I did not consider a Chevy or a GM truck as the 1500 models do not have an option for a larger gas tank. My Chevy 2500 had a standard 36 gallon fuel tank but their 1500 pickup is limited to a 24-gallon gas tank. In my state the factory gas tank cannot be upgraded legally due to emissions requirements unless it is for a diesel engine.

The Chevy off-road package is $10.000 less than the equivalent from Ford but off-road the fuel capacity is even more critical when many miles from the nearest gas station and fuel economy when crawling along is at its lowest.

…the engine options fell short of Ford in every category. The little turbo engine is too little. The 5.3 is anemic compared to the Ford 5.0 and has valve train issues. No available hybrid, and on paper the diesel just didn’t make sense to me compared to the power boost or even the EB.

The 5.3 is lacking compared to the 5.0. The 17 options for cylinder deactivation is a nightmare. The gearing for towing is subpar compared to the 3.73

'22 F150 Limited in Star White.
First dealer I went to wanted $5k over MSRP to order a truck.

To be fair, I probably wouldn't be in an F150 right now if I didn't find mine on a lot a couple hours away. My original order had a bunch of deletes my salesman never kept me in the loop about. I didn't feel bad when he called to say my truck arrived and I said I didn't want it.

I can't afford a 3500 DRW 4x4 Denali with the Duramax/Allison.

D.O.D. and lifter failure, interior is meh, anemic engine vs my 3.5 Ecoboost for towing. And I used to be a diehard Chevy guy. Until I bought my 2013 3.5 Ecoboost F-150 years ago.
