While the Sierra proposes 3 gas powertrains (4.3-litre V6 engine of 285 horsepower, 5.3-litre V8 of 355 horsepower and 6.2-litre V8 of 420 horsepower), the F-150 offers you the following choices, which can be paired with a 6-speed or a 10-speed automatic gearbox:

• 2.7L EcoBoost V6 generating 325 horsepower;
• 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 375 horsepower;
• 5.0L V8 developing 395 horsepower;
• All-new 3.0L Turbo Diesel V6 of 250 horsepower and an impressive 440 lb-ft of torque.

Let's note that the diesel engine, offered on the Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum models, has a remarkable highway fuel economy rating of 7.8 L/100 km; one thing is for sure, the same cannot be said of the Sierra!

2. Large selection of models and very attractive basic prices

By shopping for your 2018 F-150 at 440 Ford in Laval on the North Shore of Montreal, you will be spoilt for choice among our 7 available versions, namely the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Raptor and Limited, not to mention the diesel version. You will also be able to choose between the 4X2 and 4X4 models, the Regular, Double or SuperCrew Cab as well as between 3 sizes of pickup box (5'6", 6'6" and 8'). By comparison, the Sierra 1500 only offers 5 versions, which are available in several configurations. Lastly, the F-150 has a MSRP of $28,649, as opposed to $33,020 for the GMC range's basic model.

3. Best towing capacity of its class

By opting for the 2018 F-150 close to Montreal, Blainville and the West Island, you will enjoy the best towing capacity of this class of pickup trucks! Indeed, if you choose a model fitted with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, you can haul up to 13,200 pounds! Although the Sierra provides a much respectable towing capacity of 12,500 pounds, it doesn't even come close to the F-150… both literally and figuratively! Even more, the maximum payload capacity of the Sierra is 2,250 pounds, which is truly not enough to catch up to the F-150 and its V8 engine, which has a capacity of 3,270 pounds.

4. Filled with technologies and safety features

Wi-Fi connectivity for 10 devices, SYNC Connect system, Apple CarPlay/Google Android Auto integration, navigation system with 8-inch touchscreen display, bi-zone climate control as well as 6-way or 10-way power seats with heating and ventilation are only a few of the commodities that you could find aboard your F-150, not to mention numerous USB ports and outlets, very practical to plug-in your electronic devices or even your laptop!

You can also rely, depending on the selected model and options, on various safety systems, including a 360-degree camera, a pre-collision assist system with pedestrian detection, cruise control with stop-and-go and so much more.

5. Top-selling truck of its class

If the Sierra ranks 4^th in the country for the number of sold units in 2017 (61,883), it still has a long way to go to catch up to the Ford F Series trucks, which dominate the Canadian market with sales of 155,290 units. But with so many features and capacities, it comes as no surprise that the F-150 is the top seller in the country for the 52^nd continuous year!
