Some of the reasons I switch was the large back seat. I have 2 kids and we go camping alot so that was important. And they aren't getting any smaller. Also all the power ports at the back seat to charge their phones or tablets on long camping trips. Gm has 1 cig outlet. The power extend on the mirrors. Gm doesn't even offer it. Another reason is the DEF. I have a gauge on my ford! Also don't have to pop my hood to fill it, or stare at a big tank hanging below the frame. Ford has heated rear seats. I also like the camera by the 3rd brake light, again not available on a gm. Ford had better box lights than gm.
One thing that I dont really care about but definitely has a advantage over gm is that monster sunroof. That thing is HUGE!
The disadvantages to the ford is the ride. It is definitely rougher than the gm. The only other disadvantage to me was the height. I can barely get it in my garage. And I had to totally change my camper setup. But it's not a big deal if you don't pull a 5thwheel. The pro's far outweighed the con's for me. I did hear that gm has caught up on some of the deficiencies with the new model. However I haven't seen one in person. And probably wouldn't buy one anyway with that hideous grill.
