In Jun of 2015, I purchased a 2015 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ 6.0 Gas. Options between the 2 trucks are identical with exception the Silverado does not have the $995 sunroof and the Sierra 1500 did not have $420 snow plow prep package.
When you compare the MSRP on the window stickers and factor in the 2 option differences, the price difference between the 2 trucks was well under $3,000.
You pay about $500 more for the GMC name over the Chevrolet name. With that in mind, the real price difference between the 2 trucks was less than $2,500.
My price comparison was between loaded out SLT / LTZ 4WD Crew Cabs. It is possible the price differences could be larger on lower trim levels and/or cab configurations.
I tried to locate Chevy or GMC 1500 with Max Tow Pkg, but they were nearly impossible to find.
