I'm on my second crewcab LTZ the first one had the vortecmax and was really good,it got messed up and I got one with the 5.3 and I have some complaints about it but I still like it,I have thought seriously about trading for a Raptor but wanted to see the new trucks first and I think I would switch to GMC the next time around but I would like to see something Raptor like from GMC,and I'm wondering if Ford will keep producing the Raptor for 2014-15 as well as I would only consider trucks from GMC or Ford.

i wonder if there's a real need for GMC. i know the argument was to have them paired with Buick dealers (and pontiac when they were around)

Current-Gen GMT 900s have a slight-but-noticeable difference in front-end appearance...for a reason. The Silverado is "sleeker" (slimmer-wider through the grille), the Sierra more "squared-off". Appeals to two different potential buyers, broadening sales. Add in the unmatched Denali Packages, and suddenly you have an "uptown" truck...with an "uptown" margin. The next-Gens seem to follow this, although the appearance differences are less pronounced at a glance. Can't wait to see 'em "in the flesh"...again... |

I don't see a real difference. The last MY seemed to be a huge leap forward in design. This one....eh I suppose. I've always liked the GMCs better but it just looks like they stole some taurus headlights and placed them on it.
The interiors (minus the fake wood) look very nice though. But I can't help but think they whiffed again on another crucial offering. |

I'm not crazy about the Silverado, just like I wasn't crazy about the previous one. My love stopped at the 2007 Classic (I had an '05 for two years).
Now, the GMC...when that hits the lots I'm running to town to molest one. I like it. I like the corner step on the bed and the under rail LED lights are a great idea. I almost did that on my last truck. As for 'its not really a redesign'. This is no different than the '04+ F150s. Even when they 'changed' in '09 they still look the same. Just as this does. Lets not even discuss the Ford Super Duty. They have been beating that body style to DEATH since the late 90s. Or Dodge with the Rams (2002 and up). IMO, this is no less a step up than any other manufacturer has offered. I'm looking forward to seeing some in person, and I REALLY want to see the specs on these new engines. Especially that LS based 4.3L V6.

I've always loved the blocky look to GM trucks. That's why I was disappointed with the new Colorado.

Here is a list of 2011 year end sales total by brands Quote:
GMC was the #10 best selling brand in North America last year. Not bad for a brand that sells only platform shared Trucks/SUV/Crossovers! I'm sure Ford wished they could have had that type of success with Mercury, especially in the later years. Buick makes money too. Yes they were saved because of the Chinese market, but that in turn has lead to the resurgence in the U.S. market Quote:
