The Chevrolet Heavy Duty lineup includes the 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8, which produces up to 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque.

Performance

The Ford Super Duty is built for heavy-duty performance, with best-in-class towing capacity and advanced features like Pro Trailer Backup Assist. The Chevrolet Heavy Duty also offers strong towing capabilities, but it falls short of the Ford Super Duty in terms of maximum towing and payload capacity. For those who need the ultimate in heavy-duty truck performance, the Ford Super Duty is the clear choice.

Drivetrain

The Ford Super Duty features a robust 4x4 drivetrain system with options for full-time 4WD. The Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty also offers 4WD, but the Ford Super Duty’s advanced drivetrain technology provides better handling and stability, especially when towing or hauling heavy loads. This makes the Ford Super Duty a more reliable choice for demanding tasks.

Tow Capacity

The Ford Super Duty boasts a best-in-class towing capacity of up to 37,000 lbs, making it the ultimate heavy-duty truck for towing large trailers, boats, and equipment. The Chevrolet Heavy Duty offers a respectable towing capacity of up to 36,000 lbs, but it still falls short of the Ford Super Duty. If you need the most capable heavy-duty truck on the market, the Ford Super Duty is the way to go.

Exterior

The Ford Super Duty features a bold, rugged design with a wide stance and muscular body lines. The Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty also has a strong, aggressive look, but the Ford Super Duty’s design is more modern and distinctive. With its available LED lighting and premium grille options, the Ford Super Duty stands out as the more stylish choice.

Interior Design

The Ford Super Duty offers a spacious, premium interior with available leather seating, a 12-inch touchscreen, and advanced ergonomic controls. The Chevrolet Heavy Duty also provides a comfortable interior, but the Ford Super Duty’s focus on luxury and technology makes it a more refined choice. Whether you’re on the job or on the road, the Ford Super Duty delivers a superior driving experience.

Technology and Infotainment

The Ford Super Duty features the SYNC® 4 system, with a 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, a newly standard Ford Connectivity Package, and an available B&O sound system. The Chevrolet Heavy Duty offers the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system with a 13.4-inch touchscreen, but it lacks some of the advanced features found in the Ford Super Duty. For those who want the latest in truck technology, the Ford Super Duty is the better choice.

Safety

The Ford Super Duty comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360™, offering advanced safety features like lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and pre-collision assist. The Chevrolet Heavy Duty also offers some similar features, but the Ford Super Duty provides a more comprehensive suite of safety features as standard.
