Comparing the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 vs. the 2026 Ford F‑150

Full-size pickup trucks are everywhere you look. With such a huge segment, comparisons like the GMC Sierra vs the Ford F-150 are important. We're sharing all the reasons that the GMC truck is the top contender at Gillman Chevrolet GMC.

Premium Performance

While both trucks are certainly powerful, the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 features more power right out of the gate. It comes equipped with a 2.7-liter TurboMax® four-cylinder engine, which generates up to 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, which is the most standard torque in its class. The 2026 Ford F-150 generates just 400 lb-ft of standard torque. The capable GMC truck is also available with front and rear electronic locking differentials, which aren't offered on any other truck in its class.

Versatile Design

The full-size GMC truck introduced the world's first six-function Multipro™ Tailgate, which offers multiple settings for loading and working. It also offers more cargo bed volume than any competitor in its class. Its largest truck bed length is 98.4 inches, while the largest 2026 Ford F-150 truck bed length is 96 inches.

Intuitive Technology

Innovation and GMC trucks go hand in hand. The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is available with over 40 inches of combined driver-focused digital displays, which is the most in its class. That includes a 13.4-inch premium GMC infotainment system with Google built-in compatibility, an available 12.3-inch digital multicolor driver information center, and more. The touchscreen in the Ford truck is just 12 inches, and it doesn't offer Google built-in capabilities.

Comfortable Cabin

Both trucks feature comfortable cabins, although the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is truly unrivaled. It features best-in-class standard Crew Cab front head and legroom. It's also available with premium features that you won't find in the Ford truck, such as 16-way power heated and ventilated front seats with a massage feature. It's available with sophisticated styling options as well, such as an Alpine Umber interior with full-grain leather seating.
