That is GM'S decision to have two different trucks. If that's the case then you could say the same thing about all of their auto's also. I said GM and Chevy trucks are the same and the GM boys slammed me. Now you guys want them counted as the same. Go figure, bet you want your cake and eat it too. :W

I am personally not a believer in the two separate truck company philosophy for purposes of totaling number of vehicles sold. I bought GMC's through the 2000's because I thought they looked better, and Chevy from 08 on to 12. The check still went to the same GM. It is the same truck for purposes of market share. If separating them for sales count purposes makes YOU feel better about Rams position than by all means do what makes you feel good. However when Chevy sells 300K and GMC 75K, GM still sold 375K trucks.

Always begs the question would GMC buyers switch to chev ?
GM seems think cancelling GMC would cost sales ,they don't add them together so neither should we.

What do you mean they don't add them together? The sales numbers are split to show the sales for each division, but ultimately the sales are credited to GM. GMC offers GM the ability to market a slightly different pickup truck look to dealers who don't carry Chevy. As everyone knows they are mechanically the same truck. GMC is not a stand alone company so why try and treat it as such.
