I bought a GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 extended cab 4 door to replace a 1997 Dodge RAM 1500 4X4 extended cab. The GMC is a far superior truck in my opinion. The Big 5.3L V-8 has much better throttle response and power than the Dodge 5.1L V-8. The GMC has more room inside, better standard equipment and handles much better, especially in the rain. The truck drives like a car, albeit a very large, powerful car.
I love the Stereo in this truck and I love all of the storage bins, pockets, power outlets and such. Also, the lumbar supports in the seats are excellent on a long trip.
The gas mileage is not that great, about 14mpg average. I added a tonneau cover to mine and boosted the mileage to 15mpg, still not great, but that's what you get for owning a big workhorse of a truck.
The only nit I have with the truck is that the braking is sometimes unpredictable when the A/C is running and you are travelling at low speeds. The brakes will not pick up immediately, and then will pulse suddenly. I think it may have to do with the booster not getting adequate vacuum at low RPM. Anyway, it doesn't ever present any danger, it is just annoying.
I would recommend this truck over the Dodge RAM any day of the week. Sure the Dodge looks tougher, but the GMC is a far better built and better driving truck.
