Talk me out of getting a Chevy/GMC

why didnt you go with the 5.0 or 6.2?

I would never talk someone out of making a great common sense decision......Sierra for the win

I've got a 14 chevy and the ride is not great. Once you get up to 65-70 the front seats all shake. It's done it since I took it off the lot. I've had them look into it and always get the same "there's nothing wrong" answer. I've talked to multiple people with chevy's and they say theirs does the same thing. Not sure if it's just the 14's or what but it drives me crazy

MY '15 Sierra is smooth as silk....unless I'm leaving a parking lot & then it's like every truck

Reminds me of my Tacoma. I couldn't talk to anyone if I was going over 10 because of the Swamper noise. This was before Bluetooth too


The new GM trucks are fast as hell, and their cabin is like a $100k car

I just went from a 2011 Ecoboost to a 2016 5.0. The ride is incredible compared to the 11. It's like night and day. I will say the 5.0 motor is significantly louder than the Ecoboost. It almost sounds like it has exhaust on it, but it doesn't sound bad. Maybe I'm just not used to the V8 sound after having the Ecoboost. If you haven't test drove the new F-150 you need to go do it.

Did the GM trucks ever make the backseat bigger?

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra that I bought new also. I love it. Never had any problems with it. I would never buy a Ford.

I had a 14 Silverado Z71 LTZ. Thought I loved it, until some issues came up. Clunky, clunky shifting. Figured out I had to disable the engine braking with the tow haul button every time I got in it. All my rocker panel paint was flaking off in big flakes. Beautiful primer underneath the paint though. Steering started having a bad clunk. Rear end popped while turning tight, had it looked at twice and they said it was normal. Bluetooth would disconnect in the middle of calls. Best thing that happened was it flooding. Had 44,000 miles and was a turd. Now I have a 16 f150 5.0 and it blows away the Chevy. Miss my corner bumper steps though!!!!

% American Made

Buy a Ford and support American workers. Ford F-150 is 85% American content while GM trucks are only 72%. Additionally, all Ford F-150s are made in either Michigan or Missouri whereas a good portion of GM trucks are assembled in Mexico. If you do choose to buy GM, get a truck with a VIN that starts with a 1 and avoid the ones that start with a 3.
