Performance

Both trucks offer multiple engines, but you'll find that with the F-150's lineup, you're getting a streamlined lineup with more power and capability, including the following choices:

  • A 2.7-liter, 325-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6
  • A 3.5-liter, 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6
  • A 5.0-liter, 400-horsepower V8
  • A 3.5-liter, 430-horsepower twin-turbocharged Hybrid V6
  • A 452-horsepower twin-motor Standard-Range Battery (F-150 Lightning)
  • A 580-horsepower twin-motor Extended-Range Battery (F-150 Lightning)

All options offer standout torque as you'll get around 400 standard torque up to 570 pound-feet of torque on hybrid vehicles.

By comparison, the GMC Sierra 1500 has a TurboMax engine with 310 horsepower, a 5.2-liter option with 355 horsepower, a diesel option with 305 horsepower, and a V8 with 420 horsepower. While having the diesel might present some advantages, your options swing in favor of Ford, especially with hybrid and EV options.

You can also compare maximum towing and payload as the Ford F-150 offers a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, while the GMC Sierra 1500 with a diesel engine comes just short of that. With payload, the F-150 can carry a maximum of 2,455 pounds, depending on the setup.

Onboard Features

With the F-150, you'll find a truck with plenty of choices. It and the GMC Sierra 1500 have multiple cabin and truck bed sizes, but the difference is in the details. With the F-150, there are more standard features across more models including a 12-inch touch display standard with the latest technology for smartphone integration. There's also the ability to expand the center console and make it a workspace, as you can adjust the shifter to create a flat surface. While the GMC Sierra 1500 has an available larger display, drivers will find that the use of the touchscreen, particularly its camera, has more use with the F-150 as it offers Pro Trailer Backup Assist and a rear camera that can monitor a trailed load as you drive to ensure it's properly centered and stable as you drive. Additionally, there's a technology like Ford Blue Cruise, which is a hands-free driving feature. Though the GMC Sierra 1500 might have some of these, the comprehensive package of features on the F-150 helps it earn the advantage over its rival pickup truck.
