Ford F-250 vs. Chevy Silverado vs. Ram 2500
It’s no secret that the Ford F-150 is the most popular pickup across the automotive industry. Competitors like the Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 simply can’t match the excellence that the F-150 has accumulated over the years.
However, does that advantage remain when drivers upgrade to the 2018 Ford F-250? The answer to that question is a resounding “yes,” thanks to the strength and features that the Ford F-250 provides.
Performance
Motorists who opt for the 2018 Ram 2500 will start out with the brand’s signature 5.7-liter V8 HEMI® engine, capable of generating 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Silverado drivers will be able to tap into even more standard power, courtesy of the Silverado 2500HD’s available 6.6-liter Turbo Diesel V8, which generates 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque.
Unsurprisingly, the 2018 Ford F-250 is able to easily surpass the performance of both these engines. Its base powertrain is a 6.2-liter V8 engine, with an impressive 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
The Ford F-250 offers a diesel engine of its own: 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine. This engine outputs 450 horsepower and 935 lb-ft of torque.
Technology
Of course, power isn’t everything; modern truck drivers expect a bit of refinement with their vehicles.
The 2018 Ram 2500 and 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD both offer some amusing bells and whistles for drivers and passengers to entertain themselves with.
However, the 2018 Ford F-250 delivers features that complement its remarkable performance. A standard tailgate-mounted rearview camera allows drivers to achieve the perfect parking job every time. What’s more, the available Trailer Reverse Guidance system (a class-exclusive technology) provides that same level of vision when hauling cargo.
For the power and features required to get the job done right, the 2018 Ford F-250 is the vehicle to go with. You can learn more about this powerful pickup when you stop into Two Rivers Ford.
