[@destinynoon]

Ford didn't take the government bailout, and when they had bad tires on their machines, they replaced them, free. I don't know if any of you out there remember this, but ford broke up a long relationship with Firestone over it. Then offered to replace any and all the questionable tires for free. I had two vehicles in my driveway, 2001 Explorer, and 1999 F150. Both received new tires for free. I'm sure I'm not the only one who received this offer, and know it had to cost Ford a pretty penny to replace all that faulty rubber. It wasn't even Fords fault, yet they stood up for what was right. For this reason, and a few others, I am a faithful Ford guy. I have owned every manufacturer out there, some I like, some not so much, but after all is said and done, Ford is my favorite company for trucks. Good luck.

[@camclarke2663]

ford didn't need a bailout cause u gotta buy 4 fords to outlast one chevy and that's the truth

[@LWNDmax]

Ford would've had to take it if they would've stood behind their 5.4 Triton, 6.0 powerstroke, and 6.4 powerstroke and fixed the issues in those.

[@MeliorIlle]

@@camclarke2663 No it isn't. LOL at you trying to make an excuse for bankruptcy. If we were still traditional America, GM would have gone under, and rightfully so.

[@alecreg]

just fyi. the chevy in the picture is a 2500

[@OldGamerDude1]

That's what I mean this guy knows nothing about vehicles at all, nothing

[@NK-ke6yy]

Troy Mihalicz lol “nothing at all, nothing” 😂😂😭

[@nmendoza1234]

Troy Mihalicz well considering he has 175k subscribers and you have 0 he might know a thing or two.

[@JohnDiMartino]

I drove both I personally like the drive of the F150 better ,but being a mechanic and working on these trucks all the time the truck I want for the long haul after 10 years is a Silverado so if you're gonna keep it a while go for the Silverado, it's LS engine will run forever,all that technology in the F150 it's nice when it's new but 7-8 years down the road when the turbo chargers and exhaust manifolds are falling off of it from the salt in the Northeast , and the engine is tired ,you're gonna wish you had the Silverado's built like an anvil simple 2 valve cam in block V-8.even fords 5 L V8 ,it makes a lot of horsepower at 5600 rpm, but is always shifting because it doesn't have a lot of torque in the low-mid range, where the engine spends 90% of the time,and all of their engines still have cam phaser issues. Again the GM engine will outlast any of these Fords 3 to 1.this is coming from a guy who likes the F150 better...

[@workct4102]

Run forever? I see piston rings getting changed out at 80k....give me a burned up turbo with more power any day.

[@ehsanali251]

Which Year are the LS models gmc/chevy?

[@fitforhimministry2453]

So basically, Ford weighs less, hauls more, better fuel economy, & is more popular. First On Race Day

[@brettdavenport8910]

Did everyone already forget about the spark plug issues with the Fords.

[@frankwalker9078]

Glad I read the comments first. Saved me 16 minutes and 49 seconds of my life.

[@donaldtuc]

the n/a 3.5 v6 from ford has according to ford "**Power ratings are 282 horsepower and 253 lb.-ft. of torque. When properly equipped."

[@constantinejosephides3312]

funny a salesman at town and country dealership , goes out into the mechanic shop sakes 3 mechanics with engines are better they all said V8.

[@SilverRaven1959]

That wasn't based on failures or any technical data...it was opinion!!! ONLY!

[@grahamcouture6786]

The reason why the Silverado has a lower maximum price is because it has less trim levels. If you were to list them with equivalent trim levels, it would look like this: XL/WT XLT/LT Lariat/ LTZ King Ranch/High Country Platinum Limited

[@paisteplayer1040]

My loaded 17 lariat is as loaded as the high country. The platinum and limited are similar to the lariat just think of them as different dress packages.

[@justinbelk2759]

i like the idea of a tt v6 with power of v8 to get better fuel economy but 10 years down the road those turboes will have to eventually be replaced

[@grahamcouture6786]

Justin Belk and for towing, a N/A V8 will be better, since it can put down power without having to keep the turbos spooled up all the time.

[@jrod264winmag]

Graham Clarence my silverado starts spooling up just looking at a hill. It has no low end power once you get into some decent elevation . I'm talking 3,500 feet and a 6,000lb load.

[@Tazman1966]

The thing I appreciate the most about Ford, 1 They didn't take a government bail out and 2) they aren't afraid to do recalls. They take care of the customer. In the 80's when the EPA cracked down on pain, everyone had paint blowing off their vehicles. Ford repainted vehicles free to customers (10 years later) Chevy did nothing. Right now I'm fighting with GM along with 10's of thousands of others about 07-2011 Dash boards falling apart. GM says they're not aware of an issue and anyone that knows how to navigate Google knows that's a lie. I spent more on this LTZ Z71 Suburban than I did on my first house, take amazing care of my vehicles. It still looks brand new except for the crap dash the dealer wants 1500 to replace. It's a damn all day project doing it yourself and will still cost you a ton doing it. Not that I'm BITTER about it.

[@georgebrandt6247]

What if you add the GMC brand trucks in that equation for trucks sold?

[@69Cam620]

The real sales figures for the Silverado/Sierra (the Silverado/Sierra twins must be combined since the F150 doesn't have a model twin)= 2016: 796,556 units (kudos to Ford), 2009: 428,386 units (kudos to GM), 2004: 894,524 units (kudos to Ford, well both companies really, that's a lot of trucks), and in 2001: 926,205. GMC had it's best year in 2005, that makes for a total unit number of 935,468. Point here is that the numbers aren't all that lopsided. If you like the GM twins you'll buy whichever has the better looking grille to you in the year you are in the market for a new truck. And Ford knows they are manipulating data when they claim to have the undisputed best seller for 35 years, which is false if you combine the GM trucks (they are the same truck).

[@jaydenbecker2757]

but they aren't the same truck because they are sold by different branches of GM that's like counting ranger sales and mazda b series sales together and calling them one truck

[@69Cam620]

Different branches in name, but same assembly line. Until they hit the trim section in the assembly plant you wouldn't know which was a Chevrolet and which was a GMC. Mazda is a different company, not the same comparison.

[@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures]

Chad Glaser GMC is 20k more than a F150 OTL for equal trim. Your shillpal account has been credited 35 cents.

[@grahamcouture6786]

Chad Glaser yeah, but that's all part of marketing. It's basically just bragging about anything they can that's better than the competition in any way possible. Even look at the Chevy commercial where they compare the aluminum to the steel beds. Sure, in that specific application the steel held up better, but in other applications, the aluminum will hold up better, such as when something small hits it at a high velocity (such as hail), and the aluminum doesn't rust, and it's lighter. Ford also wouldn't be able to claim that the Super Duty lineup has the best towing if they didn't include the F-450 in their lineup, although the F-350 has the highest payload. Also, most of the best in class numbers on all manufacturers are best by a small margin. For example, the 2017 Duramax has best in class horsepower, beating the PowerStroke only by 5. The Powerstroke only has 15 more lb-ft of torque, but it is still advertised as the best in class for torque.

[@parsons585]

Been trying to get that information out for years! Don't know why GM doesn't run with it!

[@ifixthings86]

I hope nobody takes this all seriously, his numbers and specs are a bit off. For instance, the 3.5L na V6 does not have the exact same output as the 5L V8. This was almost as painful as watching Trump speak unscripted.

[@everymandriver]

Thank you, Dave.

[@johnsonbobo2376]

What people don't say is if you combine sierra and Silvarado since their the same truck out sales the f 150

[@jeffkrus645]

I have a few things to point out about these stats. 1) the F-150 extended cab or "SuperCab" as they call it does still have 4 doors. Just the two rear doors open the opposite way and you have to open the front door first. A little bit of an inconvenience, but not enough to stop me from purchasing my supercab. 2) The main reason for the difference for difference in sales is probably due to GM also selling the GMC Sierra alongside the Silverado.

[@grahamcouture6786]

Jeff Krus that, and I think that GM lost a lot of customers to Ford when they went bankrupt.

[@dineguitarist2148]

im a silverado guy i love my 2016 5.3 z71

[@everymandriver]

Thank you, Dave.

[@dineguitarist2148]

I like it but im not a fan of the air dam at the bottom ... I live in truck country almist all chevy guys have a beat up air dam at the bottom but i love the body color grille yeah. Shes a nice truck ... Im not a ram or f150 hater ... They are nice trucks but my 1500 is hot

[@josephdan2850]

You are 100 percent wrong. F-150 is only choice.

[@oncetime2926]

Im a chevy guy, but i can't stand the 2014 and up silverado are burning a lot of oil due to the flexfuel. I was also informed about front differential breaking/issues correct me if im wrong.

[@jrod264winmag]

I'm disappointed with my 2015 silverado it's back and forth to the dealer for water leaks and failed air conditioning an overwhelming number of these trucks are failing in these categories. Aside from that the seats are uncomfortable and the doors sound horrible if you are not carful when closing them. The next truck will be a Toyota.

[@hermar3656]

My dirt roads ruined my ford truck . So i got a chevy silverado and so far so good

[@destinynoon]

The main reason for me going with Ford has nothing to do with these numbers. May seem silly, but I hate not being able to TURN OFF Chevy headlights at night with the engine running, and I like the Ford doors opening up with a pull of the handle even if the door is locked.

[@countrymountaintrade]

GM truck headlights can be turned off by simply rotating the switch to off and they will stay off for that engine cycle. You have to pull the GM door handle twice for it to open when locked. First pull it remains locked for little hands that might be riding at arms length.

[@santosbarron3754]

Dude, i think you need vagasil.

[@davidm7971]

I personally prefer GM/Chevy over Ford, though Ford has made leaps and bounds on their quality over the last 20 or so years. I would drive either truck, as they are both awesome, but my preference still stands with the Chevy. Also, do not forget that the 10 speed Auto Transmission on the Ford was made in Partnership with GM/Chevy. Though currently I believe Chevy is only using it in the Camaro ZL1 (I could be wrong)

[@tonyr2360]

I know Chevy is going to offer the ten speed in the upcoming Tahoe RST. That's the only application outside of the Camaro I've heard of.

[@grahamcouture6786]

David McClure GM and Ford will be collaborating on several different projects, the 10 speed auto was the first of them, and Ford did more work on it than GM, but on the next one, GM will be doing more work than Ford. And yes, the 10 speed is on the ZL1.

[@TheSingleTrucker]

You are correct! An excellent collaboration between the two best selling pickup Makers! Gm will market the 10spd better in 2018, ford also. Which is good, no more ZF trans.

[@dennisgood2108]

GM worked with Ford/Lincon back in the 40's i believe to help build a 10 speed auto for a Lincon.They needed it to get the huge car going,and they did it for them.Kinda neat huh? Just think what they could do now a days working together.

[@MCMarchingBand1]

I've driven them both, and to be fair, they both have their ups and downs, but they're both great vehicles. I chose the 5.3 V8 Eco-tech Silverado due to the quietness of the cab and the quality of the ride and handeling.

[@brentreeve7554]

No "Chevy shake" above 65mph for yours?

[@JayJay-uw7br]

​@Brent Reeve not for me 2017 lt crew cab texas edition

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

ill always stick with the king of trucks...they win hands down all the time ...ford is just killing everyone now with the new raptor ...the f-150 last month out sold all 4 gm trucks in march...lmao

[@alphacapo]

Because everyone has 80 k to spend on a raptor! Give me a break.

[@briantbarnwell6077]

F-150 will always be on top and dem FACTS!!!💯

[@everymandriver]

Thank you, Dave.

[@bcleste]

Everyone always forgets about GMC when they talk about sales figures. It pulls people away from Chevy, it pulled me away.

[@kyleseaich5933]

The frame of the F-150 is NOT aluminum. It is high strength steel. You are talking about the body of the truck.

[@elijahk1019]

Ford = F-fixing O-or R-repairing D-daily

[@AgateBlackST]

both trucks have active grille shutters what u meant is Chevy has cylinder deactivation to save gas while ford has ecoboost and aluminum body panels

[@kingdaniel3519]

Where are you getting your power ratings? The 3.5 N/A V6 is only rated at 283 Hp and 255 lb-ft. Also, I notice that you failed to even mention payload for either truck.

[@chrisflair9596]

I don't know but I think I would go Chevy because my uncle owns a drilling company and had like three Ford's and all three were bad and he had to Sue Ford in order to get them to stand up to the warranty and took them back and tell them they can have the trucks back and went with Chevy and haven't had a problems out of those trucks it seems Ford has more to offer the cab is much more roomier but in all honesty they seem to have more recalls from my understanding

[@yoranidiot]

... I sure love the Ford Onstar feature!! ...no, WAIT, um, nevermind.. That's Chevy

[@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures]

Yora Nidiot 911? do you have that on the Chevy?

[@grahamcouture6786]

Not like you'll ever use it in the Chevy since they have poor crash test ratings, and the Ford trucks have more accident prevention technology.

[@66skate]

That's so they can track everywhere you go. If you forget to make the payments, they will immobilize the truck.

[@Coyote-wm5op]

I’ve had it in my Sierra and never used it once in 11 years.

[@natecollins1715]

Awesome breakdown....Fords Panoramic roof sold me...Kids riding in style looking up at the stars. Silverados new front end is pretty sweet though!

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

N/A 3.5L makes much less power than you stated. Those are the stats from the 5L V8.

[@jeffgreene468]

For MPG, my 2017 Sierra got 25.5 on a 50 mile average with the 5.3L with 8 speed trans. Though it is 4x4, I was in 2 wheel at the time.

[@brentlafont5005]

What about most reliable truck, chevy has never left me walking, ford has

[@nickb.6884]

Did you add in the GMC side of GM? For sales. Same truck for the most part just different badges.

[@sportsMike87]

the difference is Chevy has terribly annoying commericals!

[@chriswhit18cw]

[@tommytruth7595]

And the Ford start/stop horseshit. No thanks, Ford.

[@46rambo49]

lets not forget that Ford/Volvo wants a full electric fleet by 2020 except for big trucks and they support racist NFL players disrespecting the flag and all it stands for.

[@desmoface]

You’re not counting gmc sales #’s.

[@boydmerriman]

I do have a question about the Silverado since it is a GM vehicle, and so is the GMC, with exact same body style but with more style. If you consider Ford Trucks VS GM Trucks, (not just Chevy or GMC alone but as a whole) is Ford still the leader overall? They keep comparing Ford to Chevy, or Ford to GMC, but what about Ford to GM? My choice? I prefer GMC, but may have to go for Chevy due to price difference.

[@tadourm]

If you add in gmc Sierra, Gm actually sells more 1/2 ton trucks most years. Had a f150 for 3 years. Way to many little things that were wrong that dealership never admitted to needing fixed. Love my Silverado, so much nicer

[@insayn7995]

Silverado 6.2 all the way

[@HALWG51]

I agree with several of the comments below. Clean up the presentation, it's much too jumbled.

[@6speedsti241]

I realized where QUALITY resided over 55 years

[@louiesboys7161]

you need to include the fiat 1500 pickup truck

[@stevesguns]

Fyi the 3.5L doesn’t have 385 HP.. it’s 282hp.. if someone is really going to watch this video to make a decision plz don’t.. this guy is giving wrong information

[@lightningsmokerXx]

I always liked the look of the GM/ CHEVY trucks a little more. So i guess you'd say i prefer them of the big 3 trucks. But GM in modern era has a company has proven they can't be trusted (ignition scandal) and they are making some of their trucks in Mexico , where as the F150 is still made in the USA. If i had to buy a new truck between the two i'd prob go with the F150. Dodge quality is still not good. So for a Full Size truck in the half ton class i'd prob go Tundra (made in USA with many US made parts ) or Ford F150.

[@brianmoore1164]

Not showing the GMC sales numbers makes Ford's "best selling" nonsense look pathetic and sad. Everyone knows that the GMC trucks are just another set of trim packages. They are ALL General Motors.

[@everymandriver]

ok, thanks.

[@gthompson306]

I've owned and operated both....either will get you to 150k...Ford does it better....and yes, I've had odd issues with both.

[@grahamcouture6786]

gthompson306 this needed to be said. They are both good options, it just comes down to which one is better for you. If you want some of the technology features that Ford has, it is the better truck. If you want a tougher steel bed, Chevy is better, although the aluminum will do perfectly fine if you don't abuse it, which I personally wouldn't abuse my truck under any circumstance. I work hard for the money I spent on it!

[@matchman4983]

That's why they say Ford is the best in Texas

[@nyinfamous2k2]

loving these truck videos youve been doing recently.

[@maddog8148]

I’ll take the GMC Sierra Denali. Hands down over Ford and Chevy.

[@zzanatos2001]

The F-150 extended cab is not a 2-door model. It has suicide half doors on the rear of the cab.

[@northrockranch5973]

Is the Chevy at 1:09 a 2500?! Sure looks like it to me.

[@richardbutt788]

Gotta love those F150 ecoboosts

[@demolicionesdemexico]

The f150 its the only with a good marks on crash test.. ☺👍

[@tommytruth7595]

True. 5 stars.

[@shawnrobinson3030]

I decided on a Silverado mainly because my friend is a GM mechanic for 17 years and said he’s basically a maintenance guy now that they’re so well built and I know way to many people that have blown up their engines on fords. I just haul hockey gear and a boat so the aluminum would of been my choice because of rust issues i see on Chevy and rams but I just couldn’t get over all the engine problems of ford.

[@pete4261]

6.2L engine is actually 460 lb-ft

[@matthewbarnes7932]

Woah didn't know a NA V6 made 385 HP , must be correct

[@Tazman1966]

I'm a GM guy. I'm not saying one is better than the other but every Ford I had gave me hell. GM usually puts things where they make sense for me. GM motors always seemed to perform better as well. The new LS motors are amazing. I see people doing LS swaps in all kinds of vehicles but you rarely, if ever see anyone doing Ford swaps. If and when I needed a diesel, I went with the 7.3 and it was badass. Chevy always seemed to drop the ball in that area but I haven't heard anything on the newer 6.6.

[@gottruth5359]

Don't forget the $500 Eassist hybrid option for the Silverado, adds 44 ft lbs of torque and another 13 hp to the 5.3 l 355. Mileage matches the 4.3 V6.

[@actfitwil]

The professor was incorrect on a lot of his information, for example Ford Cabs come in 2Door ,4Door and 4 Door. Reg Cab 2D, super cab = Ext Cab is 4D. and Crew cab is 4D. To the professors credit he did say if he was wrong we should correct him in our post below. Although He under represented Ford in several categories they still came out on top. That say's a lot!!!

[@Giggidygiggidy12]

buy both brands and keep America working

[@dgushardy1]

Sorry professor. I got a 2017 Silverado crew cab for 36k vs 38k out the door for f150 without touch screen, not chromed out and no remote start. The Chevrolet is fly. Came with more features. Looks better than an f150. I just don't think I would have enjoyed looking at that ford for the next 4-8 years. The interior 5th seat serves as a nicer console vs the ford.

[@k9fgdg]

All good on the Ford choice, RIGHT up until you have a fender bender...fixing aluminum will be TWICE the cost. Check out the insurance pricing before you buy... I'm a Ford Truck guy but.....

[@bigeazy3852]

You definitely chose the better truck in the f-150, but I would like to see how the Ram 1500 stacks up against these two. Keep up the good work.

[@SlangJeezy]

Test drove a Silverado 6.2 and a F150 3.5 ecoboost back to back. I drove home in the 17 F150 and I can start the truck from my phone or my key fob. How can a Chevy Silverado high Country cost near $60K and not come with push button start and complete keyless entry?

[@yoranidiot]

I do that with my COLORADO! and yeah, it's on the Silverado too. Ford's just a tad late to the tech party..

[@SlangJeezy]

Yora Nidiot Nope, no push buttons start on Silverado no matter​ what trim level. Ford is behind in technology how?

[@SlangJeezy]

Yora Nidiot You were speaking about the phone app to start the vehicle. Yes, Chevy has had that for a few years, but no push button start? Why not both?

[@Joshanthony10]

please...PLEASE, CHEVY DON'T EVER PUT PUSH START BUTTON ON TRUCKS!!!. Keep that girlie stuff on small cars.

[@SlangJeezy]

Joshanthony10 Right, it's so girlie to not have to take a key and put it in the ignition. I think I'm gonna rip out my push button start now.

[@trivsingaraju5534]

U left out a vital note on the sales numbers on the Chevy side, which is GMC. If u add these 2 GM brands up for the same vehicle categories, than the delta between Ford and GM is pretty little.

[@georgehembrow5398]

Guys stop arguing...ford rules!!!! 😂

[@alonzomendoza5393]

If you combine sierra and Silverado sales. They sold more units than the f150 so that kind of mis leading

[@alonzomendoza5393]

You can't really go wrong all new trucks are very well put together it's more of personal preference

[@grahamcouture6786]

Yes, it really is. These days it's more about what looks best to you and which truck has the features you want most.

[@tommytruth7595]

Both are overpriced and not made as well as they should be. Just go with the brand from a dealer that is convenient to your home or work because both will spend time in their service dept.

[@lonnieiihuffman4405]

The F-150 stats on horsepower and torque on 5.0 are rated on 2016 models and all 2017 are mated to 10 AT with the exception of 3.5 naturally aspirated

[@tupole272]

Silverado production began in 87? Yet My dad had a 79 Silverado?? Ok then. Maybe It became its own model in 87 ? But before then it was an upgrade package?

[@everymandriver]

Thank you for your taking the time to leave a comment - Dave

[@VladoooThe]

Ford has 1 2-door option and 2 4-door options, they are just sucide doors. The bed is 5"6' not 5"5'. The 3.5 N/A V6 is 285hp not 385. The F150 also comes with a 36 gallon tank with the 3.5TT and V8. Also, you forget to mention that body rust is a thing of the past with the aluminum body, and no minivan shifter in the F150 haha

[@camerontso1842]

You didn't get that into the engine designs such as overhead valves, dual overhead cams, how many valves each engine has, fuel injection, vvt or vvl, how each engine is made, how the turbos are set up in the fords and why gm went naturally aspirated.

[@everymandriver]

Thanks.

[@maxhenry8176]

As soon as i saw the title of this video, and then saw the pictures of the trucks being reviewed i immediately thought to myself "this person is either sloppy, or doesn't know what they are talking about, or both. After watching the video, most of it anyway, i concluded it's probably both. The silverado picture is a 2500, or 3500 hd, not a 1500. You said the normally aspirated 3.5 puts down 385 hp and 387 lb ft of torque. Those are the numbers for the 5.0. The 3.5 ffv is NOWHERE near that. You also said the 6.2 chevy puts out 450 lb ft of torque. No, it puts out 460 lb ft. At least you got the horsepower right on that one.

[@kevin122759]

To be fair, add the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado together and you will see sales are pretty equal with Ford.

[@AkronKid330]

Ford! F150. Always on top. No excuses Chevy fans

[@bigbrit41]

[@marcuss5554]

So what happens when you put the GMC Sierra Sales with the silverado?

[@everymandriver]

Hmmm

[@jpmartinez961]

Would of liked to see the combined sales numbers of the Chevy and gmc, imho it’s the same truck.

[@Tazman1966]

I had a 1977 Silverado. I think you may be mistaken about it starting in 1987

[@Pureservize1]

Professor Dave I like the videos but I just cant go out and spend this large amount of money on a pickup truck. It is just a shame that the average American cant buy a new pickup at an affordable price. Sure we could lease it but its a truck its going to get used as one. Just my opinion on it. I'll just search the used market when I'm in the market for a truck. What ever happened to the poor mans Cadillac ???

Pureservice A work truck is 20-25 k if you cannot afford that you are doing something wrong .

[@kingdaniel3519]

I disagree. A basic work truck shouldn't be more than 20K. You can't even get a basic 4x4 for under 30.

[@sarahann530]

Daniel Bell So you are a communist and believe in price controls . Interesting

[@sarahann530]

Won'tRespond These "regulations " have forced the manufacturers to up their game and provide better products . If people like you and pureservice cannot keep up and compete then that's on you

[@mouahmong]

It's possible to get it under $30k! Ford does promotions all the time. I was recently shopping for a truck. Found quite a few of them priced at ~28k that were the base s'crew XL's with 4x4 but no options. Since it was more of a purchase for my wife, upgraded to the XLT Sport with luxury package. It had a listed MSRP for ~50k but during June/early-July Ford had promotions on their XLT trims that totaled ~10k off, haggled 5k off the asking price from dealer, with taxes, fees, and 6/100k warranty total price I paid was 38k. Buying any vehicle is all about doing your homework (know what the MSRP is, dealers always mark up the price then add in fees for more profit, you can always haggle that mark-up down to MSRP), willingness to walk away from the deal, and planning/timing (i.e. if you know you'll be needing to replace/purchase a vehicle within a year, start window shopping until you find a good deal).

Does anyone everything about all those GMC pickups? I wonder how many pickups GM puts out? I’d bet they would be about even.

[@mitchstavely1]

The F150 with the coyote motor (Lariat) Not sure if the Silverado is past the piston slap yet.

[@hazelrah321]

what about long term reliability ?

[@gordgillespie4553]

Chevy and gmc pickups are the same truck, so why not add the sales together to get total sales

[@everymandriver]

If they're the same truck, then why do they have different names? Shouldn't they be called the same name if they're the same?

[@gordgillespie4553]

Everyman Driver GMC is the only major not to combine their truck lines.When Chrysler had Dodge and Plymouth dealers, one carried Dodge trucks and the other Fargo trucks, Ford dealers had the Ford pickup and the Mercury dealers sold the Mercury pickup, and Chev/Olds dealers had the Chevrolet pick up and the Pontiac/Olds and the GMC truck dealerships sold the GMC branded pickup. Nowadays there are fewer name brands from the three domestics and Chevrolet is the only one left that has not combined their pickup under one name.

You got the ford 3.5 v6 non-turbo hp and torque wrong its 282 hp and 253 torque check the ford website for proof.

[@jefferyabeare3344]

need to speak of rear diff ratios. Example my 2011 F150 3.5 eco only came with 3:73 rear axle, now since the aluminum body rear gear ratio for max tow package on super crew ( which I have ) you get 3:55 only. GMC from 3:08- 3:42. according to my local Chevrolet dealer the max gearing is 3:42 in their 6.2 crew cab tow max package. I have heard rumors it can be had with 3:73. So far I've not been able to lock that down, maybe you guys can. Also only 1 box length for the GMC truck 6.2 tow max. 5ft and a little, not enough for me, at least. My F150 has 6' 6" which I have found on most travel trailer hauling isn't too much when coolers, bbq grill, generator ect, ect. So I know the GMC 5' and change is going to be too small, at least for me. Know I know people will say to put more stuff in the trailer but if you don't load cargo correctly in the trailer that starts and sometimes ends in disaster. I tow a 32' travel trailer and my F150 eco does seem to me to strain some in larger inclines and at over 70-75 mph it won't shift to 6th gear on its own. at 50-60 mph 6th gear, no problems and I do especially love the trailering control program on the truck in that when I connect the wiring the truck program is also shared by the trailer to activate which wheels need braking done by the program in the truck. Should one find themselves in a sudden change in conditions ie. passing a big rig or being surrounded by woods on each side of the expressways and you get a big blast of wind ( which I have ) the computer shuts down the radio volume, stsrts appling brakes to the truck and trailer to straighten out the situation and does an excellent job of doing so. I was going 60 mph and thought I was headed for disaster but not the case with this built in program which is standard on all F150's or was. After comparison shopping when I bought the truck GMC never offered a trailer tow enhancement to whatever you towed except for the trailer lights. The 3.5 is quite powerful and I had to do my due diligence just to see how the truck would perform in a loaded down condition. So on a day with very little traffic I decided to see what she had. From a 40 mph roll I gassed it up, held to the wood as we say, now trying to pay attention to everything the next available time I had to look at the speedo we were passing the 95 mph mark and I immediately got right out of it as that was more than plenty for me and I've towed many a trailers over many years and NO I do not advocate or advise anyone try it unless you have access to private facilities. Now if FORD WOULD JUST FIX THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE KEENLY AWARE OF AND HAVE BEEN SINCE 2011 AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT MADE A PERMANENT FIX YET. YES I'M TALKING ABOUT 2017'S AS WELL. Thank you for this opportunity!!

[@TheSingleTrucker]

Jeffery Abeare I know I'm glad to hear a 2011 3.5 eco has made it this far! Ford makes lemons, too. Gives me tons of hope for my 2017, as I do alot of cross country driving.

[@evilcnil]

The LS engine on the Chevy is very durable, but I would get the F150 because of the aluminum body, it will never rust.

[@jesuschavez7127]

Some of your numbers are wrong. And you're not consistent when going through with the categories. I.e. 2wd chevy, rwd ford. Technically the same thing but mistakes like these can be misleading and show bias

[@everymandriver]

Jesus Chavez thanks

[@ericpalacios7090]

I when from Atlanta to Houston Texas with my 2016 f150 v8 5.0 4x4 with custom off road tires with one fuel tank

[@alexanderestk]

The question should be, what's similar? The answer? Not a Ram.

[@jpmartinez961]

Also, you didn’t speak about GM cylinder deactivation.
