Which is Better: the 2023 Ford Super Duty or GMC Sierra HD?
The 2023 Ford Super Duty is better than the GMC Sierra HD, due to its more powerful array of engines, and impressive towing capacity. The Super Duty is a much more powerful truck, and Ford built it with the intention of taking the top spot in its class. Ford did this by building the most powerful engines a Super Duty has yet seen. The most capable Ford F-350 can tow up to 40,000 pounds, while the GMC Sierra 3500HD can only tow up to 35,000 pounds. On the lower end, the Ford F-250 has not yet released its towing capability but we believe that it will also be able to out-tow its GMC peer. On top of having better towing capability and more powerful engines, the Ford Super Duty trucks also have more creature comforts, such as a larger infotainment display, and better tow packages, with a real time display of tips and how to handle the weight of the tow load.
What is the GMC equivalent to the Ford F-250?
The truck comparable to the Ford F-250 is the GMC 2500HD. These two trucks both start out the heavier duty segment for both car manufacturers. The F-250 can manage around 13,000 to 20,000 pounds, while the GMC 2500HD can tow up to 18,500 pounds on the gas side, and 20,000 pounds with their diesel engine. Both vehicles are highly capable and can make your work job that much easier.
Do GMC trucks outsell Ford trucks?
No GMC trucks do not outsell Ford Trucks, These numbers can be a little confusing, because oftentimes General Motors combines the truck sales of their two companies, Chevrolet and GMC, which together do outsell most of the market. However, individually their numbers do not hold to the best-selling truck line in America. Year after year Ford sells more trucks than any of its competitors, not just because of its legacy, but because of their continued devotion to building a truck that consumers want.
The Rundown
GMC and Ford heavy duty trucks have been competing for decades now, and 2023 is no exception. The F-series is not the best-selling truck line in America through some chance. The Ford Super Duty is continually one of the better trucks due to their innovation. While other trucks in the past may have had more powerful engines, Ford decided to make a truck that could not be outclassed. The 2023 Super Duty delivers the most powerful engine it has yet seen, the 6.7 liter Power Stroke diesel delivering 500hp! The Super Duty also has class leading power and towing. The GMC Sierra HD trucks are incredibly well designed, offer competitive prices and power. However, one of the main detractors of the Sierra is the fact that it is almost the same truck as the Silverado, with a Duromax diesel 6.6 liter engine that outputs only 445 hp. It comes with a higher asking price. For unique styling and power, we would go with the Ford Super Duty and its impressive power.
Summary
The 2023 Ford Super Duty is most definitely one of the best trucks to have made it onto the road. This hard working, heavy hauling workhorse is the best truck in its class, and because of this it outclasses the GMC Sierra 2500HD. The GMC Sierra, while still a great truck, does not afford the capability of the Ford Super Duty with its impressive towing capacity, payload capacity, and engine power. Its new engine offerings are top of the line and better than any Ford has seen yet. The Ford Super Duty is quite possibly one of the best vehicles yet to make it to the road, call us now to reserve yours and to see when we can get one to your job site.
