GMC Chevy 2500HD?

I mentioned in the past that I sold Fords. Two years ago I was hired by a good sized GMC dealer as a salesman and there was three days of training before I was able to start selling. I went in and quit on the 4th day because I did not like the high pressure scripted program they were using. In 3 days I drove quite a few new Chevy and GMC

pickups and jumping back and forth in similar trims, I felt no real difference in quality or looks. Because the High Country was fairly new, most of the salepeople said they liked the High Country interior better than the Denali.

Myself, I thought both interiors were fantastic. All the HDs were made in Flint or Ft Wayne, a lot of the 1500 series were assembled in Mexico, I could see no apparent difference in the fit or finish which IMHO is as good as any make vehicle in the same price range. One interesting fact is in 2016 the HD wins a JD Powers award for reliabily

and the 1500 series did not. Factory location is probably not a factor, more because the 1500 has more car like features like shutting down cylinders and other light duty, go wrong early stuff on them.

I will add that when I priced out a Denali with the same options as my High Country, the Denali was 500.00 more.

My wife liked the Chevy front end more than the GMC so we got the High Country, so far my all time favourite truck and I have had lots of them.

 

I will agree, on the front end. My wife has an 09 yukon denali we bought new, and I just sold my 08 Sierra Denali to buy the new HC Silverado HD. So having said that I am generally more partial to the GMC style or maybe its the Denali style. But after laying eyes on the HC HD Chevy front end, it just looked edgier than the Denali HD front end. Almost a throwback to the 90's chevy trucks. Add in the leather interior color was to me way cooler, so I made the switch over to Chevy this time around.

Now if we were talking 1500's, I like the Denali front better than the Silverado.
