What creature comforts etc does the ford have that the GMC was lacking?

 

[HiHoeSilver]

Oh, jeez.... Here we go....

 

[THE YETI]

What creature comforts etc does the ford have that the GMC was lacking?

Not in any specific order..

Rear AC
Rear heated seats
Push button ignition
Power steps
All LED lighting
Full panel moonroof
360-degree cameras
Massaging seats
Larger interior cabin space
Solid axle front suspension
Power extending tow mirrors
Homelink
Automatic wipers
Adaptive cruise control
Automatic high beams
Leather is MUCH softer

...I’ll update more as it comes up.

New wheels are back from ceramic coating. Lift will be here Thursday. So the week of Halloween she should be all done.

 

[Bruizza]

Definitely some options you listed there I would love to have in my truck. I guess I can also see where that 10 grand difference comes into play. Still i would pay the extra for a lot of those features.

 

[THE YETI]

Lift is on the way. She’s going in Thursday for her PPEI EZLYNK tune and to get the lift installed.

Will Be phase 1.

Phase 2 will include rock lighting and color matching.

Many of those options can be had with GMCs. Mine own has a few of those options.

Hmm.. when did GMC start putting all that into the DenaliHD? We’ve owned a 2015, 2015.5, and 2016 and none of them had these options. And the current 2017 model (and into 2018) only got a new hood and L5P Duramax engine.

I cannot speak of the K2XXs but the GMT900s had many of those options. My SLT has the rear heated seats, rear AC, Homelink, not sure what a full panel moonroof is but mine has a moonroof. SLTs and Denalis could have Rainsense wipers, Denalis retractable running boards and the cruise control was made essentially adaptive in 2013 outside of Tow/Haul mode. GM doesn't want a solid front axle on these small trucks, the ride is harsh. My '88 F-Super Duty had an I-Beam front axle. That's what Topkicks and Kodiaks were for.

Yah, I’m comparing the DenaliHD to the F250. See the first post.

Those will look so good pounding all that pavement.

 

[THE YETI]

Those will look so good crawling around the mall.

Fixed.

Another confusing post.

Might have to change the JCC translator thread to the Galante Translator thread.

Recall of 2015-17 ford pickups, f150-350 i think, the doors swing open while in motion. Saw it on the news the other day so it must be true. Just lookin out for you and the wife. Seriously, I really did see a clip on the news so be careful and make sure your seatbelt is on.

No recall like that on our 17’. My only recall was on a replacement bolt for the rear left side seatbelt. Only the seatbelts that have the built in airbags in them (which ours does).
