Chevy Avalanche - Cadillac Escalade EXT - Same
Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade - Same thing
Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon XLT - Same thing
There are a lot more that cross the boundaries. So yeah you can clearly see where the fat needs to be cut. And like you said GMC could go away completely and no one would miss it.

Rebadging works wonders...everyone does it and benefits from it. Did you know that Honda has 5 total platforms worldwide whereas Ford has 11.
Most Lexus's are built off Camry platforms, but because America is generally dumb, they stretch the wheelbase 1 inch, change some panels and people think the car is all different.
