So I'm just saying I think they would be wise to continue improving what they have. Two "new trucks" are only going to reduce sales on the flagship pickups, making them fall even farther behind the F-150.

GM already currently has two truck models for sale, the GMT-900s and the GMT-355s. They're doing exactly what you want, improving what they already have. The Colorado/Canyon twins sold fairly well for the first few model years right alongside the GMT-800s and later the GMT-900s, then sales tapered off rapidly as GM refused to make any major updates.
Not everyone wants or needs a full size truck. I don't see why GM should cede the entire midsize truck market to Toyota just because they have the top selling midsize truck.
