Which One Would You Choose: Ford F-250 Super Duty or Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

You have work to do, but you also have time for you and your family to venture off with your trailer. Your needs are much more than most people’s. There is a pickup truck for that. And you have choices. 

Chevrolet offers a solid three-quarter ton heavy-duty pickup truck. They have good specifications and can meet your needs. However, one pickup truck has been the standard for every heavy-duty pickup truck for the past thirty years and more—the Ford F-Series Super Duty.

Why the F-250 Super Duty and not the Silverado 2500HD?

It comes down to capability. The numbers you need to know before deciding which truck to use for daily use – including the weekends. Using a conventional tow hook-up, your F-250 Super Duty is rated to tow up to 22,000 pounds. Using a gooseneck or fifth-wheel connection, that maximum tow rating is increased to 22,700 pounds. 

When you need the box to do the job of bringing home the work, payload ratings range up to 4,268 pounds. That’s over two tons of equipment, yard work…you name it!

The F-250 Super Duty is offered with two gasoline V8 engines and two turbocharged diesels. This is the widest engine choice in its size class. Both Power Stroke turbocharged diesels put down some serious torque to get the job done. We’re talking 1,050 pound-feet of torque on the Power Stroke and 1,200 pound-feet of torque on the V8 version. For both gasoline and diesel engines, these numbers supersede any diesel-powered three-quarter-ton pickup truck. 

Beyond its high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body and fully-boxed, high-strength steel frame is a host of technologies to make the job you do easier in an F-250 Super Duty. Our 12-inch digital instrument cluster is much clearer and easier to read and augmented with the available head-up display. You have more precise 360-degree cameras that also read beyond the trailer. 

If you always have trouble hitching up your trailer, the F-250 Super Duty offers Pro Trailer Hitch Assist. It automatically steers and brakes to make sure of a perfect connection before you hit the road. 

For both productivity and leisure purposes, the F-250 Super Duty also offers Pro Power Onboard, which allows you to plug in your tools or add more light to your outdoor activities at night. 

These are the standout features that the F-250 Super Duty offers, which no other three-quarter-ton pickup truck has – Chevrolet included. That is why the F-Series Super Duty has been part of a family of the best-selling vehicles in America for over four decades.
