I love my 2022 Carbonize Gray F250 Tremor with the black appearance package, 7.3, matching tinted windows… and the 4:30 rear diff works very well. Sure, independent front suspension helps ride quality, but solid front helps carry loads and towing. 7.3 gasser is a good bit lighter than the diesel and that definitely helps off roading… and can mod the 7.3 to get up to 1,300 HP! 700-800 easily. Get what you want.
Very competitive comparison with these two. Even though the gmc has a little better aesthetics outside, ford has the interior and im taking a powerstroke over dmax. I also am partial to that solid front axle over ifs.
You are correct on the 3500 for GMC. I think all they need is a slight lift, locker, and the same tires as the 2500. I don’t plan on jumping my 1 ton so I don’t need the fancy shocks lol
GMC lost me when they went to the 2020 HDs, I couldn't tolerate the 8 foot tall front end or those tow mirrors. But that's just opinion. However now having driven an F-350 for 4 years I really know what I was missing. Ford makes trucks, GM now makes toys for looks it's as simple as that.
Facts- The Ford F350 6.7 better for ride, towing, long term reliability, definitely carries more class than any other truck on the road. American made diesel engine and best interior.
The Ford Gas and diesel have more power but more importantly get the load down the road better. I have a 7.3 and just drove a 6.6 gas cause I felt the GMC looks better...but no way is there enough grunt to pull my 16k boat and skid steer. The tranny shifts way different and under load felt anemic. The dealer was gracious enough (bought a few vehicals from them) to let me hook up my skid steer cause otherwise the truck rode and felt great not under any load. The dash looks better in the GMC but everything else I prefer the Platinum...especially the seats. I will most likely get another 7.3 platinum in 2025 unless GM gets a few more ponies and tranny shift schedules at better rpms to work with the torque of the motor.
So you're sayin a dealership let you hook your 16k skid steer to a vehicle you don't own and go for a test drive? And the additional 11 lbs of torque in the ford made a huge difference?
@@mikelang8753 Yes that's what I said. The tranny is also different in the way it shifts. The dealer is in D'Iberville MS. We have bought a few BMW's from them and my partner has a 24 GMC Duramax. The salesperson really wants me to get into the GMC. For me it's right down the street and would be so much better for service. It just didn't work and I don't want diesel.
No death wobble on a 24 platinum tremor. You can take your hands off the wheel at 90 if you wanted and it would do dead straight. Most cases it’s due to a bad alignment or level/ lift kit that causes it.
@@Billybob50119 lol doubtful if it’s lifted right it won’t happen only when people get cheap kits with coil spacer lifts without proper shims. Carli, bds, and wicked all ride perfectly even better than factory even.
@@TonkaFire2019 most departments around me still have 2017-19 f350s. The 21 and up are supposed to be better suspensions. Definitely the 23-24 are for sure.
Another great review. Thank you. I’m trying to decide what to buy. I live in Ohio and there are a lot more GMC s available in the Denali Ultimate and AT4x than Ford Platinum / King Ranch Tremor package pickups. I love the look of the GMC but I’ve learned that the more highly defined looking vehicle will usually become dated sooner than the basic “Ford” look. My wife can clearly tell the difference between the past GMC HD and the present HD. However, she can’t easily tell the difference between the 2017 HD and the 2024 HD. Of course the RAM is king of keeping the same body / interior the same for decades. One other advantage the Ford offers me is corrosion issues are rare.
My Silverado 3500 LT was $73k and has a 4k lb payload. I put a Cognito 4 inch lift and 37s. Looks bad ass, better than both these trucks. And when AEV starts selling their bumpers it’s game over. Should have compared the AEV edition since the Ford is a top of the line platinum.
Good review. I have the Ford. I do like the stance on the GM though and you didn't cover the skid plates. Off road the GM has the advantage with better off road tires. But i agree with the rest of your observations.
I don’t understand why GM hasn’t offered power pedals, power steering adjustments and panoramic roof. One other item that drives me nuts is GM doesn’t offer accent interior lighting.
I haven't bought neither of these trucks. Because I want to find out the most reliable longevity one. What has the better power train for longevity? And that's the one I would buy help.
Agreed than not adding the AT4X to a 3500's option list is a fail. I wouldn't buy a 3/4 ton with a personally diesel personally. It eats up too much of the trucks payload. I would just go straight for a one ton if I wanted something more capable than a 1/2 ton. Going with an 1 ton doesn't add a bunch to the price over a 3/4 ton either. A 3/4 ton will ride a little nicer though, but when managing a heavy load the 1 tons really start to stand out over a 3/4 ton.
@@Billybob50119 it’s a easy fit just upgrade to a fox shock when lifting it or leveling it. Bds kit would be far superior to the factory at4x suspension even.
The ford will smoke the gmc. Had the 2022 gmc duramax. Traded in for ford tremor f250 . Ford has more power and is more solid has a solid front axle not a cheap front end. It's good on half ton pickups but not three quarter and 1ton pickups. Gm trucks don't last on the farm like the fords. No solid axle means failure.
Your fuckn high man! I drive gmc in the bush for my work truck everyday in BC , 270k kms and riding like a champ with IFS, packing tidy tank, towing if need
Man those new Fords just are goofy looking setting beside a Chevy or GMC. They look ok beside a non LED Ford but wow they are hideous beside a Chevy. Also I’m glad you called out the rear floor of the Fords. They have been that way since 2009 model year (F150s) and it never gets talked about. But there is a clear difference setting in the back of the GM.
Don't know what you're smoking, backseat on the GMs is enormous not to mention I want my beer cans made out of aluminum...not my body panels, that when you get into a minor fender bender fold up just like a beer can.
Previous super duty was definitely better looking and I’d prefer that over any of these. The GMC’s grill belongs on a 77’ Cadillac Couoe Deville with a chrome lady with wings. The interior, tech, power train and overall functionality is better on the Ford. By the way no one is seriously going to off-road these things like you would with Raptor. To me these factory “off-road” version of these HD trucks is dumb. All you really need is a Z71 or FX4 at most. Oh and the fail for GM to me is the god awful mirrors next to the Tacoma wheel arches.
love the GMC aside from those hideous mirrors with those god awful swing arms.. just ruins the whole truck for me.. cant get past it.. and those side markers over the wheel wells.. who on the design team think in anyway that looks good.. just makes it looks so tacky
GMC looks way better on the exterior but it has very unresponsive brakes which makes it unbuyable. The ford drives so much better. The ford grill is ugly. I want the gmc looks with ford drive.
7:53 "You can *clearly* see the GMC is a (whole) half inch taller" 😂😂🤔🤷🏻♂️📏 Ps:: No, no you can not clearly see a (whole) 1/2" difference. You may be able to see & tell the slight difference if the trucks were closer together and you actually busted out a tape measure and measured the differences from flat, level ground up to the wheel wells, bedsides, or the hood\mirrors. But being different manufacturers, the numbers & their differences wouldn't mean too much either. I think ground clearance is more important anyways. 🤷🏻♂️🤔🤦🏻♂️📏👍🏻🛠️🔧🔩⛓️⚙️🛢️🚦⛽⚠️🚧⛔🦺🚜⚡💥💨
10:18 I knew GM has the multifunction tailgate but didn't know there was a speaker system setup inside of it too! Pretty cool I guess if you play music from your bed while working --or at tailgating would be sweet. That tailgate is gotta be $3 or $4k though. Better be careful with that thing & make sure it doesn't 'walk' away! Don't forget about the Ford's built-in scales in the taillights either. You didn't mention it. Seeing all these fancy electronics built into the tailgates of today's trucks has me worried because I know at least in my *work* truck ('00 f250 7.3) the tailgate and *especially* its top gets extremely beat up with putting all sorts of lumber & materials in my bed, so what's going to happen to all these sensors on a truck that's not exclusively a parking lot princess and gets used daily for serious work hauling materials to job locations. They {sensors\camera} seem to be recessed & protected enough to help keep them safe, but I don't see them lasting a decade on a real, used work'n truck! Guess we shall see, soon enough. 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩⛓️⚙️🛢️⛽🚧⚠️🚦
Ford is a solid option that is completely ruined by its utter and complete exterior ugliness. I’m sorry but absolutely nothing can make that thing look good from the outside. It’s like ford engineers gave up. My only option was a 24’ GMC really which is a shame because that ford interior is pretty damn compelling. I just could never be seen driving that thing though lol
Ford builds a better truck all the way around…. Better engines and definitely better transmissions!! And the only way I’d want a grill as big as the GMC is if I’m cooking for a 100!! Get in the drivers seat and see which one you can see out of better…. That’s definitely the Ford!! And those God awful mirrors on the door instead of the B-pillar on any GM vehicle just ruins them!
@@KompressorV12 no they are not the same transmissions in the super duty and gm hd. the ford and gm share the same transmissions on the half ton not in hd models.

Gmc looks sick
I’m not a fan of the front end on the Ford. The 2020-2022 front ends were the best Ford has ever done. Why did they get rid of them?

How is the headlight performance on the GMC? I drove a new Escalade a few weeks ago and they were terrible! (Assuming similar LED modules)
My only thing I am waiting for with the Ford is whether it will experience the death wobble. I had a 2019 F250 and the death wobble was real😮😮😮
No death wobble on a 24 platinum tremor. You can take your hands off the wheel at 90 if you wanted and it would do dead straight. Most cases it’s due to a bad alignment or level/ lift kit that causes it.

Great information !
That GMC still has the GM slope we all hate. Why, oh why, can GM level their trucks out?
AT4x plus the AEV edition is nice. Appears your GMC sits higher. Ford has solid axles .
Gmc front end looks great, but the sides have no character at all-its like they put all the money into the front end.
I don’t understand why GM hasn’t offered power pedals, power steering adjustments and panoramic roof. One other item that drives me nuts is GM doesn’t offer accent interior lighting.

Gmc just looks more bad ass
GMC for the Win! Ford $105K - no power running boards & no cab lights.
The ford has both of these options on the platinums for free if you spec it that way. Most do not with the tremors.
@@Jordanwork98 the Tremor shocks are laughable in comparison
@@Billybob50119 it’s a easy fit just upgrade to a fox shock when lifting it or leveling it. Bds kit would be far superior to the factory at4x suspension even.
@@Jordanwork98 🤦♂️
@@Jordanwork98there you go. Just drop a few more grand on top of that $105k price tag. Lol!
GMC needs better motor choices
The 6.6 gas is a slug
You are incorrect the Dinali is the same as the platinum and the Denali carries a price tag of $12,000 more than the at4x
You are wrong. The Denali Ultimate is $10k more. The Denali has the same pricing as the AT4. Not the X.
Gmc looks like a beast. The ford looks like a work truck
I like the gmc 2500
Ford does have a bigger cab.
The fact that Ford cannot put color matched small fender flares on the Tremor is a mystery to me….. Oh, yeah. Cost.
The Ford has the ugliest front end on the market in my opinion. I too have a 24 At4X HD in Summit White
The chevy has the ugliest front end
I agree and the new Chevy is definitely better than the ford
