They smoked everyone. Those numbers are impressive. Even that comment that Ford beat Chevy and GMC combined.

GM screwed up with the current styling of the trucks. They look like something a woman would drive... The truck says "GRRRR." if full female fasion... Then there's the piston knock, if you use the wrong oil... What's up with that?

They're also unsafe, the GM trucks have no sub structure under the front fenders. I would not want to be in a front end collision in a Silverado/Sierra.

One of my friends had a crash in an '04. It didn't fair too well. The crash probably woulda totalled any truck, but he was lucky he walked away the way it folded up.
