ford Crown Victoria. Both have the same basic stuff beneath the surface but, there are little details that take my Grand Marquis upscale over the same vintage Crown Victoria.

Weird, I really noticed no difference between the two when I was testing them, aside from looks. Both good trucks, just liked the chev better.
No worries, no snobbery was found in your reply

the upscale thing is appearance, nothing else. like seat material, getting something on one and not the other. mechanically, you are correct, they are and have always been clones. hard to believe between the two they still can't outsell Ford trucks.

.Beautiful truck though, I like them alot. My next truck may be the new superduty they have. I'ts a new engine and such so probably best to wait a few years so they can figure it out.

We could twist this data if we want, and only compare the F150 vs Sierra1500/Silverado1500. Or, we could add up sales figures for all trucks and find out that GM sells the most, followed by Toyota, followed by Ford. Ford only has (3) nameplates; F-Series, Ranger, and Lincoln Mark LT. GM has (7) nameplates; Silverado, Sierra, Avalanche, Escalade EXT, Colorado, Canyon, and the SSR.
For the record, 13 months ago I sold my 17-year-old Chevy and bought a F-150. The only thing I ever had to replace in the chevy was an alternator and the seatbelt. I didn't need a new truck, I just wanted one. With $5500 in rebates, and deep dealer discounts, I got my Ford for $9000 under sticker. Ford's "quiet steel" is amazing. My pickup is quieter than my wife's Lincoln. I still miss the Chevy a little...
