Chevy is doing the same thing they've always done. Making a vehicle more appealing to younger people, and puting smaller lighter more powerful engines in them.

Ford is making more work oriented vehicles, with larger heavier, powerful enough engines in them.

Dodge is the same as they've always been. Somewhere in between Chevy and Ford.
