My time with a 2015 F-150

[f8l vnm]

The Duramax constantly out pulls the Ford and Ram, GM is fine there. As for the 1500 I'd rather see GM make the 6.2 available across the whole line. I don't want all the fluff on the LTZ/SLT. Nor can I afford it. Pics and answers once I get back to the hotel.

I thought the f350 and ram3500 both had better tow ratings then the gm hd diesels? Both make 100+ lb tq. More the the gm boys

They are all closer than how they are advertised.

Ratings I'm unsure about. But in terms of actual performance the Duramax has beaten the other two for years. Those TFL guys do the grade test a few times each year in different configurations and GM always seems to win.

Isn't it great to own the best?

There was an unlocked crew Lariat today at the Ford dealer across the street from the Chevrolet dealer.

 

Exterior aesthetics aside.

 

Liked the leather seat, the twin panel moon roof & the lever/handle to open the door when getting out.

They definitely have some better paint choices from the Tuxedo black, Guard metallic & what ever their

metallic copper color is. Lariat wheels looked really good too.

 

Disliked how far away everything seemed. The window/locks are almost out of reach when the seat is set. May be it is just me?

For Lariat trim @ $50k+, the steering wheel seemed work truck grainy plastic. Am not a fan of the small buttons for the radio/hvac. But then

again, with the truck running am sure most of that would be through the touch screen. The sync system plug ins are wedged

where the center stack meets the console down in a hole. Seemed awkward. Even the trailer brake control is almost out of sight &

it is on the right hand side. For all the real estate that is the dash/console, they could have laid it out better.

 

Not bashing it, just nothing there to make me ditch my current truck to get one.

I wish GM had comparable color choices too! Ford has some great colors.. Does that moon roof open or is it just a solid piece of glass? If it doesn't open Id rather have a smaller roof that opened

Hehe, had to look it up. The front glass slides under the back half, or the front can also tilt up.

This is a Lariat video, you can see the wheels & some of the stuff in the interior I mentioned.

The dealer was closed yesterday, they just forgot to lock the thing over the weekend.
