HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2023
- We pit the Ford F-250 Limited against the Chevy Silverado 2500 High Country to find out which truck handles the best. We tow 10K lbs and take a look underneath both trucks to help us decide which is better.
The updated Ford Super Duty packs 1200 lb-ft of torque, while Chevy's Duramax diesel makes 975 lb-ft.
Watch the video and let us know which truck you would buy, the Chevy or the Ford, in the comments below.

Being a contractor ford no doubt, nothing wrong with the Chevy, it’s more than capable, anyone who can afford them should be happy, I personally drive a 2021 550 ford for work which is truly amazing …easier to judge than a car, turns like a car and being detuned as a cab and chassis with 4.88 is a still a beast at 12k empty
Idk I use to drive a f450 cab and chassis with a newer power stroke that was de tuned had a service bed with a crane on the back and it was ungodly slow topped out at 82 and got 9 mpg while leaking oil like crazy from the upper pan truck was a turd that’s why I didn’t buy a super duty for my personal truck.
You and your Dad do really solid, detailed truck reviews with great photography...thanks....much appreciated!
Everybody gave a round of Applause to chuck king and his father. These guys know how to start a channel. Indefinitely know how to keep people on the channel. I love this channel. And I will always be a part of it. Best channel in Canada.
The squat of each truck with the trailer hooked up would have been a pretty nice detail to cover. Maybe helpful for future videos.
That's why air bags on the rear are a must have, Ford & Chevy should make that an option when configuring a vehicle.!
I own both f450 and a brand new high country dually and without a doubt the Chevy is more comfortable all around , yes the limited seats are a plus and the ford has WAY MORE STORAGE space in cab but all in all point for point comparison goes to the high country
I hated my f450
I think it's because of commercial tires
Except for I'd have to drive it in reverse everywhere.. that front end is FUGLY!!!
Love the under carriage review.. never seen that and it’s a great and unique view point. Sub’ed
Truck King. You do such a great job.
Midnight edition should REALLY be offered on other colors. Your absolutely right.
It's called midnight edition because it's black.
@@dwayneblanchette call it something else then, but black out all the trim, wheels ECT.
It actually is. It's called "sport edition". The grille, emblems, and wheels are blacked out just like midnight edition and I believe it's only available in red, white, and grey exterior colors and is available starting at the LT trim level. I personally like the actual midnight edition myself, ordering one in the next couple weeks.
It is. Crazy how many people don’t know this!
I JUST TRADED MY 2500 RAM LIMITED IN FOR THAT CHEVY, I HAVE ZERO REGRETS THE HELL WITH THE RAM. I LOVE THAT HIGH COUNTRY.
Great video guys, love your views.
I know yall don't get a say in what trucks you get. But IMO, the high country is closer to the king ranch or maybe the platinum trim, which would bring the prices closer together
i agree the denali ultimate would be a better comparison
Bruh, you and your dad do an excellent job on detailing the information on these trucks. Really appreciate it. I was always a chevy guy and I just got my 3500 midnight edition LT. Thanks to your input. Was Doing a Chevy anyway!😂😂
Excellent episode as always!!! 😁
I would go with the F250 it’s the best in my opinion
You r opinion is wrong & awful.
I own the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD High Country. It is without a doubt the best pickup I have ever owned. And I have had a bunch.
I cringed the whole time you were under those trucks with that angle iron stand 😬 Be careful! What a detailed informative video as always. Happy holidays
Great video! Just traded in our 2017 F-250 King Ranch for a 2024 Chevrolet 2500 LTZ a couple of weeks ago here in Houston. The quality of our Ford was terrible. We had multiple problems with it. Major problems! For us, Ford’s quality issues on a $90k truck kept us from buying another one. The new interiors on Chevys are vastly improved from when we bought the 2017 Ford. This year Chevy is competitive. We tow a 10k pound trailer and I can’t wait to see how this truck performs. We definitely noticed the significant price difference on MSRP but we also received a $4,000 cash back from Chevy on the new truck whereas Ford was charging a mark up on the new Super Duty. The choice was very clear for us. A comparable Chevy was at least $13k less than the Ford and the Ford quality issues sealed the deal.
Yes sir I have a Chevy 2500 z71 diesel a 2019 I'll never go back to ford again
I haven’t Owned a GM product since 07’ and won’t own one ever again. Seats are like sitting on a 5 gal bucket
@gregmurphy6830 You literally just stated your opinion is based on the seats in a chevy from 19 years ago. Cuz that totally makes sense🤦♂️🙄
My 2017 L5p had terrible reliability so good luck
@@astiles21 yes but I just use the truck for fishing I don't pull anything with it.. I just bought it because I wanted over kill... Because from what experience tells me if you use a truck that was meant to work for leisure it will last a lifetime.. this truck has never worked a day in its life. It's spends it's time basking in the sun with a Margherita in the cup holder 🤣.. now if I was working hard with it I could understand
Thanks for the great review. The major issue you point out is pricing of $9k more for the Ford but in that case you would have to compare the King Ranch which is the same trim level as GM's High Country. Ironically the King Ranch is $9k less than the Limited. I absolutely love my 2022 Ford F-350 SuperDuty Platinum Powerstroke.
Dude smoking crack the king ranch and the high country is not the same trim level. More like the LTZ and the King Ranch on the same trim level.
@@Buuboi214 You’re the one smoking crack.
High Country is the direct competitor to Ford’s King Ranch and/or Platinum.
GM doesn’t have a package comparable to Limited - the fact that High Country still has to be optioned out proves that.
LTZ is more comparable to a Lariat High
@@johnnyjackson1783 😂😂 what a 🤡
@@Buuboi214 He's right, you're the one looking like a clown
that ford annihilates the gm product so bad I'd be willing to shell out 20 grand more
Great video guys.
I think mentioning the 48gal fuel tank on the Ford LB is a major factor. It’s definitely nice not needing to fuel up as often when towing or traveling.
I shopped the GMC AT4 2500HD vs the Ford F250 Tremor. Both gas. I ended up buying the GMC and love it. Thanks for a great channel.
Honestly the One Ton is the best, don’t have to worry about towing and the RESALE VALUE is the Best. I used to be brand loyal but if my interior is going to look like a Lincoln Town Car then it’s for me. I’m 6’3” 305 lbs retired truck driver so I want to be comfortable and I want Grunt!!! Great Videos, 🙏 I priced the F350 Limited Loaded for 108 and change American.
I don’t think resale value is that good tho
Best Canadian reviewers awesome dudes 👌
As always great job on comparing the two.
I'm Ford but both are super nice trucks but neither is worth the money.
With that said I'd still take big green. It does everything that I would ever need without all the electronics. I'm not a house mover so I don't need all that power & torque.
Big green has 4X4, heat, & no computers, perfect.
I've had all three, with chevy these days, But it's amazing That any of the 2500/3500 Trucks from the big three Effortlessly handle loads that you used to need a 5500 "medium duty" for. Last year I took one of my 10k lb Cargo trailers through the rockies, And it was downright casual
Great reviews
Hi great video!
Just bought a 2024 duramax ltz 3500 srw and it's a towing machine .Duramax and Allison very reliable also.
I like the Chevy as well. It looks good in and out. No matter what updates Ford does to their trucks. I cannot tell if it's a 2021 or 2024, they all look the same and very generic looking, as well. I like the premium feel both in and out of the Chevy and you can tell it looks new and not a four-squared flat side with the same old front windows cut lower. That is so 2000 series and that alone dates every Ford truck on the road.
I think the right comparison would be to the GMC Denali ultimate to the limited but great video very informative as usual
The Denali Ultimate compares with the Limited on the Ford. Regular Denali compares with the Platinum. SLT comparable to the Lariat.
@@pnwdweler4100 Thats what i meant to say yea i totally agree
Agreed, Denali untimate comes with massage seats I believe
The camera mirror in the Chevy is the winner for me. Being able to see with different loads in the bed or on the trailer makes a big difference when you have to use the old R.
I just bought a 24' silverado LTZ71 Allll⭐️ diezuuuul! Beautiful truck!
Same here bro. I love it.
Me too. So far so good!
I have a 2022 f250 with the 6.7, and have owed all them brands in the last 5 years. This 22 250 is hands down the best of the bunch. I bought it used with 9k miles so price was different for me. I always refer to the railroad track test and the f250 sounds so firm and solid going over the tracks, my rams sounds like some stuff may have fell off….and I just plain don’t like GM’s IFS when it gets rough out there. Just my 2 cents.
You’re correct in leaning Chevy, but I’m sticking with my Ram.
I was skeptical of in independent suspension 1979 Chevy LUV ( Isuzu) Guess I WAS wrong ... Ford solid Axel seems to have an Appetite for ball joints Also I like Isuzu engineering in the Duramax. Ford did a lot with Mazda( Should have did more The Chevy Shines
The grills of these trucks look so similar; really shows how much cooling seems to be a priority. If it's function over form, I'm all for it.
The trucks look completely different….
Grills look nothing alike🤣
Lol, I have to agree, they look night and day difference and IMO the Chevy has a wayyyy better looking front end.
You are spot on again
Definitely should be able to get other color like red in black out edition
👌🏽👌🏽
You can, it's called sport edition available starting at the LT trim level. Think it's limited to white, red, and grey exterior.
One of the things I'm come to recently think about is power. Every generation each brand is more hp and torque. In theory I think the Chevy sits right at the sweet spot for power. However efficiency would be the best thing to work on for all brands. If you had to tow from Texas to Florida a 40ft travel trailer you're gonna be pulling at 5-6 maybe 7-8 mpg. If they could increase that to 10-12 that would be such an amazing improvement. Most trucks nowadays don't need any more power we need efficiency. If I could have 1 less fill-up on my drive that would be great.
Good review. If price was the swing factor-be careful. I custom ordered 2023 an XLT with standard output 6.7, everything heavy duty tow options including factory installed 5th wheel, 2,000watt outlet in back etc. sticker was 71k I got it for 65k us $. My guess is someone could order starting with lariat package and add options to what else the want and pay much less than that limited. The only reason I buy ford is dealer is close. Chevy dealer is an hour away. I would probably buy Chevy if it was the other way around. This is my 3rd f250 and the last two have been remarkably reliable.
gotta love how the high output is the choice of comparison instead what the everyday average joe is going to purchase on the f250 or the 2500 cummins
Regarding the skid plates, its important to mention these trucks are not apples to apples. The Z71 on the Chevy is better compared to the FX4 on the Ford. The FX4 on the Ford will include those skid plates, which I believe are ALL steel, no plastic. I am surprised TK did not mention that...
great video
The Ford has that awesome panoramic glass roof and the Chevy still has the same old small sunroof they’ve had for years. A better test comparison would’ve been a Lariat Ultimate HO with the standard bed. Better comfort in the seats, more power and more useful towing tech along with the more powerful inverter setup in the Ford…It was a no brainer for me Ford SD all day.
The problem with the heavy sunroof is the weight. That number comes right off the payload. I ordered mine without one. One more thing to fail.
the fact either truck has a sunroof makes me hate them both. Why would you ever want one?
@@6582rg Agree 100
Most people don’t use a sun roof. Waste of money.
I would rather have the head space because I am a tall man and want the headspace.
We bought a 2024 Chevy LTZ 3500 HD and really like it. The disappointing thing so far is the goose neck trailering package should come with the bed view camera. How do they expect to see the ball to hook up without it. Yes, that camera comes with another safety package as they name it. All those other cameras cost so much more for the farmer who is pinching pennies. I could not order that safety kit. I had to take what was available.
I think that an important thing to consider is the fuel economy savings of the Ford over the lifetime of the truck. It might be more money out the door, but your fuel savings costs help level the cost of the vehicles as fuel will only get more expensive.
Chevy offers a z71 sport edition,which blacks out the chrome accents with a different body color. As far as i know,you can get white,red,grey,and dark blue with that package.
Great comparison guys! to answer the question at the end, I would tentatively rather the Chevy based on looks and needs (less powerful engine is fine for what I do) and I really dislike that front Ford air dam. Finally, the decision would be based on a test drive because quite honestly when I bought my last pickup in 2020 we dropped the GMC vs the Ford because the GMC/Chevy seats were like sitting on a cement park bench and completely uncomfortable. Hope that has changed! Keep up the great review guys! Big fan!
You must like to compromise
Your right, the seats suck in the GM/Chevy. I sat in my cousins 2023 F250 Lariat, the seats were awesome, but they sit up too high. Im 6'2 and was looking out of the top 3" of the drivers window. Can these clown car companies get anything right?
That Chevy front end looks like an 90 year old ass.🤢
I'm pretty sure the seats are the same from 2020 to present.
My pops owns a Denali ultimate and I have a 2020 f250 platinum. And I can tell you rn my seats are way better. But agree the looks on the Chevy are awesome!
After using rams knob shift and a couple of other vehicles with button shift on the dash, that is the route I wish everyone would go
Column shifter for automatic trucks.
Nice video. A couple observations I’d like to make is
1) if you ran the Chevy in auto 4wd for the entire test that would explain the fuel milage difference.
2) if the Ford had the short bed like the Chevy it would have a smaller tank. 34 gallons I believe. I do agree Chevy should offer a bigger option for the 8’ bed trucks.
I have a 24 sierra. I love it; however, i'd like to point out that I get terrible fuel economy. Its much worse than my 17 sierra. Its slower too! That being said, its one smooth machine.
@@profjohnfrinkswhat does your fuel mileage look like
@@migfaz I havent done any actual calculations, the computer seems to hover in the 13s... mixed city and highway. Bed is loaded with tools probably 2k lbs. My old truck was getting around 16mpg, same cargo. Old truck had a cap, new truck has a retractable bed cover. Not sure if that has any bearing on it.
Thanks for replying, im looking to upgrade my 08 LMM to a 24 high country and was wondering about the fuel mileage
@@migfaz im assuming you get better fuel economy than the new ones...the trucks just keep getting heavier. Somehow, the new truck seems to be better in the corners than the old truck, despite the mass increase. Like I said, the smoothness is the most notable thing, very serene considering the capability. I almost went midnight edition high country. I went ultimate instead, for the interior!
Both trucks well all trucks nowadays are scandalously expensive but for the money I would lease the Chevy and buy the Ford. You can't go wrong with either one as a ton of engineering has been done to these very capable trucks. It pretty much comes down to which one appeals to you more for your lifestyle and use of a vehicle like these two.
I love my G80 automatic locker vs the manual rear locker on the Ford, one this less for me to worry about.
Great video gents! What's the one year depreciation on these trucks, $25k? $30k? What is the redesign rate on this segment, 4 years? Does that cause another significant drop in the residual value? I'm sorry, but at these prices, the only thing my brain will consider is the financial aspect of ownership, and the potential driving experience goes in one ear and out the other. Congratulations to anyone who can make these things a worthwhile purchase, but i can think of a lot of things i would rather do with $150k (MSRP+ tx+ delivery). On the other hand, Steve and Howard are great. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video.
How TF did you come up with $150K as the price for these trucks??
And what do base your depreciation numbers on??
Forget the huge profits people were making during the last 3 years flipping these HD trucks.. all trucks for that matter....the worst I've done was sell my '12 F-350 private party for aprox. $12K less than I purchased it for after 7 years.
I like the old school shifter on the steering wheel.
I was a Ford guy (Owned a 2019 F250 diesel for towing). After all the recalls (dealer not fixing), death wobble when towing; I swithced to Chevy. Chevy isn't perfect, but so far it is far better than Ford....Vehicles aside, I found the dealer experience better to deal with than Ford. The death wobble was the big thing! Very unsafe! Final truck purchsed was a 2024 Chevy 2500 LTZ Diesel....same options of a High Country....For much less than a Ford....
Dealer didn't fix your recalls? I find that hard to believe, since those are federal (NHTSA) mandated to fix. Now if it's just a TSB, then I could see them not doing it. I have two HD pickups, a 2012 Ram 2500 4x4 and a 22 F-250 Tremor and I've never experienced death wobble on either of them (231K on the Ram and 37K on the Ford) both bought brand new.
Bought the ford, a 2023 F250 Tremor with the HO 6.7. Honestly, the pro power onboard to me is worth the price difference. When I worked out of a sprinter van, I would carry a 6000wh Goal Zero battery to keep my gear (commercial media) powered up and all the batteries charged. Now with the Ford I can trop everything up en-route and even use it as a generator on site if need be. Yes, the price is a bit of a punch in the balls (mine was $100K US), but the truck is SO good.
Nice. It may be a small thing but 20" wheels on any HD are going to negatively affect ride quality, especially off-pavement. Anyway I'm planning on buying a F250 SuperCab with the standard bed but can't decide on the engine. Can you feel the extra power with the HO? Since mine will get some (not a lot) off-road use and I won't be towing heavy I'm considering the 7.3 gas because it's lighter. My hunting truck is a Mojave.
@@dantimber thanks! My wheels are I think 18’s. The tremor package includes big knobby 35s, so the rim is a little smaller than the other higher trims. I wouldn’t know if the HO feels more powerful than the other engines, but I imagine it would be apparent. I mean, 1200 ft lbs, for such a large vehicle it’s frighteningly quick. Really impressive. I would encourage you, even if you aren’t hauling regularly to stay away from the gas engine. Don’t get me wrong, we have an RV with that engine in it and it’s great, but I’m talking specifically about resale here. Fact is, a gas powered HD pickup’s resale value will drop like a rock compared to either diesel. Just something to consider.
@@dantimber I run 37 13.50 20 on my 6.7 powerstroke?? They are plenty smooth off road and on road.
Basically just personal preference it seems after watching this video. Both are great trucks.
If you're planning on keeping it for awhile, Ford's aluminum body is a major selling point. You wont have to worry about the body rusting out.
Guess you have never heard of electrolysis
@@ryangray715That’s a reach.
@@mr.wilson8340 oh yeah, go look at a cab of a 379 Peterbilt. My 2007 had electrolysis showing in a few places after 10 years or so. Aluminum cab with steel mirror brackets, rivets etc.
once fords aluminum bodied trucks hit 10-15 years old we shall see. Hopefully I am wrong but my wash habits are on point and I’m still dealing with it🤷🏻♂️
@@ryangray715 Over the road hauler vs. a pickup truck. 😂 An even bigger reach. Amusing though.
For me i don't buy trucks completely on looks and or fuel mileage it's capabilities is what i like, i hate to be pulling something needing a extra 100 or more lbs feet of torque and it's not there because i chose looks and fuel mileage over capability Superduty for me.
That is so dumb, all the HD diesel trucks on the market currently have more than enough torque to pull whatever it is you need it to. These are consumer pickups that practically have class 8 tractor power 😂 just admit that it’s to win the pissing contest, I would have much more respect for you 😂
I really don't give a fart what you think if it's not capable I don't won't it I'd rather have it than need it and need it and not have it's a man thing.
Both great trucks. I would not be able to decide easily.

Same thing like a house houses are investments and do they not require maintenance as well to retain their value come on now let’s be real. some cars if you do your research are investments The original 96 Mclaren F1 and 600k car back in 96 with a value of 20mill investment. 😁
Good review,straight shootn
Not really....higher trim, long bed, Optional HO motor....then complain about price??
I would really like a comparison of the F250 of MGP's with & without that air dam. Does it make a noticeable difference?
Should have checked DEF consumption as well. I've read from several different Outlets that the new high output Powerstroke sucks down DEF at an alarming rate. When you break it down at cost per mile along with the fuel mileage it makes the Ford more expensive to operate in the long-term.
Are you kidding? DEF is insanely cheap its basically irrelevant in the equation.
Very nice review. There are three things from your review that makes me prefer the Ford: fuel economy, the scale, the auto pilot feature on the hitching up. I’m really curious if you had invested a bit more energy on those two later features if your opinion might have changed a little. Now the wife will have the final say and I think she will agree with you, the less expensive is better option.
I know we have inflation but over a hundred thousand dollars for a truck really! I guess I’m showing my age I bought my first f250 with a straight 6 no bells and whistles for 8 grand. I own still my 2011 f250 bought new has 250 thousand miles lariat package and absolutely love this truck by far the best vehicle I ever owned. I do change the oil with mobile 1 every 3 k and did have to do some suspension work but my goodness this vehicle made a lot of money for me. I guess I’m going to have to weigh the options on a new one. I am definitely biased for the Ford though. Thanks for the video.
Great video 🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
For me and looking to keep a truck a long time I would go with the Ford!
Inventory, leather and price is why I selected a 2500HD LTZ. 2024.
Bought the F350 Tremor with a gas - no comparison engine wise between the Ford gas and the GM or Ram, also no comparison since neither Ram or GM offer an equivalent off-road package in the 3500, only in their 2500s. Still tows a ton with decent torque and way cheaper on gas than diesel, even with the difference in mpg.
F-250 Tremor and F-350 Tremor are I believe the same identical trucks, with the exception of the fender badging and payload stickers (I know the 4th Gen Super Duty is, maybe they changed something on the 5th Gen SD but I don't think so).
@@dundonrl if I wasn’t towing I’d buy a half ton. The suspension is different in the F350. The leaf spring pack is bigger and shocks tubes differently. The styling is identical, but payload makes a big difference especially when GM and Ram are already lower with Rebel and AT4x on a 2500 only.
My Chevrolet also sets the parking brake automatically when backing up to a trailer.
To be honest. I like both but prefer the Ford. But I went with the GMC. They are both capable, but thee (scale, on board power, better camera views and the information given in the cluster) beats GM. The GM trucks though with (auto 4x4, camera mirror, longer history with the Dmax and tail the tailgate). Again it a personal choice and if u want massaging seats (better than my GMC), and what you will do with them.
You and your father are really good at reviewing trucks. Thank you.
I know you have to be careful how you answer questions about vehicles and I know that you can alienate a manufacturer or dealer easily making your job much more difficult and costly. So far you guys have done a nice job straddling that
bob wire fence.
Any experience or statistics you have seen that is reputable on which HD truck will holds its resale value the best? That means more to buyers like me who trade in every 3-5 years. Reliability is also important as it helps make my living but I never drive more than 25,000 miles a year, and most are 12,000 because my wife and I usually drive her SUV on longer trips.
From the front, the Chevy is absolutely awesome looking. From the rear, the Chevy has the best tailgate by far. Even Fords new multi-function tailgate is lackluster in comparison.
Now, I actually prefer the ford interior for a few reasons, (1) the adjustable pedals and telescoping steering wheel. (2) the seats are more comfortable and I love the multi-contour full lay flat seats. I have a sleeping disorder and many days, I have to pull over suddenly and sleep for 10-15 minutes. (3) I really like the panoramic roof.
That blue on the ford is impressive matched with the limited interior. However I’ve seen this light grey/blue diamond pattern age very quickly. The ventilation holes catch a lot of stuff.
In 1979 my Dad bought a brand new ford F-350 at the Ford dealership in Roswell New Mexico. Actually my grandfather bought the truck as a gift to my dad. Anyway dad set down with what that dealership called fleet manager. He ordered all “special order” and all vehicles for the dealerships in stock vehicles. Dad picked out a light light powder blue with white running fore and aft in the middle of the truck. It had a medium and dark blue interior. It was a Crew Cab, long bed, 400 ci engine, 4:10 gears matted to a 4 speed manual transmission. It was the most loaded version available in 1979, and XLT “Lariat” with a rope symbol. The cost with tax, title and destination was $7990.99!!!!
At that time dad made about $30,000 a year and mom about $11,000 teaching.
Today that truck would be $86,000 or a factor of almost 11x. If our incomes kept up with the inflation on pickups.. I’d be making $330,000 $400,000 a year to have similar buying power.
It’s a shame the US and Canada have become socialistic welfare states. They’ve destroyed their currency forcing husbands and wives to work full time just to survive.
you dropped that multi pro gate abd i seen the hitch i literally cringed as i watched it go down. surprisingly it didnt hit it. my half ton gmc nails a hitch if i drop the gate like that.
I noticed that too. I guess that hitch got more drop then on half ton trucks
Both trucks are very nice, still not sure what I want to tow my Airstream.
Absolutely love my 24 AT4 8k miles of enjoyment
esas camionetas están preciosas, me gustan mucho sus videos son muy explícitos de cada producto que presentan.
Which is better for back seat comfort? Is the Ram Mega Cab with reclining rear seats the best for back seat passenger comfort?
First things first, I hope you didn't scratch or dent the tailgate on the Chevy. B&W makes a hitch now exclusively for the GM Multi Pro Tailgate. Your not really comparing apples to apples. That F250 is a long wheel base, I'm very surprised the payload capacity wasn't higher with the 8ft bed on the Ford. Personally a F250 LWB is very oddball. Your mostly likely going to get a F350 LWB long before you get a F250 LWB. Just my honest opinion but a F250 LWB is very rare here in Texas. Also, if the Ford was a SWB the fuel capacity would be the same.
I'm a Ford guy driving a GMC because I don't know why. Love your guys videos and hope you keep them coming. Cheers!
I’m going to be in the market soon for a new truck I always been a Chevy guy but I’m leaning to a ford now but ive always heard rams have the better engines when it comes to it so I’m going ford or ram now for a heavy duty
That's my same Chevy, except mine is a 3500!
Quick question for you..... What camera were you guys using on the front windshield for recording? Thank you in advance for letting me know!!!
Crazy the difference of opinion because when Ben hardy drives these trucks back to back he said it’s a perceivable and noticeable difference on how much more powerful the torquey the ford feels vs the Chevy and gmc
Boy those stacked headlights look like a copy and the steps on the bed also.😮
I like your comparison as always! But does the long bed add cost and how about the the HP on the regular output supper duty is it more than the HC. I do like the rear mirror camera.
I love both trucks. I can't feel which one I like the best. I don't afford that age gets a little bit.
Hello I think I wrote a bad Dodge it's a Bett.
The Chevy HD hp is rated 470 hp @ 975 ft lb while Ford SD is 475hp @ 1050 ft lb of torque
Can you grade roads with the valance on the Ford?
Nice trucks and cool technology but cant even imagine everything starts failing after the warranty is up 😂 and gotta replace the cluster or the big screen in the center 😅😅
I think a good comparison would be a platinum or king ranch, instead of the limited trim
Ford and Ram seem to have more comfortable seats over Chevy/GMC according to most reviews I've seen. Obviously, seat comfort is important but not a deciding factor when there's so many things to take into consideration. Just wondering why Chevy/GMC don't seem to get the seat comfort right, many reviews say they're too firm.
because firm seats are cheap. the denali ultimate has unique seat designs that are more in line with the ford and ram. Really sad you have to get a top trim gmc (not even an option on chevy) to get decent seats
How are firm seats cheaper? Many European cars have firmer seats, does that mean there cheaper to manufacture or is it a different feel there going for? Also how does longevity play into it? Most Lazyboy look and feeling seats turn to garbage after a few years.@@james2042
Comfort is #1 in a vehicle. Period.
Firm seats last longer
@forearmshiver2758 that's fine for the wt and mid trim models. If you're buying the luxury model the seat should be comfortable
Not testing the towing capacity at or near the limits was a real disservice to this video. I like your videos, very informative, but when trying to figure out what truck is best it impossible unless you push them.
That's where TFL Trucks with the Ike Gauntlet comes into play!
Great lookin vehicles that i can never afford lol. Back to my Tacoma. Yet my in law’s family in Texas drive these heavy duties.
Good video but I think the fords features are way better… I’d much rather have on board scales and the pro power on board than the camera in the mirror lol… having a built in inverter in the bed alone is a huge benefit/feature that is only available in the ford. Also the max recline seats are the best!
i've had a 2017 ram 1500 bighorn for almost 3 yrs. now i can say i hate the dial shifter, i'd rather the column shift, i still screw up sometime i think i put the ram in park and it's in reverse, i coasted into a steel and cement pillar in a parking lot thinking it was in reverse but in drive instead, other than that i love my ram, but i'm still a chevy guy at heart.
I use to be strickly Chevy guy. But wouldn't dare get one now. Has waaaaaay too many issues. Love my Ford F-250
Hey Stevie,kindly quote power & torque figures in Kw & Nm for us Zambians.please!
Good video. I'd take the Ford.
A longer bed cost a lil more also.
Underrated comment
Auto 4 wheel drive is a must for me.
yeah it sounds nice but when you look up the design it kinda turned me off. Its basically just a bunch of clutch packs that activate as needed. It works well on smaller but I think a hd truck needs a solid transfer case
@@454budman it sounds and is nice . At this point your going to have more problems with electronics in vehicles than an proven mechanical mechanism. I've had them on 4 of my Chevy's, 1 f150, and 2 Honda crvs.
I’ve been a Ford guy for years. Bought my first Chevy and my first diesel heavy duty. The reasons? Like you said. Capability and price. I’ll let you know how my journey goes with the Chevy.
You should have compared it to the FX4 package.
