The GMC(or Chevy) looks great but that is all they have going for them. The interior is extremely cheap. Lots of rattles and squeaks. If they are anything like my Canyon it will only get worse. Legroom is good, headroom, at least on the regular cab, is not. The headliner drops down to cover a bar at the back of the cab right where a tall person would have his head. Radio is typical new GM with goofy controls, built into the dash so an aftermarket system would look out of place. Sound is adequate. Outside we have panels that seem on the thin side. GM switched to waterborne paint a while back and since then the paint has been awful. Orange peel is terrible, it looks like they put it on with a roller. Loads of chipping problems as well. Mechanically I'll say the v6 doesn't have enough power to get out of its own way. It needs the v8. Reliability, I don't think would be a problem. The shifting of the transmission is horrible. It mushes, shifts at the wrong time and makes driving a pain. I was all set to sign the papers for a new one but after trying one for a day I wouldn't even consider owning it. Shame really. I think it's the best looking truck made. My Toyota experience is more limited but I'll say the paint and denting issues are the same or slightly better than the GM. The transmission is the best I've ever had the pleasure to drive. Interior was a bit better too. In general, it just drove like a better truck. Suckish tires can be replaced. I've never found any truck from any manufacturer that came with tires worth keeping. Consumer Reports are suckish too and needs to be replaced as well."
