IMO the GMC/Chevy has a very "soft" front, (car style) the dodge is to big....large mouth bass type...and the Ford, well nothing soft about that front.
In your face kind of tuff looking, they even advertise it that way with low and long camera angles. Changes you first impression and how you remember that first view!

GM Trucks
GMC/Chevy cannot make trucks anymore. That said. SUPERDUTY Will always sell and will always have the upper strength of a real workhorse. Want a fancy truck buy GM. Want a mans truck buy FORD.
FORD SUPERDUTY is why FORD is #1
And i'm not making any stupid comments BEANO, about who is superior. I found out when I test drove all the three. With GM in last
, Dodge in second
and yours truly in FIRST

GMC made a few VHO or something like that with the 6.0 High Output motor, the same one found in the Chevy SS. Probably because some people didn't like the styling of the chevy. But I don't mind the chevy front end.
At one time the GMC Sierra did have a higher sticker price than the Silverado, but I am unsure about it now. We are only talking a couple hundred bucks, but probably because they used more material in their grille!??!? Or maybe more expensive to make the bumper, who knows.

You must have had the greatest test drive in the world if you could come to that conclusion on a test drive.
Did you manage to catch all four seasons when you went around the block? Various road conditions? Off road capability? Braking ability with a heavy load?
Does sound kinda silly to me that you figured this out on a "test drive".

I also think all this aggressive in your face styling is only present to make little men feel like big men when the drive a "big and mean lookin' truck" to groecery store. I think that is why so many of the new "mean lookin'" trucks have the utlimate dufus symbol on them. For those that don't know the ultimate dufus symbol is a harley davidson sticker, a west coast choppers sticker, or a OCC sticker or any combination of such stickers.
It is almost like a redneck version of ricers.

Well did not go around the block, I jumped on the freeway for 2 0r 3 miles, I did do a well of enough test drive to suit my needs. I did a 0-60 run, braking from 60-0, I test drove the 4x4 on all three, did not do any off-roading but as it L.A. has the worse road conditions. So honestly, It was my $0.02 not yours, and the only thing silly about this is your reply.
