The F-250 also carries 910 more pounds of payload, at 7,900 lbs versus the Silverado HD’s 6,990 lbs. This page breaks down every major category, with current inventory at Canton Ford.
The 2027 Ford Super Duty F-250 is the stronger choice for anyone whose work depends on maximum towing and hauling numbers. Its 23,000-lb tow rating and 7,900-lb payload both lead the 2027 Silverado 2500HD by a meaningful margin. The Silverado 2500HD counters with segment-first electric power steering and a larger standard touchscreen, making it the stronger pick for buyers who prioritize steering precision and in-cab technology over raw capability.

The F-250’s standard 7.3L V8 produces 430 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque. That edges the Silverado 2500HD’s enhanced 6.6L V8, which makes 412 hp and 472 lb-ft. Both trucks pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Ford using its TorqShift unit and the Silverado using the Allison 10-speed.
On the diesel side, the two trucks take different approaches. Ford carries over its proven 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel, which is covered under a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Chevrolet introduces an all-new 8.3L Duramax turbodiesel rated at 555 hp and 1,230 lb-ft of torque. Buyers chasing diesel horsepower numbers will find those figures notable. Buyers who need overall towing supremacy and long-term diesel reliability backing from a proven platform will find the Power Stroke warranty coverage equally significant.
The Silverado 2500HD adds segment-first rack-and-pinion electric power steering, which Chevy says reduces kickback off-road and sharpens on-center feel. The F-250 uses a traditional hydraulic-assisted system tuned for heavy-haul confidence. The Silverado also introduces an eBoost electronic braking system with 14.6-inch front rotors and four-piston front calipers for more consistent stopping under load. For the F-250, the TorqShift transmission pairs with a standard trailer brake controller across the lineup.
The F-250 seats up to 6 occupants and offers a 6.75-ft bed with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Trim levels from Lariat upward add a 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, wireless charging, and a B&O sound system.
King Ranch and Platinum trims bring Kingsville leather, a 12-inch instrument cluster, and power deployable running boards.
The 2027-exclusive Carhartt Package on XLT Crew Cab models wraps Carhartt-inspired cloth seats with triple-stitch construction, Carhartt door trim accents, a wrapped steering wheel, premium all-weather floor mats, and a Tough Bed spray-in bedliner with the Carhartt logo.
The Silverado 2500HD counters with a 13.4-inch touchscreen standard across its lineup and a 12.3-inch digital Driver Information Center. Chevrolet also includes its Multi-Flex tailgate for added bed-access flexibility, though specific bed dimensions are not in the provided specs. Interior premium content on High Country trims includes leather seating and wood-grain trim based on available imagery, though detailed interior specs were not confirmed in the competitor brief.
For buyers who spend long days working out of the bed, the F-250’s spray-in bedliner option and available Pro Power Onboard 2.0 kW system (Platinum standard) add practical day-to-day value.
Both trucks are equipped with capable standard safety suites. The F-250 includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (standard on XLT and above), Trailer Sway Control, Trailer Brake Controller, Rear View Camera, Rear Parking Sensors, and AdvanceTrac with RSC stability control.
King Ranch and above add Blind-Spot Information System with trailer coverage, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
The Silverado 2500HD makes Adaptive Cruise Control standard across all trims, which is a meaningful advantage for buyers who prioritize that feature at lower trim levels. It also bundles 8 years of OnStar Basics as standard. The Silverado’s 14 available camera views for trailering and hitching match well against the F-250’s 360-degree camera system (standard on Lariat and above) and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist (standard on King Ranch and above).
On infotainment, the Silverado’s 13.4-inch touchscreen is larger than the F-250’s 8-inch screen on XL and XLT, though the F-250 steps up to a 12-inch screen from Lariat onward. The F-250 holds the edge with a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot modem and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on every trim. The Silverado offers Google Gemini AI assistant and available Google built-in.
Ford backs the F-250’s gas powertrain with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The diesel engine receives a stronger 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is a material advantage for buyers planning high-mileage work use. Chevrolet has not yet published warranty specifics for the 2027 Silverado HD, as MSRP and full product details are listed as forthcoming.
The F-250 lineup spans XL through Platinum with well-defined standard content at each step. The 2027 Carhartt Package on XLT adds unique exterior graphics, 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, all-terrain tires, off-road running boards, and the full Carhartt interior treatment without requiring buyers to jump to Lariat or above. That positions it as a strong option for work-focused buyers who want a distinctive, durable truck at an XLT investment level.
The Silverado 2500HD’s six trims, from WT through High Country and ZR2, offer a comparable spread. The ZR2 brings 35-inch tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, a rear e-locker, and aluminum skid plates as its off-road package. The F-250’s equivalent off-road offering includes the FX4 Off-Road Package, which is also available with the Carhartt Package.
Your work requires the highest tow and payload ratings in the segment. The 23,000-lb tow rating and 7,900-lb payload lead the class in this comparison by a clear margin. The diesel powertrain warranty at 5 years/100,000 miles adds long-term ownership confidence for high-use buyers. The Carhartt Package is the right call for buyers who want a personalized, work-ready truck without stepping past XLT. Buyers in Canton, TX who want to spec a King Ranch or Platinum will find Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Head-Up Display, and Pro Power Onboard on board as standard features at those trims.
Rack-and-pinion electric power steering, standard Adaptive Cruise Control, and the available 8.3L Duramax diesel’s 555-hp output are priorities. Buyers who want the most diesel horsepower available in the segment or who prefer a larger standard touchscreen at every trim level will find the Silverado HD a strong option. The ZR2’s Terrain Mode one-pedal off-road control is also a unique capability not available on the F-250.
Canton Ford stocks the 2027 Super Duty F-250 across multiple trims, including XLT models eligible for the Carhartt Package. Whether you need a capable XL for straightforward work or a Platinum with Pro Power Onboard for full-featured comfort, the inventory at Canton Ford covers the lineup. Customers from Canton and across East Texas can view available trucks, compare trims, and get into the driver’s seat at Canton Ford.
The 2027 Ford F-250 tows more. Its maximum towing capacity of 23,000 lbs exceeds the Silverado 2500HD’s 19,000-lb rating by 4,000 lbs on gas-engine configurations.
The 2027 Ford F-250 carries the higher payload rating at 7,900 lbs. The 2027 Silverado 2500HD is rated at 6,990 lbs, putting the F-250 ahead by 910 lbs.
Yes. The 2027 Silverado 2500HD’s available 8.3L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 produces 555 hp and 1,230 lb-ft of torque. The 2027 F-250’s available 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel produces 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. That gives the Silverado 2500HD a 55-hp and 30-lb-ft advantage.
The Carhartt Package is a new available option for the 2027 F-250 XLT Crew Cab single-rear-wheel 4×4. It includes Carhartt-inspired cloth seats with triple-stitch construction, a dark-painted grille, 20-inch machined and painted wheels, LT275/65R20E all-terrain tires, a Tough Bed spray-in bedliner with Carhartt logo, off-road running boards, and premium all-weather floor mats. It is available to order starting May 8, 2027, and arrives in Fall 2026.
Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every 2027 F-250 trim, from XL through Platinum.
Ford covers the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel with a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The gas powertrain is covered for 5 years/60,000 miles. Both include the 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty.
Chevrolet has stated the 2027 Silverado HD is expected to arrive at U.S. dealers beginning late 2026. Pricing has not been announced. The 2027 Ford Super Duty F-250 is available now at Canton Ford.
