Why get the diesel? The gas Titan outperforms the diesel.

Unless you're partial to more expensive fuel and maintenance, I don't get it.

Ford is at the top of my list right now.

Those who say never another ford again...please state why.

Wish I could have the ram infotainment system, GMC exterior and ford interior

For those 3 the gmc is a distant third.

Ford first

Dodge second

Had the dodge and gmc as rental vehicles. They are nice, but the gmc felt so much smaller and less powerful than the dodge.

GMC exterior and ford interior 


We rent new Tahoes and Expeditions all the time for work trips, Ive got a pretty fair amount of wheel time behind both. Im not sure how the current trucks correlate to the current suvs, but I'll take the GM every day. Its so much more comfortable than the Ford. To me, its not close.

I went from a z71, to a f150 4x4, to a tundra.

No comparison. Tundra blows the others out of the water.

Of the three I would pick the ford. I have an 09 Silverado ltz with 140,000 miles and have had a bunch of issues with it. Automatic folding mirrors went out at 50k miles, Throttle position sensor went out at 70k miles, rear window control went out at 100k miles, gas pedal sensor went out at 130k miles, had to wire a new headlight socket yesterday, been burning oil since 80k miles, and recently my cruise control has been acting up.

The ford might not be any better, but my current trucks issues will keep me from purchasing a GM in the future.

Was there a strike at all the GM manufacturing plants for the 09 year? They have to be the worst trucks out there. I dumped mine. Too many problems.

I love my 16 f150 but I'd take a yukon over an expedition any day.

I used to be a Chevy man, but after having a few of them and a few Fords, now a Ford man.

Chevys look great, but just don't hold up. Tired of replacing door handles, tailgate handles, sensors. Cheap arse interior parts breaking all the time.

I go to auto auctions every week. GM vehicles have the absolute worst interior parts of any manufacturer. Dodge the same. Toyota is the best and Ford second.

I have to believe all the people bashing GM are referencing the 07-13 bodystyle. I'm a gm guy and I can admit those trucks were very underwhelming and even had me looking at the F150. The 2014+ silverados and sierras are vastly improved. I've driven both the new Ford and Silverado a good bit, no complaints about either.

Drive what you like.

My family has never had luck with Fords. Dodge gas motors are terrible. I've been a Chevy guy all my life but my next truck will be a GMC. Same manufacturer I know but much nicer than a Silverado.

Tundra and Titan both get terrible gas mileage.

I really like how the new GMCs look. I just can't get over their anemic motor. The 5.3 needs a serious overhaul.

The 6.2, well that's a different story...

Said this the other day about the eco boost on the OT.
Trip hunting to Paris, Tn. 14 6.2 Denali 16.1 mpg pulling 12' trailer with ranger, truck loaded with gear and guys. Two weeks later same load same guys 3.5 ecoboost 11.9. Eco stayed spooled up entire trip. The tow haul mode is clunky paired with the 3.5.

It's all about each owners reality with prior trucks they have owned.

I was an early adopter of the Titan XD. It has been great so far. Tows better than any gas engine i've had including two different tundra. I'm not saying it is better than anyones else truck but giving a real opinion as I have 13K miles mostly towing too.
