    2021 Ford F350 vs 2021 GMC 3500HD

    I currently have a 2016 2500HD pretty much problem free 151000 miles. Only issue I have had was DEF so I deleted it. I am digging the body style and paint option of the F350 more than the Denali line. Im not looking to bash either and I know most ppl are brand loyal but why would you pick one of the other good or bad.

    Many Thanks!!!!

    I've been doing some cursory research toying with idea of moving to a dually. Typically gmc wouldn't be in the running but the new design and 10spd transmission have me interested. With that being said they do still lack one feature I'd like and that's adaptive cruise. Purely personal desire likely, and they do have some other options I'd like, but it's interesting they left that off redesign. Ford and ram keep flip flopping 1 and 2 with me thus far. I've had Rams for numerous years, but do hear grumblings about the cp4.2 and tranny issues

    I thought I had read that GM plans to add it in a later year to this generation. No clue if it will be back-ported via software or if new hardware is required though. Believe they are bringing it out on the 1500s first. I agree, it is a glaring omission when they brought so much other modern tech to the platform with the new gen.

    I am definitely biased to GMC (grew up in a Chevy family) but do think they could fix the above as well as make the interior a little more interesting (although it is very functional).

    The 10 speed trans in both are basically the same as it was a joint venture to develop it. Currently the Ford 6.7 has the power edge and I believe they got the dependability up. I like the Ford seats better, but I am a bit biased. The deluxe ones have more adjustment in the ford.

    Are you sure about that? The DM did use a CP4. When did it change if so?
