Head to head
Trim-by-trim prices (last 4 model years)
A fair comparison matches equivalent trims, not overall medians. Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the Ford F-350 XLT ($54,590) faces the GMC Sierra FLEET/BASE ($33,890); the most common trims on the market are the LARIAT (57.4% of Ford F-350 listings) and the SLT (24.5% of GMC Sierra listings); at the top of the market, the PLATINUM ($89,577) faces the DENALI ULTIMATE ($60,492). Share = portion of the model's trim-labeled used listings (a supply-side popularity signal: what the market actually stocks and sells most). “Cheapest”/“Priciest” mark the ends of the quotable trim range — trim ladders don't map one-to-one across brands, so this is not a factory base-model claim.
