The sierra and silverado are just rebadged.

The gm examples and the ford examples I listed are at least trying to be a different other than badges and a grill.

But yes, I don't know why gm kept the gmc truck line. (Other than the fact that it makes money for GM)

Those rebadges you listed are more luxurious variants of Ford cars. There's no difference between a GMC Acadia and Chev Traverse, or a Terrain and Equinonx except trim differences. I can't imagine the money made from a separate brand justifies the re-tooling and design costs by a large enough margin..
