Performance Chops

With a range of engine options available for both the Sierra 1500 and F-150, which truck is the best for life in Ontario? The 2022 Sierra has the F-150’s number when it comes to max horsepower, however, the F-150 does have a slight edge in towing. When we take a closer look at the full engine lineup of both vehicles, we uncover the full story.

Sierra’s Edge

Impressive and freshly updated for 2022, the 2.7L Turbo engine on the Sierra 1500 is a big standout. With 310 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque and paired with an 8-speed transmission, drivers are getting 20% more torque than the previous model year and the numbers show when put up against the competition. When looking deeper at other engines as well, the Sierra 1500 straight up outclasses the Ford F-150 in terms of capability.

Diesel Battle

Diesel lovers can rejoice at the sight of the audacious 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine offered on the 2022 Sierra 1500. Drivers can experience a best-in-class diesel horsepower of 277, along with 460 lb-ft of torque. For the 2022 production year, Ford has dropped diesel engines entirely from their F-150 vehicles, so if you’re a true diesel-diehard, the Sierra 1500 is the truck for you.
