I don't know what the difference is but my entire family had better luck with GMC's than Chevrolet's. I guess that it just how it plays out.

| I wanted the GM so I didn't look a distance. I have several friends that went with the Chevy because of the same reason. Its all personal preference. The trucks are basically the same, Just a little trim and different badging. But if you buy a Chevy over a GMC and it breaks ill have to say I told you so.

| When I bought my GMC it had more items as standard equipment than the Chevy did.
Option packages were alittle better for the GMC. I think it comes down to what look you like.

When I purchased mine I was told that GMC and Chevy are the same price when loaded with the same options.

| I have owned both GMC and Chevy...I prefer the GMC. I think the seats are a little nicer, but that's probably all in my head...I just like the GMC's body style better.
