When it comes to the future of driving, the battleground has shifted from horsepower to high-tech. If you are in the market for a new pickup in 2024, you’ve likely heard the buzzwords: BlueCruise and Super Cruise.
Both Ford and General Motors promise a hands-free driving experience that eases the burden of long highway hauls. But do they actually deliver? We took a 2024 Ford F-150 Lariat and a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate out on the road to find out which system reigns supreme.
The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X is GM’s answer to the premium off-road truck segment, competing directly with giants like the Ford F-150 Raptor and the Ram TRX. It promises a blend of extreme capability and high-end luxury. But does it deliver on all fronts?
After spending significant time with the AT4X, it’s clear that while GM got a lot right, there are some frustrating design choices that leave you scratching your head. If you are considering dropping serious coin on this premium rig, you need to know the whole story.
Deciding between a Ford and a Chevy diesel truck is a classic dilemma for truck enthusiasts. We recently took a deep dive into two powerhouse contenders: the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2 Duramax diesel and the 2024 Ford F-250 Lariat High Output Power Stroke diesel. Both are exceptional trucks, but they cater to slightly different preferences. Let's break down the features, performance, and what sets these heavy-duty titans apart.
When it comes to high-end heavy-duty trucks, GM has thrown down the gauntlet for 2024. If you are in the market for the absolute best in towing capability, luxury, and off-road performance, you have likely narrowed it down to two heavyweights: the Denali Ultimate and the AT4X.
Both of these trucks are fitted with the legendary Duramax diesel engine, but they serve very different masters. One is the undisputed King of the Road, dripping in chrome and leather. The other is a factory-lifted trail warrior designed to conquer any terrain.
For decades, few powertrain combinations have commanded as much respect in the heavy-duty truck world as the Duramax diesel engine paired with an Allison transmission. For many GM truck buyers, that Allison badge on the hood wasn't just marketing—it was the primary reason for the purchase.
However, recent developments have revealed that this legendary partnership is coming to a definitive end. The "divorce" between General Motors and Allison Transmission is final, and it's shedding light on a confusing few years for GM truck owners.
If you are towing anything north of 7,000 lbs, I highly recommend moving up to a heavy-duty diesel platform. And if you do, add air suspension.
Whether you choose Logic IQ (which offers incredible tech) or Airlift (which offers a slightly longer warranty), having the ability to level your load makes for a safer, smoother, and more enjoyable towing experience.
