When it comes to getting your work done right, it's important to have the best equipment for the job; and if the job requires massive towing and hauling, the best tool you can have is a vehicle that is up to the challenge. That means a pickup truck with plenty of power to get you where you need to go, and more than enough capability to take on any task you throw at it. However, with so many full-size, heavy duty trucks to choose from, how do you know which truck is the one for you?

The 2017 Ford-F250 Super Duty Pulls Ahead of the Competition

There's no denying that the Ram 2500 and Ford F-250 are strong players, coming stock with copious amounts of performance, utility, and even some rugged styling, but even from the start, it was clear that one truck outshone the other. The 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty pulled ahead of the race in both the gas and diesel category, with a bigger gas engine and amazingly powerful diesel engine. Boasting 385 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. or torque, the F-250's standard V8 engine delivered a lot more muscle than the Ram's HEMI® V8, which was only able to churn out 350 horsepower. Similarly, the Ford's impressive 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine outpaced Ram's Turbo Diesel I6 engine by a significant lead. And when it came down to it, the Super Duty offers almost 10,000 lbs. more in standard towing capacity, and more than double the maximum payload of the Ram 2500.
