Ford F-250 vs Chevy Silverado 2500: Specs
When it comes to powering your pickup, you have options. You can equip the 2020 F-250 and Silverado 2500 with either a gas or turbo diesel engine.
The Ford truck offers two gas engines and a turbo diesel for a total of three options, while the Chevy has one of each for a total of two. In both trucks, you’ll see the best output when you pick the diesel engine. In the Ford F-250 equipped with a Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel, expect a whopping 1,050 lb-ft of torque.
The turbo-diesel-equipped Chevy Silverado also promises explosive torque, but it falls short of the Ford F-250. Expect just 910 lb-ft of torque when you choose this Silverado 2500 configuration.
More Torque? Get Better Towing Capacity
The Ford F-250 and Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are powerful towing machines. However, the F-250’s huge advantage in available torque translates to a similar advantage in towing.
Torque provides better power at lower speeds, helping you get moving even with a heavy trailer in tow. The Ford F-250 can tow up to 20,000 pounds conventionally with that Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8. If you choose the Chevy Silverado 2500, your towing capacity will max out at 18,500 pounds.
The F-250 also offers unique towing safety features you won’t find on the Silverado 2500. These include available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, which lets you synchronize your truck and trailer simply by turning a knob. Reverse with more confidence in the Ford pickup truck!
F-250 vs Silverado 2500: Built Ford Tough®
While the 2020 F-250 and Silverado stand out for their muscle, only one is Built Ford Tough®. That’s far more than a slogan—it’s an indication of durability today and for the long haul.
The Ford F-250 is the first and only truck in its class with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body. This lightweight body helps the vehicle save weight for where it’s needed most: a frame made of more than 95 percent high-strength steel.
The F-250’s aluminum alloy body is more resistant to dents and dings, and it isn’t subject to rust. In the Silverado 2500, you’ll have a traditional steel body that cannot claim the same advantages.

Are you ready to hit the roads of Salisbury and Mooresville for a more productive day? The 2020 Ford F-250 and Chevy Silverado 2500 can help you do it—but first you must choose between the two.
