GM urges patience as Silverado falls to No. 3

I haven't actually driven a Denali, but, from what I've read in reviews, it is more comfortable on the road than the somewhat stiff-riding Silverado, and almost as smooth as recent Ram 1500s.

That's true, Jill, for people who only infrequently carry significant loads....one might (?) be able to get by with rentals. But many people are in business for themselves, are handymen/handywomen, need to haul firewood regularly in the wintertime for their homes/farms, or have other reasons why they (regularly) need the load-capacity of a pick-up bed. And reserving a rental, picking it up/returning it, having to sweep it out after use if it is dirty, making sure one has insurance on it if there is an accident, and a number of other factors can make a rental a PITA.

Agree and well said. Therefore, while you consolidate your vehicles, you should sell me your LC500 at a ridiculously reduced price..!

I've hauled all kinds of stuff including:
appliances
furniture
building materials
camping supplies
luggage for extended vacations with the entire family
guns, ammunition, targets, etc for saturday morning shooting trips in the desert
all of my possessions when I moved into my home(and the same for friends when they've moved)
firewood
propane tanks for our rural property when they need to be hauled in and filled
But then you might pass me on a day when I'm driving to work and don't have anything in the bed and therefore assume "Oh, i guess he NEVER hauls anything."
Passing somebody on the road once doesn't tell you anything about what they use their truck for.

Because renting a truck several times a month would get irritating quickly?

"Jill" let's knock off the personal commentary. You asked a question and got a detailed answer.

Come out to the west sometime. Trucks are everywhere on job sites. They typically have higher payload and tow ratings. Try pulling a gooseneck trailer with a van and see how that goes. Try getting into a muddy rural jobsite with a van that only has RWD. Or haul something that is not pleasant to have inside the cabin. I'm not loading garbage into the cabin of my vehicle to go to the dump.
I'm not sure why you aren't able to see how other people might have different needs than you.
@LexsCTJill You have nothing to apologize for.

Yes because your life experience defines all experiences.

The latest models of these trucks are so ridiculous, a CDL license should be required to drive them. Those two pictures speak a thousand words.

I am not saying there is absolutely no purpose for pick up trucks, but vast majority of owners only buy those menacing atrocities for manhood compensation.

I don't think that users on a forum for luxury cars should point fingers in regards to buying a vehicle you have no need for.
And most pickup drivers can handle their trucks just fine. You're just being vindictive against people you disagree with
