Why only Ford trucks Hype?? - Page 2

I just traded my 2015 Silverado. I will get another one... but what is there to talk about. GM has done nothing new. Now fancy track pack, no fancy blown version, there just trucks. They get the job done but nothing to talk about. Personally, I hate there new "Special Editions" to me a Z28, 454 SS, Lightening are special editions. Not a stupid sticker on the side of the truck.

When GM releases a super charged 2x4 V8, Short Bed regular cab. I will be waiting at the front door to buy it.

When our shop started moving to F450 Super Duty's from C30s in '96 it was a night and day better overall vehicle.

I imagine for your family pickup you pick the most comfortable but for a real work vehicle you can't beat the Fords.

They are all good and have their pluses. None of them are just a bad choice.

My first preference would be the new GMC. But the other three are all VERY close behind, and I'm not sure I could put an order of preference on them. Just my opinion.

Chevy needs more trucks like this out there...

Didn't consider the RAM at all and didn't test drive the Chevy.. I was told at the time they had no incentives.. First truck and I ended up in a Ford. Sat in a buddy's Sierra recently and didn't like it better than my truck, but didn't drive it or anything.

Of course they sell more, every 2 years you have to buy a new one cause the last one is broken down.

No incentives? The Ford dealer tell you that?

The tech in the fords seems to have surpassed the chevys.
The f150 and the raptor gets the big sunroof 360* camera etc

Like why can't the Colorado get 360 camera too. All these no brainer things seem to be held up in approvals. Like I need to get a canyon Denali to get cooled seats and heatesld steering wheel but the zr2 can't?

Raptor gets everything you want to ad

Yeah, my 2015 Explorer Sport had a heated steering wheel, also heated/cooled seats... for those that don't know how nice a heated steering wheel is in cold weather, it's REAL NICE!

I had heated grips on my Gold Wing, and vowed to always have them on my bikes.

Let's be fair now, my '13 F-150 FX4 SuperCrew is running like it's brand new at over 108k miles.

The '18 MCE is nice, but I think I'll hold out for the next gen before pick up another.

You and maybe 10 other people, and that's why it won't happen.

Just razzing, although I am an not a Ford fan I can say they are not total crap.

Having said that, I wonder how Ford claim to #1 selling truck would stack up if GM reported the Sierra and Silverado sales as one model instead of 2.
