Those trucks serve the exact same function as the Denali, but they are from Ford and Dodge. Or what about the F-150 Raptor? Its still an F-150, but it is much more different in terms of capabilities and target buyer compared to a regular F-150 than the Silverado & Sierra are.
Then of course you have the half tons vs the HD/Super Dutys. For Ford, as long as the truck's name starts with an 'F' its part of the 'F-Series'. I think GM does the same thing with Silverado & Sierra sales. But my point is, an F-150 with a single cab, V6, and RWD is an extremely different buyer than someone who gets an F-450 King Ranch with a crew cab, 4x4, diesel and dualies. The gap between those two trucks is much, much larger than the gap between any pair of comparable Silverados & Sierras.

How would the Ford gap be any different than the gap between a Chevy, regular cab, 2wd and a Denali 3500, crew cab, duramax, dually, 4wd?
There is near 40k in price difference between these 2 trucks on the GM side, more if you go up to a 4500 series to compare it to the f450.
