2020 GMC Sierra vs 2020 Ford F-150

January 27 2020 -

Buying a new full-size truck is never a task to be taken lightly. The last few years have seen revised or completely new entries, all of which have been improved in every considerable way. The few full-size light-duty trucks available in Canada account for no less than 21% of all new vehicle sales. As such, the stakes are very high.

Now, the Ford F-150 continues to dominate the segment – we’ll not pretend it’s not the case. The fact of the matter is that despite it being a good truck, there are equal or better ones on offer that you should consider. Given that you are here, it’s safe bet that the all-new 2020 GMC Sierra has piqued your interest, and with reason.

These trucks are designed to do all the heavy lifting as well as keep everyone on board comfortable and safe. As these vehicles often double as family and working tools, they can be equipped with the latest in infotainment and safety technology. Depending on trim, the Ford and GMC can include an 8-inch touchscreen, 10-way power front seats, premium audio, Wi-Fi hotspots, and loads more. Safety-wise, lane-keeping assist, front collision assist, blind spot assist and much more are accessible. As well, a form of trailer hitch guidance is also available on both trucks.

When it comes to hauling anything in the truck’s bed, the GMC Sierra provides unmatched advantages. First, the World’s first six-function GMC MultiPro tailgate gives a whole new meaning to bed versatility. Second, GMC is the first truck-maker to call upon carbon fibre as the chosen material for the bed. This material is not only lightweight but it is nearly indestructible. Furthermore, the 2020 GMC Sierra’s bed is the deepest in the segment.

As far as powertrains are concerned, Ford and GMC have an answer for every question. In an industry first however, the GMC Sierra can be powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 348 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the ideal mill for the urban truck. Moving on, both brands offer a 6-cylinder diesel, some V8s and while Ford puts emphasis on their EcoBoost turbocharged V6 engines, the bottom line is that GMC V8s like the 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter are as or more fuel efficient.

Towing capacity is another key component in these trucks’ abilities. Both are capable, when fitted with the proper engine and accompanying equipment, of towing in excess of 13,000 lb.

Historically, GMC (and Chevrolet) have built the longest lasting, most dependable full-size trucks. This enviable reputation was long-ago earned and remains true in 2020. It’s your turn to find out first-hand how good these trucks are.
