I’m not sure this is a prop replica, but it’s promoting the new LEGO movie coming out soon. This was unveiled at the Detroit Autoshow.

This was the perfect opportunity to make a life sized GMC Sierra, but I guess the folks at GM said “let’s make the cheapo truck out of the highest quality plastic bricks, forget the whole ‘quality product meets quality product’ thing.”
Of course, I could be wrong, but with all the Sierra ads GM has made that explicitly take shots at the Silverado, I came to expect more of the “flagship model.”

Not to derail the thread, but the Silverado and the Sierra are virtually identical trucks. They've only been stand alone trucks for the last twenty years, and while that might sound like a lot, I drive a 1998 K-1500 Silverado (with well over 300,000 miles, and it still runs great). The Sierra of the same year was only a trim option. And while they are separate trucks entirely now, they're more similar than not. The only real differences are cosmetic. They are even virtually the same price. A base model GMC Sierra is less than $1000 more than a base model Chevy Silverado, options and trim packages notwithstanding.
The only real difference between the two are production numbers. GMC produces substantially fewer trucks than Chevrolet. So, "flagship model" is a term that really doesn't apply. General Motors produces them both, and as far as I know, has never considered the Sierra to be the flagship truck offering. Chevy has their flagship, as does GMC, and the difference between the two is insubstantial. The parent company reaps the profits either way.

The Silverado these days starts at less than $30,000, and can have about $23,000 in options. The base Sierra starts at $30,000 and with options, the price can more than double.
The chassis and some parts may be the same, but with prices like that, I find it hard that anything else is.

This article is less than two weeks old. It breaks down models, trims, and options for both in a side by side comparison.

It’s a 2019 article, I wonder why they don’t picture the 2019 trucks?
