2018 Ford F-250 vs. 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Comparing Ford F-250 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 2500 pickups used to be tough, but Ford’s revolutionary engineering has seen its Super Duty lineup dominate everything competitors can put forwards.

It’s the only truck capable of delivering:

• Up to 450 hp and 935 lb-ft of Torque
• 18,600-Pound Maximum Tow Rating
• Class-Exclusive Trailer Reverse Guidance
• Class-Exclusive Adaptive Steering System

Powertrain Options

Both the 2018 Ford F-250 and the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 come with a gas V8 as standard and an available diesel V8, but the Chevy never comes close to matching the Ford truck’s output.

Ford engines include:

• 6.2L Gas V8: Makes up to 385 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.
• 6.7L Turbocharged Diesel V8: Makes up to 450 hp and 935 lb-ft of torque.

Chevy engines include:

• 6.0L V8: Makes up to 360 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque.
• 6.6L Turbocharged Diesel: Makes up to 445 hp and 910 lb-ft of torque.

Whether in terms of horsepower or torque, gas or diesel, the Chevy truck always plays second fiddle.

Towing and Payload Capability

Ford’s audaciously powerful engines deliver finer performance than the Silverado 2500 could muster, and they result in untouchable capability specs.

• Maximum Towing: Up to 18,600 pounds with the Ford F-250 vs. 18,100 pounds with the Chevy Silverado 2500.
• Ford Super Duty F-250: Up to 4220 poundswith the Ford F-250 vs. just 2,150 pounds with the Chevy Silverado 2500.

Whether towing a trailer from Conroe to The Woodlands or carrying heavy loads around Spring, the Ford can always handle more than the Chevy.

Technology

The Ford F-250 isn’t content to just deliver more power and greater capability than the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 — it also offers the following class-exclusive features:

• Class-Exclusive Trailer Reverse Guidance: Provides visual rear guidance to show where you’re going with trailer attached.
• Class-Exclusive Adaptive Steering System: Steering input feels tighter at low speeds for improved agility and relaxed at high speeds for a smoother ride.
