I'll give GMC one nod; ford takes much wider turns. GMC was way easier to park/get out.

I have noticed that too, RB. I think the wheelbases are similar, but the Ford feels longer when turning.

I'd be curious to know the steering ratios in each.

The biggest difference I noticed when I switched to a Ford was the ride. I feel like I'm riding on a cloud.


Dodge has the best ride out there imo. Not that close. My dads is 8 years old and rides better than any other truck I have ridden in, and I have ridden in everything.

When you get older you will quit listening to "reviews" and think for yourself.

Those reviews are bought and paid for every year.

If you go off the reviews, you shouldn't have owned anything other than a DODGE for the last couple years.

Think about that. A dodge.

The best are when they are doing a review on the most capable off road and they give a rating on highway ride comfort.

Now you have to suffer the crummy ride that Ford has man,

Yukon XL have the best ride and no one denies it.

Dodge has really stepped up their game since being bought out by Mercedes.

I just can't get past the front section of them for some reason.

about to trade in my '12 lariat. electrical problems out the arse. straight killed on me on the interstate the other day, and the past few weeks the cruise hasnt been working, windows havent been going down, and when i turn the truck off it acts almost like the battery has died, wont start for a few minutes and when it does, everything resets.

that being said, the interior is 100% better than my 2011 sierra. more room, and just seems better built.

I'm not overly knowledgeable but this sounds like the truck isn't grounded right to me. Could be a very simple fix.

Do you realize that GM paid back all of their loans? Not only did they pay them back but they did it on the Feds' terms earlier than required. I do not understand why people are still upset. Hopefully you took a few economics classes and learned about to big to fail. It would have more detrimental to the country if they would have gone under. Fact.
