Clickbait truck ads

Not just GM, but most all of the full sized pickups look like monsters with another pickup front end stacked on top of it...so a double stack front end...

Of course driven by marketing survey's of owners and wannabe owners (fashion statement crowd) who like this sort of thing...and thinks 'looks' has a lot to do with how tough/strong/etc it is...

Cmon Ben, you're one of the smartest automobile dudes on this forum and to add to it, my fave GM truck for bang for the buck is still probably the GMT 400s (aka YOUR burb) and they look good too!
One of my next faves is the squarebody c/k trucks 73-87s. Been eyeing some up recently, love to have one.

BUUUUT, why you gotta be a hater on the new rigs. We don't hate yours...
Want luxury, capability and enough power to, well, sht, tow a house, you gonna need a double stacked hood. You can't put 4 horses in a 2 horse trailer very well and 1000ftlbs of fire breathing torque don't fit very well under the hood of a Mazda, or a 75 K20 Chevy either. (but that's because of emissions cr@p, I could get the engine to fit!)

Honestly, it's in poor taste (not for the new Chevies, I agree, they ARE fugly) to hear this kind of distaste for the new trucks come from a gear head such as yourself....
Cheers!
