The 2015 model received a complete design upgrade with the following models receiving upgrades in technology.
GMC SIERRA 1500 & 2500
The GMC Sierra 1500 is closely related to the Silverado but is considered one of the fastest trucks available when equipped with the 420 horsepower 6.2-liter V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission. When it comes to maximum towing and payload capacities, the GMC Sierra 1500 features the same capabilities as the Silverado. Available on the 2017 model is the All Terrain X off-road edition which comes equipped with 4WD, and Autotrac transfer case, underbody skid plates, Hill Descent Control, a performance exhaust system, a black in-bed sport bar, the Z71 Off-Road package, LED lighting, and unique design features. The heavy-duty version, the GMC Sierra 2500HD is again similar to the heavy-duty Silverado but offers more luxurious interior options.
RAM 1500
The Ram 1500 has been a great option for anyone looking for a work truck that offers a smoother ride. The available 3.0-liter EcoDiesel turbo diesel V6 that was made available in 2014 puts out 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque while remaining fuel efficient at 29 mpg on the highway. The Rebel trim that was added to the 2016 Ram 1500 lineup was made for rough terrains and includes a unique grille, a black off-road bumper, air suspension, skid plates, two tow hooks, and 33-inch tires. It offers a slightly lower towing capacity than other work trucks with a maximum towing capability of 10,260 lbs. when properly equipped, but makes up for it with a smoother ride. The heavier duty Ram 2500 has a more comparable towing capacity to the Silverado and Sierra of nearly 18,000 lbs. when equipped with the diesel engine.
THE FORD F-SERIES
The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in America for more than 40 years and has a history of being durable and reliable. The introduction of the revolutionary aluminum body in 2015 made the F-150 lighter, increasing fuel economy while still remaining durable. The 2015 model also features new safety features, a multi-camera parking aid, integrated loading ramps, a rearview camera with trailer hitch assist, and new available engine options. For added convenience when towing bigger loads, the 2016 F-150 added the Pro Trailer Backup Assist feature. The 2017 model featured the re-addition of the F-150 Raptor that answered every adventurist’s dreams. Featuring front and rear Fox internal-bypass shocks, two additional inches of suspension, and a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, the 2017 F-150 Raptor was designed to handle the roughest of terrains. For 2018, the F-150 featured a new 3.0-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V6. If you need a heavy-duty truck for towing, or you just want to brag that your truck can tow it all, the F-250 features an impressive 24,400-pound maximum towing capacity while the F-350 can pull up to 32,000 pounds.
