Battle of the heavy weights

FOr the two comparing the GM 4500/5500 to the F450/550, THe 4500 was equal and could be had in GVWR's equal to BOTH the 450/550. The 5500 was equal to the GM 6500 with gvwr's from 19500-26K lbs. With the 5500 getting the 6.6 v8 dmax and the 8.1 v8. The 6500 only had options for a cat or later the Isuzu I6 motors. But what the 6500 had that the 5500 did not, was better trans options, 2 sp rear ends etc, so the gcwr would get upwards of 40-50K lbs, vs the 6.6 dmax only being at 26K initially, later it was moved up to 33K with the 2000 series allison, Which is a stronger version of the 1000 series, with a 2 sets of gears available.

Really when it comes down to which is the BEST truck......let your blinken rear end decide. At the end of the day, they all have good and bad faults etc.
