Yeah I think they are pretty much the same. Ive always thought that the GMC line was modeled as "higher class" than the Chevrolets but that's just my take on it. Nothing really wrong with that but its just one of those things lol. Me Im somewhat of a magnet when it comes to liking Chevrolets but only certain models everybody has had some real duds.

I don't think Chevrolet is "better", but I do think I like the Chevy front end more than most GMC's...

I don't know if this is true, but I heard that they both come down the same assembly line and that every 12th one is badged as a GMC. I think this is not true though, but found it amusing.

Except for the new body style the Chevy's look a little better. But I'll take either over the alternatives any day
