Great review. Both trucks are ridiculously beautiful and capable. 10 years ago this is everything anyone dreamt of and more, yet here we are. Pick one and you won’t be disappointed.
ridiculously beautiful??? hmm your idea of beautiful is quite different than mine. these things are boxes on wheels that cost WAAAAAYYYYYY too much yet idiots keep gobbling them up with GM and Ford laughing all the way to the bank.
@@iggy-pg6gq i do not but nice try. I don't buy overpriced new vehicles I buy used regardless of import or domestic it doesn't matter to me as long as the vehicle is solid and will get the job done.
I just bought a 23 Black 402A last week. I believe it is an amazing product. The clearance angles (very good all around- not the best), bash plates, Raptor transfer case, Raptor Torsion Diff, new suspension, additional suspension travel..etc provide unique off road offerings. I love the fact it comes straight from the factor w/these options to include prewired auxiliary switches The overall biggest win for me is the monster 3.5! The Tremor is as fast as a Raptor in the 1/4 mile @13.9 sec! Read that again... It is .1 sec slower in 0-60 at 5.3 vs 5.2 (Car Driver review) It heaps buckets of torque on you at cartoon like low rpms. This engine coupled w/the gearing (3:73) and dual exhaust is unreal. It sounds amazing as well. It pulls as hard or better in normal mode as my 18 Platinum 3.5 did in sport. This is just my experience at lower RPMs as mine isn't broken in so no high revs yet. I love the speed/torque and I'm sorry, nothing out there comes close for me. Yes, the 6.2 GMC is quick but the extra torque and how/when you feel this ( 1700 rpm) from the Tremor is just so early, instant and violent. The wheels are awesome and love the tire set up -very quiet for ATs. Not hating on other options as I do like and have owned GMC. The Raptor heritage alone is no joke when compared to what the competition offers. Couldn't be happier with my choice. Can't wait to try out Sport mode as I've heard it is blistering!
@@edwingiron09 Good to know! I feel that every truck should come with a V8 option. I stopped following updates on Fords after ordering a Raptor, but never getting it built due to Ford's production woes, as well as the quality going downhill.
What a time to be alive. I think this is the golden age of pickup trucks, if only they weren't so crazy expensive now. That being said I really don't think you could go wrong with either of them, both are really gorgeous and highly capable. Interior goes to the GMC, exterior to the Ford!
As you can see, I have one: fully loaded 402A package with ProPower Onboard 2KW generator and BlueCruise. almost 2 months old, it is simply amazing. It took one year to arrive, but the wait was worth it. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever had!
The Tremor 3.5 power is unbelievable and looks are amazing! Love my Tremor! Owned a 2019 Ram rebel and it was an amazing truck but this Tremor is unreal!
Tremor is the best all-around truck for off road and on-road. A tire change for both trucks would be a big plus. I have Tremor with 35 Toyo at3 and it still rides better than the at4x.
If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said GM wins. However, after having a very bad experience with a GM work truck (2018) I will lean in another direction. Peace, Love!!
@@MGReviewsBlog Our trucks get a little more pseudo-off-road "use" than your average 1/2 ton. We work in the 4-corners region of New Mexico, but never haul anything so we usually stick with 1/2 ton trucks. That truck had a few warranty issues early, but after having to replace the transmission, pinion gears, motor mounts, electronics, etc. at less than 60K miles, I'm done. It probably is just a lemon that didn't marinade quite quickly enough to be covered by the lemon-law because we have another identical truck that has had fewer issues (but less mileage). I don't think I can blame the driver too much, because he loves both Chevy and Ford and hasn't torn up any other trucks (generally takes very good care of them). When I told him I was going to sell the 2013 Tundra with 110K miles, he asked if he could drive that instead and have me sell his truck (and he is a redneck that doesn't really like Toyotas). The 2013 Tundra had an A/C regulator go out a few years ago (basically that's it), and a 2016 Tundra we bought used at 20K miles has had a speed sensor on a tire get damaged by gravel but no other problems. I'm not a "pure Toyota" guy and I just order a 2023 Tremor for myself because I still have Dodge nightmares from the past and now a GM nightmare to add to it. I just don't like the looks of the new Tundras, but I would have no issues buying them for work trucks just for reliability. Peace, Love!!

It's an excellent feature. I do agree that this review comes down to personal preference. Chose the At4x for me as I do more offroading than once a month, plus I felt that the interior was much better in the GMC, but that is just my .02! Liked and Subbed.

@@justinmcmahan5285 I didn’t compare shit. I simply stated the tremor is inferior to the AT4X which it is. I didn’t bring it up, just pointed it out. I’m not biased. Both trucks are overpriced trash
You should try using the AT4 step when there is a trailer hitch installed. I think your preference will change when you see that engineering miss on GM’s part. The step is not usable unless the hitch is out. I know many owners that have a dimple in their tail gate now because they opened the step onto the hitch
I know about the ball hitch issue. The 2022+ have a lockout feature so that you can't accidentally drop the inner gate. Or just remove the hitch when you're not using it.
Nice review, as I was looking at both these trucks. I went with the 22 Tremor and I love it !! Very smooth comfortable powerful truck capable of going where I need to go in the outdoors when I hunt or fish. Looks super sharp and I am getting almost 19mpg in the city. Just got it in November, so I havent taken it on a long trip yet to see about hwy mpg. Highly recommend the Tremor
I also bought the 2022 Tremor and love it. Best truck i've ever driven hands down. Now the AT4X is also awesome, but not $10k better imop. If i was going to pay $10k more i think i would upgrade to the 2023 F250 Tremor with 35" wheels. :)
Tremor ftw. No need to stop and fumble with front lockers....the torsion is always "on" and ready to go when needed... 3.5 is a beast and loves a jb4 +E30 Oh, and its 8-10k less! I'd like to see one of you guys in that 80+k Sierra go pinstripe it up showing the capabilities on a trail... haven't seen that yet 😅
This guy and the video both are super professional! I enjoyed watching. The GM still has wimpy sunroof and it's not a true flat rear floor. The Ford looks cheap overall, and the seat leather does not look tight with a good fit. Both of these trucks still need to take a page from RAM's interior when it comes to fit and finish. I love the GM's look, it just looks amazing from the outside and the cabin is getting better.
Ok my opinion about the tailgates..you don't need to have anything else but just a step because is you load your truck with plywood or anything longer than your bed you usually do it with your bed close, I drive ram now but I had f150 before and I really miss that step on the gate is not shaky like you said very easy to use and quick to deploy. Now, if you have like very busy multipro tailgate this makes the gate very heavy people like me I clouse and open the gate very often on my job site you will hated a heavy one so I will choose Ford gate over any other one
Great review! I’m thinking tremor. Maybe even the normal xlt with powerboost for better mpg. I always think I’m going to go off-roading but just do snow sport idk. Great options out there!
Got the ram and the f150, I have to buy something before New Years to deduct it off my taxes, and I’m getting either the Sierra or the Silverado, all fully equipped I like all the trucks I’m no fanatic of a brand like some other butt hurts
Agreed. Sadly GM always says that their 6.2L V8 is "good enough" for the off-road trucks. Maybe... but that's not pushing the boundaries of they can do like how the Corvette team pushed the boundaries.
My wife has almost 30,000 miles on her AT4X and it has been superb. I’m particularly fond of the interior and massaging seats. It’s actually nicer than our 22 Yukon Denali. I looked at the Tremor, but it just seemed too plain. Maybe that’s a plus for some 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly I think the AT4X looks better too. Especially if the 23 with bumper that has a factory wench. Ford missed on the looks of the tremor… but still very nice trucks. The price of the AT4X is mostly what I don’t like
Good to hear Ford improved the gear shifts in the 10spd tranny. So wonky and not smooth upshifting or downshifting at all in the lower gears. In 2021 and older models, clearing the adaptive tables seems to help a little bit, but that's not a permanent fix. Calling Ford dealership to look at it means a 3-month or longer wait time to get in. Booo!!!
Both trucks are awesome. Glad chevy finally redid that crap interior. I would go with the Ford tho. I like them a little more, and it's more on road friendly. I would likely use the towing and payload more than the offroad portion. Now it would be a tough decision with the regular AT4 as I am sorta interested in that 3.0 diesel. Sucker gets like 30mpg.. thats what I'm talking about.
@Camonly Yeah it was disappointing, blacked out Rst, sharp unit, and fuel mileage was insane, but to many emissions and electrical issues, I couldn't trust it...ditched it two months ago with only 33000km on it.
I'd love to do that too but I can't. The manufacturers don't want them to get damaged or scratched which I understand. If another auto journalist before me damaged it, I'd be pretty pissed too. Also, it's harder during this time of year to film. More rain, less daytime light, and still have to juggle a regular 9-5 job to pay the bills.
No better tire than the Duratrac for snow and on/offroad driving. Don't like the noise? Change your tampon. I'm a Ford guy but that AT4 - after the interior change - is really a good looking pickup. That gas bill though....yikes. Ford for me. Ram? Never heard of her.
I'd of preferred to see the Tremor 250 vs GMC.... Yes, I know its a 3/4, but consider it a closer fight with 6.2 V8. Personally I could care less about the EB V6 in a truck. Weird GM chose to run the compression so high in their 6.2 and forcing premium. I personally know of two that have went with the 5.3 vs the 6.2 for the premium requirement.
Reason is so many buy vehicles based on stats, the power available in all trucks today is more than enough but people look at the stats and make the decision based on the numbers.
@@Steve-yr5vi People want the best bang for their buck that’s why they research to buy the best most capable vehicles. Some don’t like to settle for inferior products. Always better to have more truck than you need
I think TFL has tested the 3.5 EB vs the 6.2 a few times and the EB has always won in a 0-60. It has a broader power band than the 6.2 also without the premium fuel requirement. The f250 would be an overkill in this comparison imo
My friend has a 2022 AT4. He dropped the tailgate step with his ball hitch attached and now has a dent in the tailgate. Not a good design in my opinion.
yea that's a problem with the multipro tailgate. But for the 2022 models, they incorporated a switch inhibit feature so that the inner gate can't be dropped by accident.
Yeah the ford is the one I will go with you can keep the GMC if you want more capability there is always the raptors the 6 cyl and now the 8cyl and Chevy or gmc may have the trailboss but the raptor just eats that truck up
I was thinking the 3.0 Diesel for the Sierra AT4x instead of the 6.2 🤔 but I really do like the Tremor. But thanks so much for this review. I was wondering if those tires on the Tremor are noisy on the road. You answered that for me. Thanks!
The 2023 year models for both trucks are much better versions. With the Tremor, as mentioned, you’ll be able to get it with the 5.0 Coyote, and with the AT4X you’ll get bigger 33” tires and an AEV front bumper for a much better approach angle.
I completely agree with the 33” tires being an upgrade on the AT4X, but how is the 5.0 engine with less torque than the 3.5 ecoboost an upgrade? Wouldn’t you want the most capability out of the truck?
@@rogeliojr.paredes4465 Yea the 5.0 v8 is less efficient and has lower hp and torque. Personally i think the 3.5 ecoboost is the clear winner, and is the upgrade option on the 2023. Sadly price went up a LOT for 2023 models so if you bought a 2022 you got a deal honestly. With current inflation 2024 models will in crease another 10% or more in price over 2023.... SO i guess buy as soon as you can if you want one of these trucks, they will go up a LOT every year for the forseeable future.
Both are nice trucks and your delivery/presentation is great. I Do find it odd though, that when comparing two trim levels with an eye toward offering "off road" capability you cast out the one that does it better. Your reason.... "Because I would hardly ever drive off road" What??? Then compare a Denali to an Platinum.
I know, I know. But if I hadn't chosen one between these two, then the comments section would have been "why didn't you pick one?" etc. If I were in the market for a truck around this price, I'd definitely go for a more street friendly trim of the F150 with the Powerboost engine.
What makes me so frustrated is that the Tremor has such ridiculous rake and makes me hate its stance. The AT4X (and ZR2) have a great stance, but too small of tires. GM is just so close with their vehicles, but fumble at the goal line
That would be nice but unfortunately I can't pick & choose which trim I get. These two just happened to be in the press media fleets at the same time, which is usually rare.
I'm sure there is some aftermarket support for the Tremor. I don't know specifically which brand (Magnaflow, Borla, etc) has made an exhaust for it or not.
@@MGReviewsBlog Any of the HD's have the ~6 1/2 foot bed (Power Wagon, Rebel, F250 FX4) or the FX4 F150 is the highest offroad package Ford does. Anyway, I always think 8 foot as the standard bed, pretty soon these trucks will have a 4 foot bed. Might as well just buy an SUV.
I don't think it is. It's a middle step between the standard F150 and the Raptor. If anything, it's a bit closer to the standard versions of the F150 than the Raptor.
My Ford dealer has brand new Tremors for 57-58K, I bet the GMC is $100,000. I gave up ever looking at Chevy/GMC ever again! My area is western NY state
The Tremor actually has the same overall width as the regular F-150 and the Sierra AT4X is about an inch wider than the Tremor. But you're right about the Raptor. I had trouble parking it in some spots when I drove it a few weeks ago haha
Well they're all thirsty engines but I averaged better numbers in the ecoboost Ford & the Ram 1500 when I last drove that truck: czcams.com/video/FAV7pu3eGAk/video.html I also drove the ram ecodiesel: czcams.com/video/BdjKtKBYSBM/video.html
Your tailgate opinion made no sense, why shake them around with the gate open and the steps extended ? The Ford is an aluminum gate , the gate and the step are much lighter than the GMC. Ford's tailgate step is beautifully simplistic and doesn't detract from the appearance of the truck like the GMC mess does. Also when you swing down the GMC step it has been a common problem to make contact with the Hitch /Ball and damage the gate. Not a good design at all.
Would you rather step on a wobbly ladder one that's more sturdy? That's the point I was trying to make. The step on the Sierra is wider and feels more sturdy than the one in the Ford. Yes, the step is better integrated in the Ford and the tailgate is lighter but the GMC has more functions built in. Why should I pay extra for a bed extender when it's already built into the tailgate? (or other accessories that provide the same features as in the Sierra tailgate) As for the hitch/ball, just remove it when you're not using it or use the switch inhibit function so that you don't accidentally press it and drop the inner gate. I'm not saying that the MultiPro gate is perfect but it offers more functionality and feels sturdier than the Ford's.
@@MGReviewsBlog I'd rather have clean simple perfect functionality than a poorly thought out disaster. When you use the ford step it doesn't wobble at all. Your wobble test would only apply if you decide to drive out on the road with the gate open and step extended .... why would anyone do that .
@@iggy-pg6gq well I own a SLT Sierra and interior materials are way nicer than the new lariat F150s we have at my office. Have you been in both the AT4X and the tremor? Btw I'm not partial or biased toward any brand. I'm thinking of downsizing to a smaller truck. Open to both of these in the video
@Mitch Baltazar Yeah, I cross shopped Gm, Toyota, Ford. Went with Tremor, I did not like the At4x interior at all, seats were hard and I was hitting my head on the center roof pillar where the sunroof guts hide, I found the interior plastics terrible as well, scratch way to easy, had that issue with my 2021 Tahoe. I also didn't like how they still come with black unpainted fenders and exterior trim at 100k CAN.... I purchased the 402a package, not disappointed.
@Mitch Baltazar Haha, I may also hold a slight grudge, that Tahoe was kind of a dud and I got rid of it a couple weeks ago, luckily people are still willing to pay new vehicles prices for 18month old used ones, so there was no financial loss.🤣🤣🤣
Good point! I've always wondered if people that buy these full-size, nearly $100,000 trucks actually use them off the beaten path or if they keep them as pavement princesses.
@15:25 Um, the features are not alike. Front and rear lockers and DSSV shocks. The ZR2 has already been proven to stomp the Tremor and the AT4X is similar enough.
Blue Cruise vs a free back massage every time you hop in your truck? That was an easy choice for me after seeing how BAD blue cruise was on my test drive. Ordered the AT4X over the Tremor the next day. And here’s something you won’t find out on your average channel about the AT4X, it can fit 35’s with no modifications, the Tremor cannot. My AT4X is rocking 39’s.
Two things...would love the 6.5 foot bed option on the Ford...my 09 dinosaur has it and the extra foot allows for 8 ft materials to fit kiddie corner with the tailgate up, or fully support 8 ft material with tailgate down...issue with the GM tailgate...I often drive with my trailer ball/hitch intact as I tow quite regularly...the feature on the GM tailgate will get damaged if your ball is attached...not fun with a 90k truck.
These are 2022 models. The V8 in the F-150 is available starting with the 2023 MY. Plus, these cars are from the manufacturers. They get to choose what trims, options, and features the trucks have, not me.
GM has a design aesthetic issue using squared wheel-wells, I just can’t get over how stupid GM vehicles have looked after going this direction after ‘72 which is the last good design.
When I first paid attention to the square wheel wells, I was int he same boat as you. But honestly, I just stopped paying attention to that. For me the most bold styling on trucks that catches my eyes is the big grille. To me, if it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, it ruins the design of the entire truck.
Car and driver got 0-60 in 5.3 and 5.4 on these trucks, because of 1 FT rollout, for those of you who think these trucks hit that number from a standstill in street conditions with a half to full tank. keep dreaming FAM.
Best 0-60 I got in my 2021 6.2 trail boss was 6.2 seconds I recently got rid of it for a 2022 Tremor and the Tremor is clearly faster from a driver’s perspective. The torque difference is night and day. I’m getting 0-60 at 5.7 consistently in similar conditions if I build up boost before launching. Ford definitely underrates their numbers and GM overrates.
Great review. Both trucks are ridiculously beautiful and capable. 10 years ago this is everything anyone dreamt of and more, yet here we are. Pick one and you won’t be disappointed.
Until you talk to your wallet and it says “sorry bud, we can’t swing either one”

Of the big three truck manufacturers, I personally like the Ram most for the exact reasons you provided.
Until your exhaust manifolds crack and you get the typical Hemi tick.
@D. Peterson hope not. That's why I leased it. Didn't know what to expect from a RAM. So far so good ,though.
Sadly...
That b roll intro was 🔥
Thanks!
I bought a 2023 Tremor with the 3.5.....in the states you get a 5.0 V8 standard and can opt for the 3.5 as an option for 2023
Yea I saw that on their website literally the day before I scheduled the video. Had to quickly add in the little note about the 5.0L engine.
You should try using the AT4 step when there is a trailer hitch installed. I think your preference will change when you see that engineering miss on GM’s part. The step is not usable unless the hitch is out. I know many owners that have a dimple in their tail gate now because they opened the step onto the hitch
I know about the ball hitch issue. The 2022+ have a lockout feature so that you can't accidentally drop the inner gate. Or just remove the hitch when you're not using it.
Honestly you dont even need that step, gms bumper cut outs on the corners is perfect. Makes it so easy and instant to get in and out easily.
You can lock it out by holding the button for a few seconds but, I know what you mean. There is an aftermarket hitch sensor that fixes issue too.
i want the gmc hands down ,
Nice review, as I was looking at both these trucks. I went with the 22 Tremor and I love it !! Very smooth comfortable powerful truck capable of going where I need to go in the outdoors when I hunt or fish. Looks super sharp and I am getting almost 19mpg in the city. Just got it in November, so I havent taken it on a long trip yet to see about hwy mpg. Highly recommend the Tremor
With the 5.0 or the turbo engines?
I also bought the 2022 Tremor and love it. Best truck i've ever driven hands down. Now the AT4X is also awesome, but not $10k better imop. If i was going to pay $10k more i think i would upgrade to the 2023 F250 Tremor with 35" wheels. :)
Ford has the same old boring body style
Boring? That must be why they Always Sell MORE!
@@cirbar3467 have wait for 23 model to get 5.0
FORD BABY👍👍👍👍
I’ll go with the tremor and save myself the $15,000
Ford also had better crash ratings.
yep, very true.
Tremor is ugly. Cant do anything about that huh 😂
@@xdean they both look dope to me
Tremor ftw.
No need to stop and fumble with front lockers....the torsion is always "on" and ready to go when needed...
3.5 is a beast and loves a jb4 +E30
Oh, and its 8-10k less! I'd like to see one of you guys in that 80+k Sierra go pinstripe it up showing the capabilities on a trail... haven't seen that yet 😅
My 2022 f150 3.5 does not skip 2nd gear unless you do something weird during acceleration to make it do it.
This guy and the video both are super professional! I enjoyed watching. The GM still has wimpy sunroof and it's not a true flat rear floor. The Ford looks cheap overall, and the seat leather does not look tight with a good fit. Both of these trucks still need to take a page from RAM's interior when it comes to fit and finish. I love the GM's look, it just looks amazing from the outside and the cabin is getting better.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I agree, I still think Ram has the best interior of any pickup truck.
Just bought a tremor. (My 2nd one). Love it !!!!
Had a GMC couple years ago, was not happy with it at all. The F150 looks like a much better truck. Going to get one before Jan 31
What happened to your GMC?
You evaluated 2 off-road oriented trucks without taking either of them offroad.
I have to return them with no damage or scratches so that the next journalist can still use them.
Ok my opinion about the tailgates..you don't need to have anything else but just a step because is you load your truck with plywood or anything longer than your bed you usually do it with your bed close, I drive ram now but I had f150 before and I really miss that step on the gate is not shaky like you said very easy to use and quick to deploy. Now, if you have like very busy multipro tailgate this makes the gate very heavy people like me I clouse and open the gate very often on my job site you will hated a heavy one so I will choose Ford gate over any other one
Great review! I’m thinking tremor. Maybe even the normal xlt with powerboost for better mpg. I always think I’m going to go off-roading but just do snow sport idk. Great options out there!
That powerboost engine is impressive. I'm glad Ford is offering it with many more trim levels.
2023 Tremor 5.0 what I'd love to get this year
I think this spec right here is ultimate sweet spot, glad the 5.0 is an option in the tremor next year
Loved my tremor. Love my raptor more.
Both super nice trucks! Great review.
Thanks for watching!
Got the ram and the f150, I have to buy something before New Years to deduct it off my taxes, and I’m getting either the Sierra or the Silverado, all fully equipped I like all the trucks I’m no fanatic of a brand like some other butt hurts
My biggest gripe with the AT4X is it should have a supercharged 6.2 for that price. Then it would compete with the TRX…
Agreed. Sadly GM always says that their 6.2L V8 is "good enough" for the off-road trucks. Maybe... but that's not pushing the boundaries of they can do like how the Corvette team pushed the boundaries.
Ford all day ❤
Win win! You just can’t go wrong on any of the new trucks today.
Yea, all of them are capable. It all comes down to personal preference & the little details.
Other than reliability.
My wife has almost 30,000 miles on her AT4X and it has been superb. I’m particularly fond of the interior and massaging seats. It’s actually nicer than our 22 Yukon Denali. I looked at the Tremor, but it just seemed too plain. Maybe that’s a plus for some 🤷🏻♂️
- billionaire confirmed
@@executive8680 plain 😂😂
Honestly I think the AT4X looks better too. Especially if the 23 with bumper that has a factory wench. Ford missed on the looks of the tremor… but still very nice trucks. The price of the AT4X is mostly what I don’t like
Good to hear Ford improved the gear shifts in the 10spd tranny. So wonky and not smooth upshifting or downshifting at all in the lower gears. In 2021 and older models, clearing the adaptive tables seems to help a little bit, but that's not a permanent fix. Calling Ford dealership to look at it means a 3-month or longer wait time to get in. Booo!!!
Yes, I was quite pleased to see (or feel) that the shift was much smoother when setting off from a stop.
Both trucks are awesome. Glad chevy finally redid that crap interior. I would go with the Ford tho. I like them a little more, and it's more on road friendly. I would likely use the towing and payload more than the offroad portion.
Now it would be a tough decision with the regular AT4 as I am sorta interested in that 3.0 diesel. Sucker gets like 30mpg.. thats what I'm talking about.
That duramax is a hit or a miss, had one in my 2021 Tahoe. LOTS of issues
@@iggy-pg6gq really? That's unfortunate.
@Camonly Yeah it was disappointing, blacked out Rst, sharp unit, and fuel mileage was insane, but to many emissions and electrical issues, I couldn't trust it...ditched it two months ago with only 33000km on it.
@user-qc3tq9sr3g dang! That's depressing. Guess just stick with the heavy dutys
one of the best reviews I've seen! Thanks! Definitely Tremor is my favorite!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Neither of those two, I’d take a normal loaded AT4 DURAMAX diesel.
Good video, I already ordered one tremor 402a
Congrats! Did the dealership make you pay any markup?
I like the Tremor, but wish it had the hud and that multifunction tailgate.
All I want is the hybrid Powerboost powertrain haha
Nice coverage but would've been nice to put them through their paces off road
I'd love to do that too but I can't. The manufacturers don't want them to get damaged or scratched which I understand. If another auto journalist before me damaged it, I'd be pretty pissed too. Also, it's harder during this time of year to film. More rain, less daytime light, and still have to juggle a regular 9-5 job to pay the bills.
@@MGReviewsBlog Understandable
GMC Sierra 1500 ATX in midnight blue
No better tire than the Duratrac for snow and on/offroad driving. Don't like the noise? Change your tampon. I'm a Ford guy but that AT4 - after the interior change - is really a good looking pickup. That gas bill though....yikes. Ford for me. Ram? Never heard of her.
🙄
I can vouch for the Duratracs. Just sold my 19 canyon all terrain (what they were before at4) and it was amazing in the snow… came with duratrac tires
Really great review!
I love my tremor😊
Tremor 5.0
FORD!
I'd of preferred to see the Tremor 250 vs GMC.... Yes, I know its a 3/4, but consider it a closer fight with 6.2 V8. Personally I could care less about the EB V6 in a truck.
Weird GM chose to run the compression so high in their 6.2 and forcing premium. I personally know of two that have went with the 5.3 vs the 6.2 for the premium requirement.
Unfortunately I can't pick and choose the trim levels, sorry. But the tremor is available with a V8 now for the 2023 MY
@@MGReviewsBlog Nice! 👍
Reason is so many buy vehicles based on stats, the power available in all trucks today is more than enough but people look at the stats and make the decision based on the numbers.
@@Steve-yr5vi People want the best bang for their buck that’s why they research to buy the best most capable vehicles. Some don’t like to settle for inferior products. Always better to have more truck than you need
I think TFL has tested the 3.5 EB vs the 6.2 a few times and the EB has always won in a 0-60. It has a broader power band than the 6.2 also without the premium fuel requirement. The f250 would be an overkill in this comparison imo
My friend has a 2022 AT4. He dropped the tailgate step with his ball hitch attached and now has a dent in the tailgate. Not a good design in my opinion.
yea that's a problem with the multipro tailgate. But for the 2022 models, they incorporated a switch inhibit feature so that the inner gate can't be dropped by accident.
Yeah the ford is the one I will go with you can keep the GMC if you want more capability there is always the raptors the 6 cyl and now the 8cyl and Chevy or gmc may have the trailboss but the raptor just eats that truck up
The Trailboss is on a lower level than this AT4X. At the moment, it doesn't look like GM will be doing a proper competitor to the Raptor or TRX.
I was thinking the 3.0 Diesel for the Sierra AT4x instead of the 6.2 🤔 but I really do like the Tremor. But thanks so much for this review. I was wondering if those tires on the Tremor are noisy on the road. You answered that for me. Thanks!
The AT4X isn't available with the diesel engine, just the standard AT4. Sucks :(
Only available in 6.2L
Just get a regular at4 they buffed the 3.0L so now it's better than the 6.2 if you ask me.
@@edwingiron09 I agree my friend👍🏽
I had the 3.0L in a Tahoe, so many issues, got rid of it with only 33000km on it... was really disappointed in that one, it was great on the highway.
Great review!
Thank you!
Chevy Silverado 6.2 Black
The 2023 year models for both trucks are much better versions. With the Tremor, as mentioned, you’ll be able to get it with the 5.0 Coyote, and with the AT4X you’ll get bigger 33” tires and an AEV front bumper for a much better approach angle.
I completely agree with the 33” tires being an upgrade on the AT4X, but how is the 5.0 engine with less torque than the 3.5 ecoboost an upgrade? Wouldn’t you want the most capability out of the truck?
@@rogeliojr.paredes4465 Yea the 5.0 v8 is less efficient and has lower hp and torque. Personally i think the 3.5 ecoboost is the clear winner, and is the upgrade option on the 2023. Sadly price went up a LOT for 2023 models so if you bought a 2022 you got a deal honestly.
With current inflation 2024 models will in crease another 10% or more in price over 2023.... SO i guess buy as soon as you can if you want one of these trucks, they will go up a LOT every year for the forseeable future.
@@rogeliojr.paredes4465 5.0 is faster than the 6.2
@@rogeliojr.paredes4465 because 400 HP and 410 ft-lbs torque is plenty, and Ford caters to all it's buyers, some want an NA V8.
That AEV bumper is hit or miss....I prefer the look of the 2022 model
Both are nice trucks and your delivery/presentation is great. I Do find it odd though, that when comparing two trim levels with an eye toward offering "off road" capability you cast out the one that does it better. Your reason.... "Because I would hardly ever drive off road" What??? Then compare a Denali to an Platinum.
I know, I know. But if I hadn't chosen one between these two, then the comments section would have been "why didn't you pick one?" etc.
If I were in the market for a truck around this price, I'd definitely go for a more street friendly trim of the F150 with the Powerboost engine.
Great video match up! GM high union wages drive up the price & kills its value and the required premium fuel NO way.
Thanks!
Union wages don’t drive up the price. GM has had revenue increase over 12% since last year. Wages haven’t increased that much. Get a grip buddy.
Ford has raised prices and removed content. Are you delusional? Ford also has the worst value in the segment
Great video btw bro
Thank you!
Great Review
What makes me so frustrated is that the Tremor has such ridiculous rake and makes me hate its stance. The AT4X (and ZR2) have a great stance, but too small of tires. GM is just so close with their vehicles, but fumble at the goal line
does the tremor have ambient lighting?
It does but it's nothing crazy or spectacular like in a Mercedes-Benz.
@@MGReviewsBlog thx. where is the lights? under dash? doors?
@@TheGregh1977 it's just a light that shines from the overhead console. I can't remember if you can change the colour or not.
AT4 all the way!
I’d take the ford with the 5.0. Faster and better payload and towing with ford. Plus gm has engine failing like crazy
You should review the 2022 f150 RMT
That would be nice but unfortunately I can't pick & choose which trim I get. These two just happened to be in the press media fleets at the same time, which is usually rare.
Can you add performance exhaust on the tremor?
I'm sure there is some aftermarket support for the Tremor. I don't know specifically which brand (Magnaflow, Borla, etc) has made an exhaust for it or not.
10k markup where I live on top of these already expensive trucks
I wish Ford offered the 6'6" bed with the Tremor. I can't stand the short stubby bed.
I don't think there are any standard bed off-road focused trucks. (I could be wrong on that but I can't think of any)
@@MGReviewsBlog Any of the HD's have the ~6 1/2 foot bed (Power Wagon, Rebel, F250 FX4) or the FX4 F150 is the highest offroad package Ford does. Anyway, I always think 8 foot as the standard bed, pretty soon these trucks will have a 4 foot bed. Might as well just buy an SUV.
Tremor is nice truck however i have guys say its a poor mans Raptor i dunno 😕
I don't think it is. It's a middle step between the standard F150 and the Raptor. If anything, it's a bit closer to the standard versions of the F150 than the Raptor.
Definitely the tremor
Thx for a one sided review
?? Ok.... it's totally fine if you don't agree with my opinions...
The tremor better choice
My Ford dealer has brand new Tremors for 57-58K, I bet the GMC is $100,000. I gave up ever looking at Chevy/GMC ever again! My area is western NY state
In that case I’ll take at4
The tremor like the Raptor is too wide for my liking in a light duty truck but that’s just me
The Tremor actually has the same overall width as the regular F-150 and the Sierra AT4X is about an inch wider than the Tremor. But you're right about the Raptor. I had trouble parking it in some spots when I drove it a few weeks ago haha
6.2 thirsty? Have you ever driven a Hemi, even the eco boost from Ford isn’t a gas saver.
Well they're all thirsty engines but I averaged better numbers in the ecoboost Ford & the Ram 1500 when I last drove that truck: czcams.com/video/FAV7pu3eGAk/video.html
I also drove the ram ecodiesel: czcams.com/video/BdjKtKBYSBM/video.html
Your tailgate opinion made no sense, why shake them around with the gate open and the steps extended ? The Ford is an aluminum gate , the gate and the step are much lighter than the GMC. Ford's tailgate step is beautifully simplistic and doesn't detract from the appearance of the truck like the GMC mess does. Also when you swing down the GMC step it has been a common problem to make contact with the Hitch /Ball and damage the gate. Not a good design at all.
Would you rather step on a wobbly ladder one that's more sturdy? That's the point I was trying to make. The step on the Sierra is wider and feels more sturdy than the one in the Ford. Yes, the step is better integrated in the Ford and the tailgate is lighter but the GMC has more functions built in. Why should I pay extra for a bed extender when it's already built into the tailgate? (or other accessories that provide the same features as in the Sierra tailgate)
As for the hitch/ball, just remove it when you're not using it or use the switch inhibit function so that you don't accidentally press it and drop the inner gate. I'm not saying that the MultiPro gate is perfect but it offers more functionality and feels sturdier than the Ford's.
@@MGReviewsBlog I'd rather have clean simple perfect functionality than a poorly thought out disaster. When you use the ford step it doesn't wobble at all. Your wobble test would only apply if you decide to drive out on the road with the gate open and step extended .... why would anyone do that .
Simple tends to have less problems… but the multipro tailgate is sick! Fords design functions just fine as a step…gmc went beyond that
GMC just looks way more premium, inside and out.
Keyword "Looks", if you sat in a At4 , you can tell they cut alot of corners
@@iggy-pg6gq well I own a SLT Sierra and interior materials are way nicer than the new lariat F150s we have at my office. Have you been in both the AT4X and the tremor?
Btw I'm not partial or biased toward any brand. I'm thinking of downsizing to a smaller truck. Open to both of these in the video
@Mitch Baltazar Yeah, I cross shopped Gm, Toyota, Ford. Went with Tremor, I did not like the At4x interior at all, seats were hard and I was hitting my head on the center roof pillar where the sunroof guts hide, I found the interior plastics terrible as well, scratch way to easy, had that issue with my 2021 Tahoe. I also didn't like how they still come with black unpainted fenders and exterior trim at 100k CAN.... I purchased the 402a package, not disappointed.
@@iggy-pg6gq thanks I'll compare. At first glance the GMC looks far better in my opinion but exterior isn't everything.
@Mitch Baltazar Haha, I may also hold a slight grudge, that Tahoe was kind of a dud and I got rid of it a couple weeks ago, luckily people are still willing to pay new vehicles prices for 18month old used ones, so there was no financial loss.🤣🤣🤣
90k for an "offroad" truck is stupid. All the capabilities are sweet, but cmon. Nobody buys these and uses them hard all the time
Good point! I've always wondered if people that buy these full-size, nearly $100,000 trucks actually use them off the beaten path or if they keep them as pavement princesses.
I love ford but that gmc looks so mean!!
@15:25 Um, the features are not alike. Front and rear lockers and DSSV shocks. The ZR2 has already been proven to stomp the Tremor and the AT4X is similar enough.
I was talking about interior features. I already mentioned the difference between the DSSV shocks and differentials in the Performance section.
Tremor
Blue Cruise vs a free back massage every time you hop in your truck? That was an easy choice for me after seeing how BAD blue cruise was on my test drive. Ordered the AT4X over the Tremor the next day. And here’s something you won’t find out on your average channel about the AT4X, it can fit 35’s with no modifications, the Tremor cannot. My AT4X is rocking 39’s.
Two things...would love the 6.5 foot bed option on the Ford...my 09 dinosaur has it and the extra foot allows for 8 ft materials to fit kiddie corner with the tailgate up, or fully support 8 ft material with tailgate down...issue with the GM tailgate...I often drive with my trailer ball/hitch intact as I tow quite regularly...the feature on the GM tailgate will get damaged if your ball is attached...not fun with a 90k truck.
the turbo suffers towing 6K lbs in AZ
Oh, unfortunately we don't get that sort of heat here in Vancouver :\
WhY wouldn’t this comp be v8- vs - v8. Makes no sense having a turbo comparison. Turbo wins hands down on fuel economy
These are 2022 models. The V8 in the F-150 is available starting with the 2023 MY. Plus, these cars are from the manufacturers. They get to choose what trims, options, and features the trucks have, not me.
tremor
GM has a design aesthetic issue using squared wheel-wells, I just can’t get over how stupid GM vehicles have looked after going this direction after ‘72 which is the last good design.
When I first paid attention to the square wheel wells, I was int he same boat as you. But honestly, I just stopped paying attention to that. For me the most bold styling on trucks that catches my eyes is the big grille. To me, if it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, it ruins the design of the entire truck.
The AT4X has a far superior engine and drivetrain(especially with the Duramax). Both nice trucks, but to attempt a comparison is silly.
AT4X IS THE KING
Car and driver got 0-60 in 5.3 and 5.4 on these trucks, because of 1 FT rollout, for those of you who think these trucks hit that number from a standstill in street conditions with a half to full tank. keep dreaming FAM.
Best 0-60 I got in my 2021 6.2 trail boss was 6.2 seconds
I recently got rid of it for a 2022 Tremor and the Tremor is clearly faster from a driver’s perspective. The torque difference is night and day. I’m getting 0-60 at 5.7 consistently in similar conditions if I build up boost before launching. Ford definitely underrates their numbers and GM overrates.
