Well from a political perspective, GM should be out of business and Ford didn't take taxpayer money for a bailout.......HOWEVER GMC makes a pretty good truck. I drove one for a couple years and liked it a lot however that was for a job. If I was to buy one for myself I'd buy a Super Duty. I like the look of them and there's more options. THere's a reason they're the number one selling truck for the last however many years. Just find one in your price range and buy something you like! You gotta really love it because no matter what it'll be sucking the gas :-)
