Ford vs. Chevy
I’ve been kicking around getting rid of my Avalanche, and I’m actually looking at some Fords. I’ve never personally owned anything but GM. And, I have to be honest. That weighs on my mind, when looking at making the change. Around here, it’s like sacrilege going from one to the other. But damn, do I like the way the Fords drive, and how quiet they are!

New or used?
If it has tits or a steering wheel, it's gonna give you problems. Just stay away from the 5.4 engine or those stupid EcoBoost grenade engines. Find a 5.0 and you'll be ok.

Overall, I think Ford has been doing better work in the last 10ish years.cmd24 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:11 pm I’ve been kicking around getting rid of my Avalanche, and I’m actually looking at some Fords.

There are certain cars from GM that I can hear an argument for over their Ford competitors; namely, the Camero, Silverado, their EVs and the Corvette (although Ford doesn't really have a direct competitor for it).
The cars from GM that I have personally driven have been pretty bad to drive though, I thought.

Re: Ford vs. Chevy
I stumbled across a GMC that might be in the running now, as well as an F-150 I'm looking at. The aluminum body on the Ford is really intriguing because of the rust factor. I do like the room in the F-150's, but I've only ever had GM vehicles, so there's that whole thing going on. I know that shouldn't be a deciding factor, but you know how it goes with vehicles.Cobey wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 7:47 amOverall, I think Ford has been doing better work in the last 10ish years.cmd24 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:11 pm I’ve been kicking around getting rid of my Avalanche, and I’m actually looking at some Fords.

Re: Ford vs. Chevy
As far as trucks go, it's kind of a "dealers choice" type situation. Each brand will have things it does well and things it does not so well, at least to my understanding.cmd24 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 9:41 amI stumbled across a GMC that might be in the running now, as well as an F-150 I'm looking at.

If it floats, flies, or fucks just rent the damn thing for a weekend.
After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

Re: Ford vs. Chevy
I settled in a GMC Sierra SLT, with the AFM in it. Mixed reviews, from other people, it appears, on the AFM. Some people hate how it switches back and forth from a V8 to a V4, others say they don’t even notice. I have no real opinion as of yet, since I’ve only had it since Thursday.

Re: Ford vs. Chevy
How are you liking it so far?? When I got my 2018 F-150 I had issues with it shifting from 2-4 (10 speed), almost kinda clunky. It took me a few months to figure out it had the adaptive shifting where it learns how to drive according to the driver's habits I asked the dealer to disable it and it drives so much better. I'm guessing the AFM could also be disabled if you're not happy with it.cmd24 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:12 pm I settled in a GMC Sierra SLT, with the AFM in it.

Re: Ford vs. Chevy
Mostly unnoticeable, to be honest. But, keep in mind I work one mile from my house, so my highway miles aren’t consistent enough to get a great opinion.ForCaleb wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 7:59 amHow are you liking it so far??
