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.
Have Firefox open on one screen with the 2500 HD SLE trim and Explorer open on the second screen with the 1500 Max Tow SLE. Can't seem to make it work with the same browser open twice.
2500 HD nets (assuming $12K trade in) $52,153 vs $41,188 for the 1500. Credits are different and the 1500 has 0% finance (not really) while the 2500 has 4.99% (not really). Payment difference is ~$300/mnth over 5 years.
Local dealer has half a dozen GMC's with Max Trailer. Local Chevy dealer seems to have none (at least from their web site).
