1. GMC SIERRA VS FORD F-150
VS
The Ford F-150 remains largely unchanged for the 2012 model year, having gone through a major
upgrade in its powertrains in 2011. F-150 appears in the following trim designations: XL, STX, XLT,
FX2, FX4, Lariat and King Ranch. With GMC’s full lineup of light trucks, including the Denali models,
no other manufacturer matches up against Ford better than GMC.
With all new powertrains, it is important to focus on the unproven nature of the F-150’s engine
lineup. The dependable nature and high level of capability provided by GMC’s lineup of Vortec
engines has been proven over billions of miles driven. Ford is bringing in engines from their car
lineup. The 3.7L V6 and 5.0L V8 both come from the Mustang. The 3.5L EcoBoost comes from the
Taurus SHO and Flex. The only “true” truck engine is the 6.2L V8
which actually makes up less than 10% of F-150 sales. Another
key point of the EcoBoost V6 is its fuel economy, but it does not
surpass the Sierra XFE which has the best V8 fuel economy in the
segment at 22 MPG on the highway.

Sierra 1500 SLE Crew Cab vs. Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew
POINT COUNTERPOINT
The EcoBoost engine that’s available in the F-150 XLT, as The EcoBoost engine is still unproven and is surrounded by
well as in most F-150 trim levels, is the premier engine marketing hype touting its capabilities for towing, fuel
in the full size pickup segment and is more evidence economy and performance. When it is compared to the
that Ford is the leader in trucks. highly dependable and proven 5.3L Vortec engine-the
primary competitor for EcoBoost in the Sierra 1500 models,
there are a few points to keep in mind when discussing the
EcoBoost engine and the Ford F-150.
Premier GMC Receives The Prestigious • Ford touts the excellence of the EcoBoost engine’s fuel
Mark of Excellence Award for 2011 economy. However, according to the EPA, in the popular
“We are your PROVEN truck dealer” 4WD trucks that dominate this segment, EcoBoost has
no advantage over Sierra with the 5.3L V8.
• Ford claims leadership in towing for the segment. While
it is possible to configure an EcoBoost V6 to achieve a
maximum towing rating of 11,300 lbs., it requires a 3.73
or 4.10 axle ratio, neither of which is MPG friendly.
When comparing popular equipped 4WD pickups, the
Sierra’s 5.3L V8 with the Z82 HD trailering package has a
maximum towing rating of 9,600 lbs, which is 100 lbs.
less than the 9,700 lbs. for the EcoBoost V6 with a 3.55
axle and trailer package. Hardly a convincing margin of
victory.
• Ford claims that they have proven the durability of the
EcoBoost engine in the F-150 with their “Torture Test”.
The fact remains, that a test on a single engine does not
equal the BILLIONS OF REAL-WORLD MILES compiled by
the 5.3l Vortec V8.
