    I test drove all these trucks except the Chevy prior to purchase. My ‘19 Laramie Longhorn is just gorgeous!Inside and out I just can’t stop looking at the details they put into it. The highway ride is second to none and that air suspension is so handy for loading stuff. I didn’t buy my truck to drag race, that I do in my Mustang. So I f it takes me an extra 1/2 second to get to 60 I don’t GAF. I’m doing it in luxury.

    JMO , Been a long time GM owner , my 2004 Z71 LT was a good truck dependable , pulled my camper no problem even when it had over 100,000 on it . Then I purchased the GMC industrial grade 1500 DENALI with the 6.2 which I plan on using to occasionally pull my camper to the beach , not such a great truck . Due to a event that nearly cost me my life , wasn't able to go thru all the camper hookups and setups , so I never got to pull anything with it . At around 32 / 33 thousand miles front Trans Axle blew out , after repair had to return it another 3 times to get the Trans Fluid to stop leaking all over my paved Drive way ( they tried to fix it cheaply and finally had to do it right ( GM at their best ) . During this time period the Stability Traction light Alert started coming on then go off . They said it due to the Trans Axle problem and the repair would fix it , it didn't and they wanted another 3 to 4 hundred it replace the faulty senor . I have 36,000 on it now , dash has already cracked , Specialty wheels that came on it are peeling off chrome like paint on a old cheaply painted house . My GMC industrial grade Truck hasn't done a decent days work in its life , less you call work driving to town and Dr appointments work ( my 1999 jeep wrangler can do that with no problem ) . Up to about 30,000 miles or so I enjoyed owning my GMC , but when they start falling apart at that mileage that is pathetic . Its hit or miss now with GM products , I will never buy another . GM lost a loyal customer , not going to continue fight with them about fixing it because warranty is out , but BUYER BE WEAR .

    This was pretty funny actually. Having owned 3 of the trucks myself and driven 4 of them, I couldn’t believe how biased the reviews were. The one guy referred to the ford as a weekend warrior for towing. That truck handles the weight the best out of all of them. The interior hasn’t been changed since 2015 and it still is nicer than the new GM. The GM is the last truck I’d pick of the group. It just feels cheap, not to mention they’ve managed to make the truck even uglier than ever.

I’m not a brand guy by any means had a 13 F150 with a 3.5 eco and now have a 10 Silverado with a 5.3. I was more impressed with the Silverado as a whole package of a “truck”. Yes the 3.5 has more power but have done everything in the Chevy with just as much confidence with much less “power”

    I think this review shows why you can't look at stats. The braking notes were very valuable and good insight showing that confidence and feel in brakes is as important as stopping distance. Most of these will be lifted and slowing down the left lane of the expressway anyways so stats are not everything.

    Short story here is; if you’re not maxing out capabilities, Ram wins. If you’re maxing out capabilities, it’s time to move up to a heavy duty and get a Ram. It’s the drivers choice, end of story. I converted five years ago and from everything I’ve seen I won’t be changing. UConnect functionality, comfort, looks..., just a great package. If you’re worried about acceleration get a corvette, these are pick-ups.

      Jonathan Hatten so not true- not even close. I traded in a 2015 Denali with the 6.2 on the 19 Ram. No comparison. The Ram kills it even with the smaller 5.7 and 87 octane fuel vs the 93 in the Denali. Ram just rows better, more stable and waaaaaaay better brakes. These guys must have had air in the lines from the recent parole who built it (my only issue with Ram). The brakes on my 19 are too powerful. They easily overload the tires if pressed but they are the largest in class. The Ford has the best power train hands down. I had a gen 1 eco boost which is crappy compared to the gen 2 version and they are strong

    I was looking for a pick up truck because I live in Houston and the streets flood here all the time whenever it rains hard. A little background; I am NOT a pick up person at all. I have a sports sedan doing sub 5 seconds to 60 and my previous car was a Corvette C6. Keep this in mind; I do not tow nor care much about payload since I am mainly buying the truck to deal with water. I do care about reliability, comfort and speed. I test drove the Ram Limited, Ram Rebel, GMC Denali, GMC AT4 and the F150 Limited. With this in mind these were my thoughts of the trucks I have test driven.
    2019 both Ram had the best interior. Both had the 5.7 hemi and I found the power to be the weakest, even though it was adequate, but slowest of the 3 brands nonetheless. The ride was very good on the limited and on the rebel it wasn’t bad neither. I did really like how much usable space their interiors had. I did not find the limited to be an attractive truck, but I love how the rebel looks, but to surround view on it was bad.
    2019 GMC both had the 6.2 their interiors after their major redesign on 19 needs to be much better. They need to use better materials in the cabin, especially on the Denali. On local roads the ride was fine, but on the freeway I felt the rear no being too stable and it made my wife carsick. The AT4 ride was a bit better. On the other hand, the 6.2 was just awesome. I know that it wasn’t the fastest compared to the high output ecoboost from ford, but it felt awesome. Instant thrust, no lag and provided acceleration that I can feel. It doesn’t push me back into the seat, but still fast. I also loved how the Denali looked. The deal killer was the freeway ride. My wife couldn’t stand it.
    2019 F150 Limited with the 3.5 high output engine from the raptor was the fastest, but it wasn’t as pleasant as the 6.2. The ford had some minor turbo lag and it didn’t sound as good as the 6.2. The interior was okay, but it was better with the Limited interior. The cameras could be of higher resolution, but this is an older technology unlike the other 2 which were redesigned in 2019, so I didn’t fault it as much. The highway ride was excellent, but on normal city roads it was okay. I like how the truck looked too.
    Now, on the hot topic of reliability. I don’t have any problems with GM or Ford but I was doubtful about Ram, so I did some research and asked around. Ram seemed to have many reliability problems. I was able to get in touch with a friend who is a mechanic for an unnamed state agency and he told me that they use many Rams and they are not reliable at all with lots of problems, while the other 2 brands were okay. So, no Ram, which left me with a single choice, the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited which I now own. I did struggle with the choice because it was about 5-6k more expensive than the Denali.
    Well, that was my choice and thoughts based on a sports sedan owner that doesn’t need to tow. If only Ram had better reliability....

    Great review. The Titan clearly holds its own. It's a good all around ride, comfortable. it just doens't get enough credit where credit is due. The ram interior is gorgeous but because it's dodge fiat I wonder how long the interior will last. Quality has always been rams downfall both interior and longevity. It out of all five manufacturers rates the worst in reliability. I'm not surprised the gm won. Over all it's a great truck but that interior could be better, actually a lot better. The Ford's are decent as well.

    That particular Ram should be called a “pickup car”. The 1100 lb payload is pathetic for a truck. The bed almost looks shorter than the cab. A truck like that is good for a daily driver I guess, but it really frustrates me since trucks should be phenomenal at overall utility, and that truck lacks a lot of utility. To qualify myself, I do like the Ram when it’s configured differently.

    I love the Ram. They should have had a Toyota in the bunch though instead of two GM trucks. The GM truck pulls ahead on the score sheet simply due to the 6.2L engine. It's the biggest and most capable V8 in the class and you will notice it when pushing the limits of these trucks. The extra power will help the 0-60 numbers and the max towing numbers. Lastly the Ford Ecoboost is in a class by itself. No other V6 engine could compete with these V8 trucks. It's a groundbreaking engine for its time.

      The Ram limited does push curb weight very high making it the 2nd heaviest truck. In MT weight was well over 5800lbs. I think that's why some say it's more a suv at this higher trim level. Ford eco can be optioned with various packages. It seems Ford chose to not bring their better packages. If they did payload would be around 3230.

Now if they went with a 6.4 aluminum with an e-tq system I bet that would be a great choice. I'm talking about the engine in the 2500s. The car engine have a different setup. Like the 6.2 in gms cars and trucks. The trucks has to have less power just so it doesn't blow while towing. Its tuned different is what I'm saying tuned to move heavy over tuned to move fast.
