The 2019 GMC Sierra vs Ford F150 vs Ram 1500 towing comparison is comprised of towing a 7,000-lbs trailer on a 66-mile loop – at (nearly) a mile above sea level. We were able to pit the 2019 GMC Sierra vs Ford F150 vs Ram 1500 near Hudson, Colorado on a brisk October day. Stephen, Andre and Nathan work together to get all three trucks on the mpg loop on the same day.
