No real info aside from seeing the trucks side by side & at least Ford had a GM truck with the 6.2L instead of the 5.3L.

If you want pure power the GM takes the win. This really surprised me, that Ford AND Ram just backed off the big power V8s in the half ton, considering they both made comparable engines.

 

Casualty of CAFE I guess

How has Ram backed off big V8s? The 5.7 is still available. They just sell the diesel for people who don't mind a slow truck and want high MPG.

They sell the 6.4 in the HD trucks like Ford does in the SD trucks. 410 hp, and that's in HD tune(look at GMs under tuned HD V8s)

. That could easily make more power.

^^^ Interesting. That's less than 1/16th of a mile. I wonder how the results would have came out on a longer track.

Really like how the F150 looks, but would rather have it with GM's 6.2 vs the eco boost over the years in long term ownership.

 

Am surprised no one here is talking about Fords pricing on this thing. Think (w/o watching it again)the KR in the first video was over S62,000?

The claim it was the only space they had is total BS. It's Ford! They easily could've had a real strip rented for the press event but they didn't. I'd bet anything that the big motors would school their little turbo one.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I know those little Eco Boost engines make a lot of torque in the lower RPM range, but I bet the big V8's would run off and leave them once they got the RPM's up and came alive. And, with GM's crummy factory tuning and torque management, they were probably just starting to pull hard when the drivers had to shut them down, lol

I agree with you there Mike, and I'd like to add since Ford Put on this little Dog and Pony show, I suspect they tried every dirty trick they know to try to make their Toyota Nosed, Overhyped EGOBoosted, Coke Can on Wheels look better than Chevrolet or Ram.

The videos (to me) made the Ram product line look old & out dated.

 

Was kind of surprised by the photo attached of the old & new F150 in terms of similarity.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
