If you are in the market for a top-tier, luxury General Motors truck, you have likely narrowed your search down to two heavy hitters: the off-road-ready GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X and the pinnacle of on-road luxury, the Denali Ultimate.
At first glance, both carry sticker prices pushing $90,000 and offer incredibly plush interiors. You might find yourself asking, "What exactly is an AT4X, and why should I care when the Denali name is so established?"
If you have been shopping for a Super Duty lately around Lancaster County, you have probably noticed a new player in the lineup. While everyone talks about the 7.3L Godzilla, there is a younger brother on the scene: the 6.8L V8, often called the Mini Godzilla.
When you are looking at the top of the mountain for heavy duty trucks, the 2022 Ram 2500 Limited is usually what people point to. It is the fancy one, the one with all the bells and whistles, and arguably the most luxurious interior you can find in a pickup. But after spending some time with it here in Ephrata, I have realized that even a $92,000 truck has its fair share of quirks.
If you have been driving around Lancaster County lately, you have probably seen the new 2024 and 2025 GMC Super Dutys hitting the road. The Denali Ultimate is the king of the mountain for GMC, but is it actually the perfect truck?
Choosing a heavy-duty truck in today’s market is no small feat, especially with price tags climbing into the six-figure range. Here at Mark Martin Motors, we see a lot of high-end rigs roll through our neck of the woods in Ephrata, but the 2025 Ford F350 Platinum with the Tremor package is one that always starts a conversation.
If you have been looking for a heavy duty truck lately, you have probably noticed that the used market is full of 2023 and 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denalis. They look pretty similar from a distance, but there is actually a massive jump between these two model years. I get asked all the time by guys coming into the shop here in Ephrata which one they should pull the trigger on.
If you have ever hopped into your truck, started it up, and realized the radio is silent, you know how frustrating that can be. It is not just the music either; when these systems glitch out, you often lose your turn signal clicking sounds, door chimes, and even your hands-free calling.
If you are in the market for a heavy-duty diesel truck in 2024, you are likely looking at the two heavyweights of the industry: the General Motors 6.6L Duramax (found in the Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 and GMC Sierra) and the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke (found in the F-250 and F-350).
These are the two best-selling diesel platforms in the United States. While both are absolute monsters capable of hauling just about anything you throw at them, they have distinct personalities.
For years, the "Denali" nameplate has represented the pinnacle of GMC luxury. Many truck buyers assume that if you buy a Denali, you are getting every possible option. However, GMC introduced the "Denali Ultimate," creating a new tier above the standard Denali 1500.
We frequently encounter customers who either don't know the Ultimate exists or are confused about what justifies the price difference—which is often around $10,000.
When it comes to off-road dominance, Chevy’s ZR2 Bison lineup—developed in collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV)—is hard to beat. But if you are in the market for a trail-ready beast, which size fits you best?
We took a 2024 Colorado ZR2 Bison and a 2023 Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison out into the snow to see how they stack up. Whether you are looking for a nimble trail runner or a family-hauling V8 powerhouse, here is the breakdown to help you decide which truck is the better buy.
