Interesting, GM twins combine to beat Ford in the 150/1500 market, but doesn't even get half/way in the 250/2500 market.
I personally believe it's the 'ride quality' that sells GM in the 150/1500 market, because a lot of buyers never use the 150/1500 truly as a work truck, it's more of a weekend yard work and light hauling for family projects, and even the GM interior looks like a car with a bed.
Whereas, the Ford really shines in the work/power category, so makes sense the ride would mean less at that level. When you want a truck to truly work, you care less about a rougher ride...
That's my opinion as a very long time GM owner and multiple GM trucks both 1500s and 2500s -- among a few other brands occasionally.
