Anyone who knows anything about pickup trucks understands just how competitive the market is right now, as each automaker continually tries to one-up the other with more power, better tech, and more impressive features. While Ford, with pickups like the 2021 Ford Super Duty, still represents the gold standard for pickups, we here at Bill Colwell Ford understand that models like the 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD can represent respectable competition. The following is a look at why the Ford model is still the superior option.
Towing and Payload
One way in which the 2021 Ford Super Duty F-250 is the superior option is in its towing and payload numbers. The Ford can tow up to 24,400 pounds with a conventional trailer hitch, but as much as 37,000 pounds with a fifth-wheel/gooseneck setup. In terms of payload capacity, the Ford F-250 tops out at an impressive 7,850 pounds. The GMC, by comparison, tows up to 18,500 pounds, and it can haul up to 3,979 pounds.
Range of High-End Options
While both pickups offer a range of trims to adhere to different needs and budgets, the Ford F-250 offers six trims (compared to five with the GMC Sierra 2500HD) and offers a much wider range in terms of prices and features. Its base level is very affordable, but there also are high-end Ford pickup models with elite interior materials and technological features that the GMC offering just doesn’t offer.
