Looking for some some opinions, and yes, I realize that they may be one-sided.

37L1 said it best - go drive 'em.
We considered the Chevy back in January when we bought our Titan. Our comparisons came down to a few points on paper: Difference in what we would be paying out, insurance, servicability, fuel mileage and the price of fuel. We were coming from a one-ton dually diesel.
And then we got in and drove. Titan won. My wife was about as willing to drive the Chevy as she was my big truck -- which was not at all. She loves the Titan, and I'm scared to let her drive it now for fear I'll never get it back.
The Titan is a joy to drive every day, and hurts far less at the gas pump. The Chevy was going to be another monster to park and another cramped space for our rear-seat passengers. I use the truck more like a car for every day, and when we go play, we tow. The towing capability of the Titan is within a half ton of the old dually. Plus I get sports-car handling for everyday driving. You pull into the lot at work with a smile on your face. What more can you ask for?
The Titan deal was cinched by the Chevy dealer's apparent need to make his payment on his house in Aspen that month. Don't know why they're all so dang expensive in this area, but they just are...
In any case, you're the guy who has to live with it. We'll all tell you that we love our Titans, and the Chevy guys will tell you that they're just crazy about their trucks, so it's going to be hard to decide by what you see here.
