I read that GMC Denali's were one of the most profitable automobile brands.

All cosmetic as far as I know. But yes, GMC is considered a little step up I think.

They are usually sold in different locations and the GMC badge costs about 4-8 grand.

What's kind of crazy is that, comparably equipped, a new GMC generally costs a little more, but when they get old, in good and comparable condition and same options, the Chevrolet is way more valuable.

The expensive crew cabs aren't very collectible either, but the short bed regular cabs, which are the cheapest you can buy new, are way the hell more expensive when they get old, condition/other options being the same.

Soft touch features mostly. Leather is a little nicer, has leather in more places, engine is better in the Denali vs the Ltz Tahoe.

One’s for full blown queers - the other’s for trannies. Y’all decide which is which.

Way back when, General Motors, a holding company for Buick bought a truck manufacturing company and GMC Trucks was born. That's the only difference. They are built on the same assembly lines (don't know if this is still true) as Chevy trucks. I remember my dad buying a new 1976 Chevy Cheyenne that had Sierra Grande emblems on the dash.

My understanding is that GMC basically exists so that Buick dealerships could have a truck to sell. The trucks themselves are essentially identical to Chevy.

Exactly the same !!-Parts are interchangeable- They come off the same assembly line-just re-badged differently.

Nameplate and some interior layout.

And now they are actually putting separation between build with separate wheel wells and the multi function tailgate.

If you have to ask, you don't need to know.

Current bodystyle:

GMC has unique front end/grille, headlights, taillights, front fenders, hood, bed panels, wheels, and real aluminum trim on the dash. 2014-2016 also had different interior lighting color(red). I think more GMCs come with a locking differential also.

Denali was the only truck with MagRide suspension but High Country might have that now.

2019 models - many differences we don’t know details on
