The GMC Sierra 1500 is one of the handful of new full-size trucks in North Bergen that remain iconic today. With great power comes great responsibility, and the GMC handles that responsibility with a suaveness that may surprise many truck lovers. But how does it compare to another big name, the Ford F-150? See our comparisons here at North Bergen Buick GMC.
GMC Sierra 1500: Shoppers can find four different engines, rear- or four-wheel drive, and two transmission options. While the base engine offers up to 310 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, a torque-rich light-duty diesel provides 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. You can also expect two V8s: a 355-horsepower V8 and a 420-horsepower V8.
Ford F-150: The Ford F-150 also offers four engine configurations, including a 430-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 hybrid option. The base engine provides 325 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged V6, another twin-turbocharged V6 makes 400 horsepower, and the sole V8 makes 400 horsepower. When comparing gas engines only, the GMC has more natural horsepower available.
GMC Sierra 1500: The GMC Sierra 1500 offers up to 13,300 pounds of towing capacity and a payload rating of 2,200 pounds for Englewood, NJ, jobs. Those numbers are very close to what the F-150 offers.
Ford F-150: For towing capacity, expect 13,500 pounds for the Ford F-150, just 200 pounds more than what the GMC provides. Similarly, expect a payload rating of 2,455 pounds, just 255 pounds more than the GMC. Regardless of which truck you choose, you can count on high capacities.
GMC Sierra 1500: The GMC Sierra 1500 impresses with its premium interior offerings like full-grain leather seats and real wood trim on the Denali trim. Expect niceties like available 10-way power-adjustable front bucket seats and smart storage options like the available rear under-seat storage, large lower lockable glove box, and upper glove box.
Ford F-150: The Ford F-150 can offer some premium features like the GMC Sierra. Find an available Interior Work Surface that folds out from the center console, has lockable storage, and has under-seat storage. However, expect more options and more well-rounded interior features in the GMC.
GMC Sierra 1500: The GMC Sierra pampers its drivers with an available 13.4-inch touch screen, which includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and built-in Google software. Also expect an available 12-speaker Bose stereo system for your regular rides around East Rutherford, NJ.
Ford F-150: The Ford F-150 falls short of the GMC's larger infotainment system, only offering a 12-inch screen. The Ford also offers an available Bang & Olufsen system, but it only features up to eight speakers.
GMC Sierra 1500: The GMC Sierra offers some seriously capable off-roading with the AT4 and AT4X trims. Expect a two-inch factory lift, Rancho monotube shocks, a two-speed Autotrac transfer case, and underbody skid plates, among many other items.
Ford F-150: The Ford F-150 offers solid off-roading through the Ford F-150, but it offers that capability across three different trims: the Raptor, Raptor R, and Tremor. If you do not want to fuss over features you may or may not need, the GMC is the better pick.
