    People hate on the GM pickup truck interiors like its their job. Sure some things might not be the most well laid out, but its still highly functional. Also its still a truck, lets not forget. My buddy is a contractor, he drives a 15 or 16 denali hd. He uses it for work every day, beats the shit out of it. Every sunday he cleans out the interior. The plastics on the buttons and the dash and all the spots people cry about, make cleaning it and working in it that much easier. Now I get most denali buyers are either hauling horse trailers or putting these trucks on 8 inch lifts, but for the working man who works hard and rewards himself with a nice office on wheels, not having leather everywhere is a plus.
    GM is just outright winning the tech war. Ram has the impressive 12 inch screen, but doesn't actually add any function, just replaces physical buttons with screen, and ford has the weird trailer reverse knob, GM is actually bringing useful towing tech to the table. Tire pressure sensors that hook up to the trucks infotainment, see through trailer and sideview cameras to see cars you otherwise couldnt see, the internal trailer camera so you can make sure your cargo is good. The trailering app so you can check your taillights and directional on your trailer with your phone, and the camera mirror so you can see over your bed if you have cargo in it blocking your normal mirror. RAM may take the cake in the half ton segment, where guys will buy trucks for once a year home depot runs and towing boats, and otherwise want a luxurious daily driver, but for working class people, its a battle between ford and GM.

      Honestly, I actually think GM's interior is best if we're just looking at lower-end trim levels. They're more function and they're better built. It's when you get to the higher trim levels like the High Country and Denali where you begin feel GM is falling behind. At $80,000, you're basically talking about luxury vehicles. When you take a look at the new Ram Limited how premium the materials and how nice the design is with all its little details, you begin to feel GM's interior just aren't cutting it with their blocky, bulky and boring design.

      GM hasn’t been “winning” the tech game for the past decade. The *NEW* camera modes and HUD are awesome, but GMC and Chevy didn’t have basic features that Ford and Ram had all the way back in 2010. I’m talking about things GMC finally just added for the 2020 models like intelligent access, push button start, emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. When towing long distances a cool camera angle isn’t as useful as a truck that has adaptive cruise with STOP AND GO. Drive cross country with a trailer, when you inevitably hit heavy traffic multiple times you will love the fact that you don’t have to go from gas to brake to gas to brake. While GM is finally adding adaptive cruise. I didn’t hear anything about it having “stop and go” capabilities.

    GMC made some great improvements, most certainly. And the trick camera systems add a great layer of security for any driver.
    That said, Alex, what do you think of the driving experience when under towing? 10 speed transmissions and 440hp are all well and good, but confidence while towing heavy loads really is what matters most. Stability, tracking, etc are indeed imperative. I think that is why Ram and Ford do so well with HD shoppers. Also for $80k+, that interior is simply not gonna cut it.

    GM really needs to commit to the 10 speed. Ford is putting it in everything as they should be.

      It's a reliability issues and they can't just automatically switch everything over instantly, things have to be changed over a couple years to make sure they all work well together. I watched TFL, and they said that GM told them the 6 speed in the HD gas trucks has had the least amount of problems out of any of their transmissions. So when they made the new gas 6.6L engine, it was smart for them to put a reliable transmission behind it, and when all the engine kinks get worked out, they can upgrade the transmission later and know what's going to work with it and what's not, and if there's any changes they might need to make.

    The 35k configuration is a miserable b*tch when loaded to that weight because of the extremely short wheelbase. It's like a day cab tractor vs a long sleeper (crew cab 8' bed). The longer the wheelbase, the smoother the ride, especially with a trailer hammering down on the rear suspension at every bump.

      GMC this year finally added keyless entry and push button start. You couldn’t get it even if you wanted it before. Ford and Dodge had intelligent access and push button start since 2010. Also, GMC STILL doesn’t have adaptive cruise control, let alone the stop and go adaptive cruise that Ford and RAM have. GMC is far behind in the vehicle tech game, but they somehow spent money on a pretty awesome camera system. However, even though the Ford cameras suck in comparison I still cant go for the GMC when they still don’t have adaptive cruise with stop and go or emergency braking.

    Forget the gas version!, they dropped 4.10 gear option
    which has been around since the beginning of time.
    2019 and earlier versions offered 4.10 rear gear
    ratios. Here is the difference in performance in max
    trailer weights for 2019 and older crew cab short bed
    models with 4.10 was 14200#, and 3.73 were 9700#.
    It would have been ok if they changed the transmission
    ratios but they didnt on the gas version!
    From 14200# to 9700# is a huge difference, saying you
    make up for it by increasing the engine torque wont
    make up for it on the hills. You need the extra gear
    ratio on the hills because the RPMs will drop too much
    when it shifts. Also the 3.73 will put more stress on
    the clutches that engage when the transmission shifts.
    I love my 2012 2500HD with gas, but the gears on the
    hills are barely acceptable and I cant afford to make
    them worse. Time to go to Ford that offers 4.30 gear
    ratios!

      "While Americans can’t seem to get enough of the mid-size pickups from Japanese automakers, they absolutely shun their full-size trucks. According to data from WardsIntelligence, the highest market share Toyota has seen with Tundra was 9.1% and that was in 2007. It currently hovers in the 5% range. It’s even worse for Nissan. The best the Titan was able to muster was 3.5% of the market in 2005. Today it’s at 1.5%. With the Detroit Three commanding 94% of full-size pickup sales this year, it might almost make more sense for Toyota and Nissan to share a large truck platform." Autoline

      Should You Buy a 2015 Toyota Tundra? Here Are Some Reasons For and Against
      “I feel the new Tundra reflects the future of where trucks are going,” said Mike Sweers. A good ole boy from Northern Michigan, Sweers uses a Tundra Double Cab when harvesting hay, tapping maple trees and raising dairy cattle on his farm. As a Toyota chief engineer, he also spearheaded the redesign of the 2014 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. “Our goal is to make the best truck in the industry,” said Sweers. “It delivers the message … we are a truck to be reckoned with in the industry.”
      So is Mike Sweers right or wrong?
      Top 10 Reasons to Buy a 2015 Toyota Tundra
      Made in America
      By law of the American Automobile Labeling Act, every new automobile must display the percentage, by cost, of its components that came from the United States and Canada. The 2012 Toyota Tundra came in second place, bested only by the Ford F-150. According to the Kogood Made in America Index, which accounts for labor, parts, and other variables, the Toyota Tundra also wins the red ribbon, beaten by the Ford F-150 but besting all pickups from Ram, GMC and Chevrolet.
      Affordable Safety
      All Tundras come with an integrated rearview camera and bumper surrounds. Available safety features include a glass-breakage sensor and a blind-spot monitor with cross-traffic alerts.
      All V8
      Since less than five percent of Tundra buyers chose the 4.0-liter V6, Toyota axed the six-cylinder and replaced it with the 4.6-liter V8. Now, every Tundra pickup comes with a workhorse V8 engine, the smallest of which still produces 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
      Touches of Luxury
      Who says business can’t come with pleasure? Welcome the Tundra Limited, available in all body styles. It is equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, power bucket seats and a silver billet grille to show off to the world.
      On-the-Job Ergonomics
      Controls - knobs, buttons, levers, etc. - are shaped and configured to be operated by drivers wearing gloves.
      Homage to the Old West
      Where the Tundra is now assembled in San Antonia, Texas was once the oldest working ranch in Texas, the El Rancho de la Purisima Concepcion, established in 1794. Commemorating that heritage is the exclusive 1794 Edition. Saddle brown leather and suede line the seats, the steering wheel, the doors and the instrument panel. Topnotch technology includes a JBL audio system, blind-spot monitor, and heated/ventilated seats.
      Lots of Legroom
      The four-door CrewMax has a cabin fit for Paul Bunyan, with well over 40 inches of legroom, and can accommodate up to six passengers.
      Off-Roading Prowess
      Meet the Tundra TRD Pro: 32-inch Michelin knobby tires, custom Bilstein shocks, underbody skid plates, and a sick attitude. A formidable desert racer, the Tundra TRD Pro competes with the Ford SVT Raptor for high-speed off-road thrills.
      Technophilia
      Draft horse it may be, but the Tundra does not skimp on technology. Every model comes with a touchscreen interface and Bluetooth connectivity. Upscale models offer inboard navigation system, Entune smartphone app integration, surround-sound audio systems and satellite radio capability.
      Trusted Towing Capacity
      In ye olden times, auto manufacturers conducted towing tests in-house and released the results without any objective eye to “grade” their performance. In 2008, the SAE developed the reliable, hard-hitting J2807 standard for tow ratings. It was adopted by Toyota in 2013. So when the Toyota Tundra with the iForce 381-horsepower V8 promises a whopping 10,400 pounds of towing capacity, it can be trusted.
      Buying Tip:
      To avoid overpaying on a new car, shop prices online first. Get up front pricing before you walk into a dealership. We recommend the following free services;Car Clearance Deals,Edmunds,CarsDirect &MotorTrend.
      These free services will offer you the lowest prices and supply you with multiple competing price quotes. You will know the best price before you visit the dealer.
      Reasons Not to Buy a 2015 Toyota Tundra - The Cons
      • Horsepower may be more glamorous, but fuel efficiency saves money to pay the bills. With one V8 rated at 15/19 mpg and the other at 13/18, neither engine promises much in the way of fuel economy.
      • Driving a Tundra truck is like riding one of Hannibal’s elephants. Its large turning circle and stiff ride make it unsuitable for urban motoring.
      • There is no diesel offering.
      • To be honest, is a full-size truck necessary? Might an AWD crossover work just as well? Many can tow 3,000-5,000 pounds.
      • Since it is a foreign brand, Toyota replacement parts tend to be more expensive than General Motors (Chevy, GMC) components. Digging under the hood takes more than a thick wrench; it takes a thick wallet.
      The American pickup market is dominated by four major players: Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500 (twin brother to the GMC Sierra 1500), Ram 1500, and far out on the periphery, the Nissan Titan.
      • Where the F-150 trumps the Tundra is fuel economy. Based on a featherweight aluminum body and sporting a 325-horsepower 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the F-150 achieves an astonishing 22 mpg. Whether the aluminum body will resist the rigors of outdoor work remain to be seen.
      • No other truck offers as nice, comfortable, luxurious a ride and interior as the Ram 1500. Its coil spring suspension smothers bump and ruts in a way that the Tundra simply cannot. It also offers a class-exclusive turbocharged diesel V6 engine that can tow up to 9,200 pounds.
      • Unlike the Tundra’s other competitors, the old-as-dirt Nissan Titan poses no formidable danger to the Toyota pickup truck. Not much has changed since the Titan’s introduction in 2004, and its most impressive numbers are its rebate discounts.

    This is so bias 'd so quick to tell where to ram is slightly more deficient vice where the GMC deficient to the RAM . Such to the interior features, the actual tow capability based on the cab/bed configuraturation where the RAM hss more tow capability as was explained in one of the TFL videos. So I think your not telling the whole story and I find your reporting biased here.

    • @james2042
      @james2042 5 років тому +1

      GM has confirmed all duallys can tow 30,000lbs, even the denali/high country crew cab. The GM trucks have like 400lbs more towing in the max tow and trade blows all the way through the trim levels. Also if he was going to be bias toward anyone it would be ram, considering his tow vehicle (which he bought) is a durango and he without hesitation calls the ram 1500 the best half ton atm. He was also pretty quick to say how the HD rams have a better unloaded ride quality and drive feel. He is just reporting based on his experience and the spec sheets.

    • @lancehartman9905
      @lancehartman9905 5 років тому +2

      @guy proulx semis tow 80k. The trucks themselves weigh in between 17k and 22k, with no trailer. So basically semi trucks haul about 4 times there own weight, whenever there fully loaded. Do you think that's unsafe too?

    • @lancehartman9905
      @lancehartman9905 5 років тому

      @guy proulx did you watch the ike gauntlet test with the 1 ton trucks. It doesn't sound like it. On the downhill part of the test, they had to keep their speed under 60 mph. That's going down a 7% grade. If you think you that's not steep, I beg to differ! None of the trucks had to have more than 3 brake applications, to stay under 60mph. In fact they all did so well on the downhill test, they all scored 25 points. The highest score you could get on that part. It's not just the truck brakes, it's also engine brakes, and trailer brakes. More brakes than you've ever heard of, that's for sure!😂 so please, explain how it's not safe? Anyone can buy a 1 ton truck and tow 30k-35k pounds. Why? Because that's what these trucks are made for, and that's exactly what they do all the time. But if you feel unsafe doing that, you must be a terrible driver, that knows nothing about brakes, or you have no balls to do what us real men do.

Even less cool when the trans needs work too. And a topping for that shit cake, dodge and cummins said same thing. We dont know what you put your truck thru. 3,000 pound trailer 8,000 pounds loaded. To much for the 3500 to do 4 times a month huh.
