Was always a Ford guy until we bought our Dodge 1500 in 2011. Now have 75,000 miles of pulling the boats around every weekend and never have had any trouble. Love the power you get with the Hemi motor because there is always more when you need it, especially when pulling the boat. On the other side, the Ford ecoboost motors are supposed to be good on gas, but there is something about a V6 in a pick up truck. Isn't that why they invented V8's?
Congratulations on the new truck @Raphael! I feel like a trader say this , but the new GMC's are killer looking. Would love to know how it performs for you. It would look even better with a new 2015 242 limited behind it!

I LOVE IT! I haven't towed anything yet but the luxury in this truck is off the charts and I'm getting 19 MPG in the city with a 5.3liter V8

A buddy of mine bought the Ford 3.5 V6 ecoboost and he said he pulled his Cigarette Racing 42' boat with it no problems. I couldn't get past the features in the GMC and the ride is like a caddie plus 18/24 is pretty damn nice.

Yes........another new truck!

This beautiful little lady forced me to buy our 2015 242 LS and now forced me into getting rid of my 2007 Commander and into this 2015 Silverado LT Z71. The Commander was always in need of repair and currently the list has built up to $3200 of needed repairs. After seeing a pool of ??oil/trans fluid?? in the garage on Friday, I got fed up and finally caved. We went right to the dealer and made the deal!!! We love it! If it performs half as well as her Suburban, we are set!

My wife pushed me to upgrade my 2006 Jeep Commander and when I told her I was leaning towards a Sierra she said "Who drives a Sierra?" but once she sat in it she was sold. Congrats man that's a nice looking rig.
