The 2024 Ford F-150 is a Built Ford Tough truck engineered to handle almost any task with ease. It offers a variety of engine choices, including a newly standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine with increased horsepower and torque on the base trim. Other available engines include the 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.5L PowerBoost, 3.5L High Output for the Raptor, 5.0L V8, and the 5.2L Supercharged V8 exclusive to the Raptor R.

Meanwhile, the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 starts with a base turbo four-cylinder engine delivering 310 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, and includes options like a Duramax diesel, 5.3L V8, and 6.2L V8. It offers a maximum conventional towing capacity of 13,200 lbs and an available payload of 2,240 lbs. However, the Sierra 1500 falls short in off-road capability compared to the F-150 Raptor. Built on a fully boxed high-strength steel frame with a high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body, the Ford F-150 boasts a best-in-class available payload of 2,455 lbs and maximum towing of 13,500 lbs, making it more powerful and capable than the GMC Sierra.

The 2024 Ford F-150 is packed with smart technology and features designed to boost productivity, including a class-exclusive 5G LTE modem for faster mapping, Wi-Fi connectivity, and seamless Ford Power-Up software updates. Inside, it offers the latest SYNC 4 system with Enhanced Voice Recognition, a striking 12-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen, and a 12-inch digital cluster display for an advanced driving experience.

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, on the other hand, comes with a slightly larger 13.4-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and integrated Google software. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is standard on SLE trims and above. However, the Ford F-150 stands out with its immersive B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen and the innovative, class-exclusive Pro Power Onboard feature. PowerBoost models can elevate the standard 2.4kW output to an available 7.2kW—the highest exportable power available in any gas-powered pickup in its class, outshining the GMC Sierra.

The 2024 Ford F-150 comes standard with 10 driver-assist features, including updated versions of Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a Lane-Keeping System, and Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert. Additional safety systems include Exit Warning, a 360-degree camera, rear-facing camera, and Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving technology for enhanced confidence on the road.

Meanwhile, the GMC Sierra 1500 includes features like Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind-Spot Monitoring with Cross-Traffic Alert, with Super Cruise hands-free driving available on Denali trims. The Ford F-150, however, takes productivity further with advanced trailering technologies such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™, which are not offered on the Sierra 1500. Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ uses the camera to monitor trailer position during backing maneuvers, while the class-exclusive Smart Hitch measures tongue weight, ensuring a safer hitch connection and minimizing the risk of trailer sway.

The 2024 Ford F-150 offers a spacious 6-seat cabin designed for both comfort and practicality, featuring luxurious touches and numerous storage cubbies. It boasts premium amenities, such as class-exclusive center console Interior Work Surface, generous passenger space, heated and ventilated leather front bucket seats with Active Motion, and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, ensuring a comfortable and supportive ride every time.

While the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 has a driver-focused cabin with accessible controls, ample storage, and quality materials like available leather surfaces and open-pore wood trim on higher trims, it doesn’t quite match the 2024 Ford F-150’s blend of uncompromising comfort, interior refinement, and convenience features.
