2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD vs 2022 Ford Super Duty: Battle of the Titans

In the HD pickup category, the players are few and far between, but the competition between them couldn't be stronger. The segment's two sworn enemies, Ford and Chevrolet, are in a fierce battle for the title of best truck in the segment.

The war is going on at all levels, from design, to interior design, to luxury, to technology, and of course, to capability. In this respect, it's often a war of numbers.

So how do you decide which vehicle is best for you? Here are some thoughts that might help.

Capabilities

Let's get the capability aspect out of the way. In the old days, you could find an important reason to choose one model over another if it offered, for example, 7,000 pounds of towing capacity instead of 6,000. But that's not where we are today. With capacities well over 30,000 pounds in both cases, both vehicles are capable. And the manufacturers are capable of some impressive numbers battles. Be sure of one thing; you'll be able to tow anything with your 2023 GMC Sierra HD.

Better yet, it offers you more great features FOR towing.

The Cameras

With the GMC Sierra HD, you get an impressive camera system to help with all facets of towing. Of course, there are cameras to assist us with the securing of our trailer, but there are also cameras that show us the sides of the trailer when driving in areas where space is limited. And, the icing on the cake, it is the one that films what is behind the trailer. So, from the inside, you can see the traffic that would normally be hidden from you by the trailer. An ingenious and safe trick.

Combination of engine and transmission.

Both General Motors and Ford offer a competent diesel powertrain with their HD trucks. However, it's impossible to find a better combination than the Duramax engine and the Allison transmission. Together, the two work like twins, in perfect symbiosis. You only have to do some towing with a GMC model to understand how much more reassuring its work is than that of competing models. That's fine with Ford, but it's more convincing with GMC.

In fact, if you look at all the features of the model, you'll find this kind of small advantage everywhere. It's no coincidence that the fastest growing truck brand is GMC.

Come see the difference.
