Default GMC/Chevy difference??

Just curious if there are really any differences between gmc and chevy trucks of the similer year and model? Why do GMC's seem to run cheaper?

That and the resale of a GMC is higher than a Chevy. (a Chevy dealer told me that) because gmc only makes yukons, envoys, sierras. as to chevy who makes cobalts, vetts, impalas, silverado, tahoe, and every other one. might make sinse?
