The Ford F-250 SD and the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD are two of the best big trucks available. That makes it hard to decide which one to buy if you don’t have any particular brand loyalty. Both have some strong benefits to consider, so let’s take a closer look.

Ford F-250 Super Duty

The Ford F-250 Super Duty could be called the King of Trailering. It has a max gooseneck towing ability of 22,800 pounds and a maximum available payload of 4,260. It’s the 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 that gives the F-250 SD its impressive power. However, it’s not just the engine in this case, but the pure strength of the chassis made from military-grade lightweight aluminum alloy. This lightens the truck but still makes it strong enough to pull many times its own weight.

Another benefit of the Ford F-250 Super Duty that’s loved by buyers is the top-quality status of its interior. This might be a big work truck, but it can still haul you and your passengers around in something approaching luxury. Some interior features depending on trim, include a suede headliner, ambient lighting, and multi-contour seats.

Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is no slouch either when it comes to towing and hauling. It can tow a maximum of 18,510 pounds when properly equipped. That covers the majority of things that the average person might need to tow. The Silverado 2500 HD also boasts high predicted reliability and owner-satisfaction scores.

Affordability is another area where the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD scores. The base model costs roughly $2,000 less than the Ford. Getting the highest trim of the Silverado 2500 HD will set you back about $10,000 less than the highest trim of the F-250. But the Chevy isn’t exactly known for its interior quality, like the Ford line of pickup trucks.
