Why are GM's 1500 and 2500HD roughly the same price?

I went to the website and built the same truck with the same options in the 1500 and the 2500 for both sierra and silverado.

Silverado 1500 $41,285
Silverado 2500 $43,235
Sierra 1500 $42,920
Sierra 2500 $43,190

So on the sierra I can get bigger rear end, stronger suspension, frame, motor, tranny, brakes, etc. and a big payload increase for a few hundred more?

Is this just marketing due to most people using the truck as a daily driver and the fuel economy?

    Ford owns Cummins.....

    Re-read the question Donn0128. It's why is there very little difference in price between the 1500 and the 2500, not GMC vs Chevy.


    I did and I gave an answer. Fly gipsy gave further answer.
    Instead of complaining, give your own answer or dont bother posting.
  • Easy, either the 1/2 ton is overpriced or the 3/4 ton is under priced. Most likely based on sales data.
  • The GMC and Chevrolets are exactly the same. They come off the same assembly line using the same exact components. The difference is trim and badges.
