When you buy a General Motors truck, you're acquiring the benefit of generations of top-notch engineering tailored to customer demand. The powertrain options are the same GM-built beauties in both the Chevy and GMC trucks. The real question is: which one is right for you? To answer this question, we'll explore the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado in the mid-sized segment. Then the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado in the full-sized segment, with the 1500 being the base and the 2500 the heavy duty.

Comfort is there on both the Chevy and the GMC, but the GMC ramps up the luxury with some extra posh options as you climb into the upper trims. The Denali trim on the GMC Canyon comes with leather upholstery, wood trim, and chrome accents. On the other hand, the Canyon's AT4 trim is off-road ready from the factory, but the Colorado Z71 is more robust. A mid-sized truck can navigate narrower trails than a full-sized truck, so if you need versatile off-road capability over workload capacity, these fellas should be on your radar.Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. GMC Sierra 1500 at Woody Folsom Automotive

If you're looking for a heavy-duty truck, you got some towing and hauling to do. As with GM's other offerings, both these magnificent beasts have the same powertrain options and capacities. Of the two powertrain options, the Duramax 6.6-liter turbocharged diesel engine packs a profound punch. 445 horsepower mates with 910 lb-ft of torque, routed through a 10-speed transmission. Again, GMC's Denali trim offers a more luxurious interior, and chrome exterior accents that even extend to the tow hooks.The pattern here is: Chevy is your ultra-reliable rugged work truck; GMC is your ultra-reliable rugged work truck with panache. Panache costs a little more, so you'll want to think about how rough you tend to be on your pickup truck before making your final decision.
