The Ford F-150 vs. The GMC Sierra 1500

Throughout history, the Ford Motor Company has defined the pickup truck segment with its iconic design, robust craftsmanship and undeniably superior performance. However, with models such as the GMC Sierra 1500 rivaling the Ford F-150 within the segment, drivers may find themselves unsure about their next pickup truck purchase. However, while seemingly comparable, the Ford F-150's superior performance and steadfast mechanical fortitude sets it well beyond the closest competitor, and squarely ahead of the GMC Sierra 1500.

Safety, Technology and Interior

Both the GMC Sierra 1500 and Ford F-150 boast five-star NHTSA safety ratings. However, while the GMC Sierra 1500 uses plastic interior trim pieces to adorn the dash and cabin, the Ford F-150's upper trims utilize premium materials to not only enhance interior comfort, but the overall ruggedness of the interior. Furthermore, the Ford F-150's military-grade aluminum-alloy body offers drivers more nimble handling, significant payload capacity, an improved ride quality and assurance of safety - in addition to the fully boxed high-strength steel frame. Further amended with the advanced and intuitive SYNC® available infotainment system, the Ford F-150 offers drivers a more ergonomic and streamlined interior, built with purpose and a keen attention to detail that surpasses the shoddy construction and reliance on plastic fittings found within the GMC Sierra 1500.
