Default I am torn...... F-150 or GMC 1500

Well, seriously considering a new truck.... my dilemma ..... Ford or GMC? After a few weeks of looking at specs and pricing, its basically a dead heat.
Ford 5.0 slightly more hp then GM 5.3
GM 5.3 slightly better fuel mileage
Towing capacity nearly equal when both are equipped properly
Pricing equipped the way I would order them.... of course very close
The difference comes in as far as trim....
GMC does not offer many trim levels, either a base truck, that I can equip the way I want, or a chrome laden truck that I dont want.
Ford offers many levels of trim, and since I not a fan of chrome on a truck, the STX trim level with body colored bumpers and some really nice argent colored alloy wheels...... wins the exterior looks dept.
Interior wise.... I think the Ford once again wins with a much nicer interior for a lower trim level truck
I have been very loyal to GM, but I have been a Ford fan in my younger years.....
I am torn......
