I have had so many hot rods in my past,98% Chevy (built or rebuilt about 35 SBC engines),but have always driven Ford trucks.
I did just the opposite I came out of a GMC, had both a 2000 and then a 2003 5.3 SLT Quadrasteer. Both very dependable, mpg in 16.4 range.
When I decided to buy new the interior of the Ford and the 5.0L won me over. A new GMC just would not have seemed like a new truck with the same basic interior and 5.3 engine.
Only 1700 miles on my 2011 Plat, but no regrets yet.
