Definitely don't want to start my truck is better than your truck post.Beginning to look at 2022/2023 dually F350 or F450 and the GM 3500. Long box, 4x4, diesels in Lariat or King Ranch and High Country/Denali trim levels. On some forum (can't remember which) someone mentioned the newer Ford seats were less comfortable. Does anyone has experience with these two trucks - especially the newer models? There are not many trucks that fit this criteria for us to drive in our area - long trips to get to them.An FYI - while I am A GM guy, the larger fuel tank on the Ford may change my mind and I know I could replace the OEM tank, add a tank, etc. Not really interested in having to do that.Thanks in advance, Mike

I’m average height 6’ and not really a seat connessuer, if it’s not lumpy and the springs ain’t broke it’s generally good enough for me. But having had a few new GMs in the last several years, their truck seats (cloth and leather but same size and shape) have abnormally short seat bottoms, in my opinion. For a long trip, I’d take the 90k mile cloth seat on top of a rough suspension in the brodozer over the leather seat in my new Silverado 1/2 ton. Personally I’d buy a GM truck no problem, seats aside, but the GM truck seat bottoms are definitely less comfortable than any Ford or Dodge truck I’ve had over the last 20? Years. Caveat I have not been in any 2017-up super duty’s or 2015-up F150s.

Sorry you are not looking at Ram, the seats in our Laramie are very comfortable. Leather, heated, cooled, driver's 10 way power passenger 6 way power.I would suggest you take a drive in all three and let your bum decide.

Trim package makes a big difference as does your personal fit. You're the only one who can sit in a few and say if it's comfortable or not. The longest I have been in my 2020 F250 at a time was 8 hours. I still found the seat pretty comfortable.

Anyone have he ability to do a 6 hour straight test drive? That’s the only way to find out. My 13 Explorer Limited is OK for an hour or so, but 2 hours or more it’s unbearable! Thankfully it rarely gets driven longer than an hour.
