Rant about BS advertising...
One question, how can the General get away with this BS comparison?

I would not be so fast to call it BS advertising. In fact, a serious shopper comparing automobiles, the first thing that would hit the researching shopper is how the GM product does not compare the following;
Engine Size
HP
Torque
Max Towing
0-100 (60MPH)
Interior Space
The list goes on, but just quickly glancing over it, the first thing that hit me was, why are they not comparing the really important stuff. Then, I notice how GM only compared what they bested Dodge at. Then, it really drove home....Dodge is better for this size truck.
I love embarrassing the Colorado at every turn. It makes me laugh that these guys think their roided S-10 actually is a truck.
edit.... Just noticed the small little tabs where you can compare everything..... and wow, if you displayed all the things you can compare, the dodge blows the gm out of the water.

found a mistake lol. look at the horsepower. dodge has 390 and chevy has 315. they still show advantage....

and if you notice, the gm is called a work truck and is a 2 door, not to many familys want a 2 door. that truck would be good for a 16 year old who just got his/her license an wanted a cheap truck to purchase an help build credit thats all, an honestly. if i put the gm thru what i put the dak thru. i would have broke it in 1/2 the first week
Just throwing this out there, but since they based the comparison on a Chebby base model 2DR 2WD, you would think the "comparison" model would be an extended cab (the smallest cab Dodge offers) Dakota ST 2WD, not a Laramie...

Geez.....I have a sliding rear window??? WTF. Anyone see how they gotta On-Star everything separately just to make the list longer? No mention that the on star costs an arm and leg either. They even use a COLORADO. A freakin 4 cyl Colorado mini (toy) truck vs. a V6 or V8 ????? GM go F**K yourself!
