I see a few Tundras around here but it seems like lately the GMT-900 twins have really taken off. They seem to be everywhere lately, not sure if its the deals or cheap prices on trucks. I'm pretty impressed with mine still (after 15 months) and for a truck gets really decent mileage.

Nope, I'm pretty sure that's the first generation for which the GMC outsells the Chevy. (Chevy usually sells a bit more, but not much, than its Pontiac/GMC clones.)

That reversal is a direct product of the GMT900 Silverado's disgusting exterior styling. Look no further.

It's because GM's two sales channels have approx. the same weight in Canada... although Chevy is usually a bit bigger, not smaller like you've said. The Chevys normally sell in slightly higher numbers than the PontiacGMCs.

A few months ago, GMC was not selling very well so they put on a much larger marketing push at the Pontiac Buick GMC dealerships hence better sales. Unfortunately, in Toronto, I am seeing way too many Tundras. Although I drive an Avalanche LTZ (2007), I really dislike the Silverado styling. The Sierra looks 100 times better. If I was buying a conventional pickup, it would have been the Sierra.
