    Hello and welcome! You'll love the truck, the Sierra and Silverado don't have a huge difference between them mainly just the body style.

    Welcome!

    If you plan to do some aftermarket modifications then I'd steer you to a Silverado as opposed to a Sierra. There are OEM cosmetic differences as well as aftermarket part differences that pose challenges for modders, as some manufacturers presume that there's 1:1 parity between the units under the skin when, in fact, there are minor differences.

    I ran into this picking up aftermarket tails for my truck; the manufacturer assumed that what would fit the Silverado would also fit the Sierra and listed as a part for both. In actuality, it didn't fit, as the Sierra tails for my year have only three bulb sockets whereas the Silverado for my year has four.

    Since the Silverado is the more dominent machine in terms of units sold, it's what aftermarket manufacturers build for first and foremost, so it's a better bet unless you're an experienced modder or are willing to work through anomalies like the one I ran into.
