My wife of 48 years only suggested one time for me to buy a vehicle. It sure wasn’t a raptor.

Maybe it’s that Ford is the most popular. Has a proven diesel. Has more driving aids for heavy duty pulling. More choices in the engine department. Has a real high performance off roader like the raptor. You can get 400 HP in a mid size SUV. Has the cheapest 4 door small pickup. And then there’s the bronco. For the electric fans, lightning and mustang. Chevys are trailing right now in every category. The Camaro is dated. Mid engine corvette, no thanks. I think I covered most of it. If you’re talking about the forum itself, I have no problems with it. 

 

The biggest difference, in my opinion, is the ordering process.

 

Your order, practically speaking, enters the national build queue almost immediately.  It's not so much based on each individual dealer's allocation.

 

Therefore, delivery times are way more predictable for Ford.  If someone else across the national is experiencing a delay or a constraint, it's probably similar for everyone.

GM makes good cars I like ,my 2500 GMC,  but what you said is spot on.  Only reason im in GM is the discount.

 

My 2015 F150 ecoboost blew the 2014 GM redesign out of the water I had.  Also had a 2012 F250 diesel where short of the radio was no further dated then the 21 2500 Chevy I had.  Gm rolls around even today with deisgn and interior that isnt much different then the 2007 1500 silverado I had.

 

Difference is GM sells things they want to.  Ford and Ram, both sell things that customes want.

I like GM's optioning/packaging better on the heavy duty trucks than Ford's. The LT trim really is the sweet spot and provides a ton of value compared to the XLT trim. Can't get leather or dual zone climate control on the XLT, which other than heated seats is all I want in terms of creature comforts. It's nice you can get all three on the LT with out having to go crazy with options on an LTZ/Lariat. Hopefully that continues with 2024 ordering.

I compared the f250 when I bought my  21 2500,  Ford was finally coming out with the dual climate zone on the XLT either in 21 or 22.   Still missing the boat on leather.  Gm though didnt at least then have 360 camera, wirless phone etc.  GMs infotainment system just sucks too.  What bothers me about GM is their lack of colors and then optioning,  go beyond black or white on a chevy and you cant add anything to them.

I'm very much looking forward to this truck, looking for more information on the ZR2 trim though, should be a nice upgrade from my 2020 Silverado Trailboss LT with the 6.2

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
