A comparison of engine options
The Ford F-250 is equipped with a standard 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine that's good for 385 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The next step up is the optional 7.3-liter V8 gas engine that delivers 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. At the top of the mountain is the Ford Super Duty's 6.7-liter Power Stroke® turbodiesel V8 that can generate 475 horsepower and a muscular 1050 pound-feet of torque.
The standard engine in the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD is a 6.6-liter gas V8 with a little more horsepower and torque than the base engine in the Ford Super Duty. But for Texas truck drivers who want the most powerful engine, the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD diesel engine can't quite measure up to the Ford F-250's turbodiesel. The Chevy Silverado 2500 HD's 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 comes up short of Ford with 470 horsepower and only 975 pound-feet of torque vs. 1,050 pound-feet in the F-250 so Ford wins when it comes to the best available engine output.
A comparison of performance
The Ford F-250 Super Duty has a conventional towing capacity that ranges from 14,100 pounds up to an impressive 22,000 pounds. With fifth-wheel/gooseneck towing and the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8, the Ford F-250 shows up really big with an incredible maximum towing capacity of 37,000 pounds.
The Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with the optional Duramax® turbodiesel V8 and the Max Trailering package along with an available fifth-wheel/gooseneck hitch has a maximum available trailering of up to 22,500 pounds. That's more than 14,000 pounds less than you can get with the Ford F-250 Super Duty truck, so Ford wins the performance battle in a landslide. So heavy-duty truck drivers around Willis, TX who want the best available towing will gravitate toward the Ford F-250.
A comparison of interiors and technology
The Ford F-250 has an outstanding array of infotainment and technology features for Navasota, TX truck buyers. It comes with a standard eight-inch touch screen and an available 12.0-inch display and both are part of the Ford SYNC® 4 multimedia system.

The F-250 serves you well in terms of practicality with onboard scales as well as Ford's Smart Hitch system that can measure the tongue weight.

Chevrolet offers trailering assistant technology that includes a Transparent Trailer system and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View.
A comparison of safety features
Both heavy-duty trucks offer a reassuring list of standard safety and available safety features including automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. So while both trucks have a number of significant strengths, the Ford F-250 Super Duty comes out far ahead when it comes to critical metrics like the best available towing.
