Variety isn’t merely the spice of life. It’s the necessity of performance. Anchoring the new Ford F-150 is a dynamic suite of engine options - allowing Saskatchewan drivers to seamlessly adapt to any challenge. These seven blocks have been meticulously designed for all terrains, delivering a wide range of horsepower and torque capabilities to the Regular, Super Cab, and SuperCrew configurations:
3.3L Ti-VCT V6: 290 HP, 265 lb.-ft.
2.7L EcoBoost: 325 HP, 400 lb.-ft.
5.0L Ti-VCT V8: 400 HP, 410 lb.ft.
3.5L EcoBoost: 400 HP, 500 lb.-ft.
3.5L Full-Hybrid V6: 430 HP, 570 lb.-ft.
High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6: 450 HP, 510 lb.-ft.
High-Output Supercharged 5.2L V8: 700 HP, 640 lb.-ft.
Each engine - which features aluminum constructions and a blend of mechanical bucket valves and roller finger followers - has been painstakingly tailored for high-performance. Port-fuel and direct-injection technologies bolster every block, affording superior resource consumption; while twin independent cam timing technology regulates the power-band, allowing the F-150 to better respond to changing conditions. This suite connects drivers to the precise outputs they need, earning between 5,000 pounds to 14,000 pounds of towing and a maximum payload rating of 3,315 pounds.
The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, comparatively, delivers none of Ford’s variety. This pick-up only offers four engine options (the 2.7L Four-Cylinder, 310 HP and 420 lb.-ft; the 5.3L V8, 355 HP and 383 lb.-ft; the 6.2L V8, 420 HP and 460 lb.-ft; and the 3.0L TurboDiesel, 305 HP and 495 lb.-ft) and these fail to achieve the best-in-class numbers of the F-150. Additionally, drivers will struggle with payload demands - with a paltry 2,270 pounds available at maximum capacity. Performance will be severely compromised.
Winner: The 2023 F-150 fleet effortlessly revs past GMC, affording superior power for every adventure.
