2027 Ford F-250 Super Duty vs. the Competition Side-by-Side
For the last 49 years, the best-selling family of trucks in the US has been the Ford F-Series. When shopping for a heavy-duty pickup, the F-250 Super Duty is a natural choice to be at the top of your list. But a conscientious shopper would still wonder what it is that makes the Super Duty such a popular choice and how it stacks up to the competition. That’s why our team at Sarchione Ford of Randolph has put together this guide, so you can see just why the F-250 Super Duty is such a smart choice.
Ford F-250 VS The Competition - By The Numbers
| 2027 Ford F-250 Super Duty | 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD | 2027 Ram 2500 | |
| Starting MSRP* | $45,975 | $45,900 | $46,855 |
| Max Available Horsepower | 500 ✓ | 470 | 430 |
| Max Available Torque | 1,200 lb-ft ✓ | 975 lb-ft | 1,075 lb-ft |
| Max Towing | 22,000 pounds ✓ | 20,000 pounds | 17,740 pounds |
| Max Payload | 4,175 pounds | 3,926 pounds | 4,580 pounds |
The chart above clearly demonstrates that the Ford F-250 Super Duty gives you more of everything that you want in a heavy-duty pickup – more power and more capability. Even though a couple of the competing trucks aren’t too far behind in towing or payload capacity, they are lower on power to the point where they’ll struggle more hauling the same weight. Making it even easier to handle heavy payloads or towing is the 10-speed automatic transmission of the Ford F-250 Super Duty. While the Silverado 2500 HD also has a 10-speed transmission, the Ram 2500 has to make do with just 8 speeds.

J.D. Power has long been a trusted and important data aggregator in the automotive world, as its exhaustive research tells us a lot about how vehicles work in the real world. One thing that certainly works is the Ford Super Duty, which claimed the title of #1 Heavy-Duty Truck for New-Vehicle Quality. Capability is certainly important, but a truck that’s ready to work when you are is also hugely important, and that truck is the Ford Super Duty.
Incredible Tech
The Ford F-250 Super Duty doesn’t just handle tough jobs with ease; it also makes those jobs easier on you. That’s thanks to tech features like available built-in bed scales that not only make sure you’re not overloading the truck, but also help make sure the weight of your cargo is evenly distributed and won’t create a problem while driving. Ford pioneered the “tailgate down camera,” a backup camera that is still usable while the tailgate is down, a position that points the backup camera straight at the ground on competing trucks. The SYNC® 4 infotainment system has a 12-inch touchscreen that makes navigating easy and the Trailer Navigation System plans routes that avoid sharp turns and low bridges so that unforeseen circumstances don’t leave you stuck.
