2023 F-150 vs. 2023 Sierra 1500 in Ayden, NC
When you're looking for a new light-duty truck, a couple of great options will rise to the top of your list pretty quickly. The 2023 Ford F-150 and the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 are both great picks, but the F-150 comes out ahead in several key aspects. Let's take a look at how these two trucks stand up to one another.
Power
The Ford F-150 is a light-duty truck that is anything but. When properly equipped, the F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds, which puts it at the top of the segment. The F-150 comes with six different engine options. The 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 leads the pack, with the 400-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 able to tow 13,000 pounds. If you're looking for payload, the V8 is the way to go, as the TI-VCT V-8 engine produces 410 lb.-ft. of torque and can handle a max of 3,325 pounds. Again, that number leads the pack when it comes to full-size, light duty trucks.
At its best, the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 can tow 13,200 pounds when properly equipped, which puts it at a respectable No. 3 in the market segment. When it comes to payload, the Sierra 1500 is again middle of the pack, as it can handle 2,240 pounds maximum.
When it comes to pulling its share of the workload, the Ford F-150 stands in a class by itself.
Advantage: The Ford F-150
Interior Space
The Ford F-150 is roomy. In the Crew Cab configuration, six adults can ride without ever feeling cramped. There's more than 40 inches of headroom in the front, and nearly 44 inches of front legroom. In the rear of the cabin, there's again more than 40 inches of headroom and 43.6 inches of legroom. Those measurements are competitive with the Sierra, but the real space is in the shoulder- and hip-room of the seating configuration, where there's more than an inch of extra space in the front and rear than the GMC Sierra for each seat. Those inches add up to give the Ford F-150 the roomiest interior in the light-duty truck segment.

The F-150 is highly capable, with a multitude of configurable options when it comes to the engine, cabin, and bed. Because of this, the Ford F-150 has engendered a loyal following. When it comes right down to it, people love their Ford F-150.
