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

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.

Easy, either the 1/2 ton is overpriced or the 3/4 ton is under priced. Most likely based on sales data.

I think I answered my own question in my OP.

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

Well this got stupid in a hurry.
Demand for a 1500 is greater than for a 2500, so GM prices accodingly.
