There is a reason the F150 continues to lead the segment year after year. I'm not a truck guy, so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I would like to hear some feedback from folks who are as to why GM is not more competitive than it historically has been in this segment.
The F-150 doesn't share a platform between GMC and Chevrolet. GM truck sales are split, and that makes for some marketing challenges. GMC is more luxury-oriented, leading to a unique marketing issue. GMC buyers tend to prefer as a secondary brand Ford over Chevrolet because Ford doesn't have what they consider a lower-tier of the brand.

I trust the engineering behind GM vehicles, the testing they undergo, and most importantly the quality of the engines. Ford makes good trucks. GM makes the best trucks.
