The last time I preferred the looks of the Chevy was the GMT400. That's not to say the Silverados are bad looking trucks, I just prefer the Sierra.

I can't choose which is better looking. They are both ugly.  Must have sketched these up after a nightmare.     Now that's pretty.

Chevy is generally a little cheaper for the same truck, at least in my area.   I think both can look stunning, just depends on trim and how they are spec'ed out.   I don't get the

In the 1/2 ton market the Chevy wins, the GMC 1/2 ton I don't like the looks due to the sim card shaped fender wells and the shape of the grill looks like and big computer monitor plug. Now the 3/4 ton market the GMC wins as the Chevy front end is just flat out ugly. 

Totally agree my previous trucks:

13 Sierra SLE

15 Sierra SLE

18 Sierra SLT

Current vehicle 19 Silverado LT, what put me off the Sierra were the wheel openings which looked much nicer on the previous model and the grille looks to narrow and tall, hey but each to their own.

My neighbour has a 100 year Silverado as his work truck. I'm jealous.

GMC.

 

I've got my old 92 GMC from high school when it was new in the shop still but it's been worked over a bit with a hot rod motor and new injection system.  I went to a GMC again so I wouldn't have to come onto forums and bitch about not getting the options I wanted.  My AT4 has every option I can get outside of off road steps and a bed cover both of which I'm fine with because I'm getting AMP steps and won't run a bed cover anyway.

I like the looks of the 1500 gmc AT4 because it gets rid of all the in your face chrome with some of the options I like.

I tried building another version with the diesel to get the tow package with the 3.73 gears and ended up with way more chrome than I'd like and it even cost more.

Why gm can't offer certain options (gearing, engine choices, larger fuel tanks, upgraded interiors) with everything but a work truck version is beyond me.

They could learn a thing or two from Dodge that does make this type of selections more available.

As a Chevy guy, the GMC is undeniably the better looking truck which is why I bought a GMC. The truth is that the GMC has been the better looking platform since '14. 

 

You guys are really arguing that this truck:

is a better looking truck than this truck...

LOL. It's not really even close. After I decided on a half ton I first went to the Chevy dealership and then to the GMC dealership. Got a bottom dollar on a GMC and went back to the Chevy dealership to see what they could do, and no disrespect, because I would much rather have bought a car from the Chevy guys (much more normal people b/w the particular dealerships) but I laughed to myself when you put them in contrast. I'll never be loyal to a brand and always buy what is best for me, but when it comes to pickups I have grown up around and always liked Chevy's and wanted a Chevy. Until I saw the GMC... It's almost as if GM took the nicest design and gave it to GMC and took the second best design and gave it to Chevy. The GMC's are the best looking trucks on the market by a longshot. Not met anyone that disagreed. But Chevy does have one of the most loyal brand followings of any vehicle. I will give you that.

Now I will concede that the Elevation & AT4's look like $hit, but the Trail Boss and RST's look even worse. 

 

I mean we can do this all day. You think this truck:

looks better than this truck?:

Again, it ain't close brother. And if you want to go 3/4 ton it gets even worse for the Chevy's...

I have a 2019 Sierra AT4 which I got because it doesn't have all the chrome.  I like both trucks but I prefer the 10 speed transmission which wasn't available in Chevy, so I have the 6.2L with 10 speed.  The tailgate is not a gimmick to me as I use the features (yes plural) all the time.  The camera system was also great on the sierra.  I guess it was more about what they delivered than the looks for me.

I have a 2020 Sierra SLT Premium Plus.  Maybe it's just because I'm in my 50's, but the Chevy just looks to "young" for me.  Much prefer the GMC, and all that chrome!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      One would think. BUT....This is what a Google search gives for the GM OLM system:    It doesn't measure oil condition save the highly indirect water temperature. It should measure oil temperature and as we've discussed they are not as closely related as one might assume. The algorithm is based on expected conditions at the end of a certain number of miles or revolutions. And sirs, this estimated value is not tilted in the engines favor. It favors the OEM's bottom line. There are no magical number of miles nor revolutions. No magical time limit. There is only what can be measured directly and only in the broadest of terms would the values used even come close to reality.    It samples nothing. It has no idea where the oil started or where it will finish given the limited values use to create the algorithm. It is just a reminder for the brain dead to do something at some time to keep the warranty in tact. Pure fiction.    Key Factors in Oil Life Calculation The OLM calculates the remaining oil life percentage based on the following factors: Factor Description Engine Revolutions Tracks the number of engine revolutions since the last reset, decreasing oil life with use. Mileage Since Last Reset Monitors the distance driven since the last oil change, capped at 7,500 miles for most models. Time Since Reset Decreases oil life over time, dropping to 0% after one year, regardless of mileage. Engine Temperature Adjusts oil life based on coolant temperature; exceeding 260°F sets oil life to 0%.

      Towing power and I guess MPG matter that’s why I may end up going with a gear swap as soon as they’re available for this truck if I’m correct

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By GMTruckGuy74 · Posted

      If I may, I'd like to post my prediction of the trim levels for the 2027 GMC Sierra, based on what was released/introduced today about the Chevy Silverado.   Using the "Professional Grade" wording already in use by GMC, here are the eight (8) trims I believe the Sierra will offer (comparable Chevy trim in parenthesis): Sierra Pro (Work Truck/WT) Elevation (Custom) Elevation Premium -or- Ultimate (Silverado) AT4 (Custom Trail Boss) AT4 Premium -or- Ultimate (Trail Boss) AT4X (ZR2) Denali (High Country) Denali Ultimate (N/A) If GMC would rather simplify the trim levels, then I predict six (6) with package upgrades in parenthesis: Sierra Pro (with a Graphite package upgrade option) Elevation (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4 (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4X (with AEV and Ultimate packages upgrade) Denali Denali Ultimate  Let's see if I'm close.

      Auto start stop disable

      By revmanii · Posted

      I have to believe there are already a bunch of threads on this, but my searches didn't turn up much. While I like the ease of a plugin solution like the Carbyte, It appears it disables the AFM or DFM too, and is not configurable to only disable the auto stop/start. So, I'm looking at the Autostop Eliminator product. I like the idea of it better, but I'm concerned about the install and having to pull so many panels to get it installed. Mines a 2026 work truck, so from what I've read it's a less involved install, but having watched a couple install vid's, I'm still a little intimidated. Might need to buy some plastic trim tools to get it done without breaking or marring stuff. Any experience intalling in a WT greatly appreciated.
