I'm knee deep in something I hate most and thats buying a new truck...

I can get a GMC Sierra SLT preferred crew 4x4 for 46(TTL) with sticker of 55k

Or I can get a Ford F150 XLT with leather and v8 4x4 FX4 for 45(TTL), sticker 49.

Test drove both today, the Ford seems to drive smaller, while the GMC hood feels like it's a mile long. I really haven't started negotiating with the Ford yet, and the GMC Body style is in it's last year.

I'm leaning towards the Ford b/c there seems to be alot more room in the rear seat. The GMC seems to be the better deal but I'm just concerned about the new body style coming out soon.

What says the OB???

I'm assuming someone had the leather put in the XLT?

Robinson Bros has several XLTs out on Sherwood that say "free leather and liner" across the front. I'm guessing it's a promo/free add on in some.

Me either but I sit in traffic at Sherwood and Airline every morning headed to drop my kid off at school. They are definitely XLTs.

I know it's only looks, but I don't like the square wheel wells on the GMC.

I drive a F150 but I've driven most other brands. I would think that you could get a deal on a model year closeout on the GMC if you don't mind it being the previous model a few months later. If you do you can always wait a few months.

I like my F150. It handles like a car and the back seat is huge. No complaints so far. I have a fairly basic 2wd XLT.

I really like my 2016 SLT. But full disclosure I am a GMC guy.

Ford interiors don’t work for me. The layout, the plastic, etc.

GMC’s corner bumper steps are a super nice feature. And the brand is a little more exclusive.

Only thing F150 has that I really want in my truck is the panoramic sunroof.

I always go and read all the forums and see which one is more reliable/l and or having more problems. For what it’s worth I have personally NEVER had good luck with a Chevy product. But know a lot of people who have! Good luck.

I'm an older guy, I like a comfortable, good riding trucks. It's hard to beat an F-150 ford ride comfort, IMO.

You should be getting at least $10k off any new domestic. Especially right before the '19s hit the lot. Keep shopping.

Why is that funny? GMC sells many fewer trucks than Ford.

How about instead of exclusive I say ‘unusual’? Does that work for you dickhole?

‘And the brand is a little more unusual.’

No, because they sell over 200k of them a year. That may be the dumbest reason I've ever heard to pick one truck over the other on TD. Impressive.

You really are an insufferable twat.

Since one can’t throw a napkin without hitting an F150, you really think that a fair number of people wouldn’t want to buy a truck that sells many many less units just to be different? That is almost the entire reason GMC exists genius (GM’s own research shows this - most GMC buyers don’t cross even cross shop Chevy).

Come on and get the last word because I know you have to do it. You are one of the millions or billions of people online to have to ‘win’ an argument. Come on, be clever.
