When the day calls for tough work, no other vehicle can handle it quite like a pickup, and when you're shopping for your next capable, strong, and high-performing truck, two models come to mind. The GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the Ford F-250 are two heavy-duty haulers, ultimate workmates, and devoted travel companions that have been paving the way for decades. These two automakers have gone head to head for over a century, and when it comes to designing pickup trucks built for more, both brands knock it out of the park. So, can GMC outperform Ford in the areas of capabilities, design, and technology, and which truck is better suited to meet your needs when those needs are more robust than a typical truck can handle? Comparing the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD vs 2022 Ford F-250, only one truck will be able to tackle the most cumbersome loads while offering intense style and unmatched technology enhancements, so read on to see which truck comes out on top.
Not every pickup truck was built for serious work, and when your workday demands more power, better performance, and more capabilities, the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the 2022 Ford F-250 can certainly deliver. Although both strong trucks exhibit durability and a talent for outperforming their competitors, one truck just does it better. Discover which truck is the ultimate performer when it comes to intense capabilities.
In order to complete some of the most daunting tasks, you need power, which ultimately comes from the powertrain you choose in your truck. The 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD is armed with a selection of powertrains that won't disappoint, like its standard 6.6L V8 paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission or its available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8, combined with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. The latter packs more power, providing the Sierra 2500 HD with an impressive 445 horsepower and an astounding 910 lb-ft of torque, enough to help you power through the toughest of tasks. Opt for the turbo-diesel when you need to tow heavy loads, with a maximum towing capacity of 18,510 lbs and a payload rating of 3,715 lbs, meaning that when you need to tow or haul, the Sierra 2500 HD has your back.
Ford has been designing trucks for a long time as well, so how does its F-250 compare to the remarkable Sierra 2500 HD? Armed with a number of powertrains, the F-250 can hold its own on the jobsite and beyond. However, you will have to pay more for one of the available engine options. The base engine in the 2022 F-250 is a slightly underpowered 6.2L V8 that only provides 15,800 lbs of towing. It's also important to note that drivers have reported that the F-250 is incredibly rough on the road with awkward handling and lackluster driving dynamics, especially when traveling at high speeds.
When it comes to a pickup, there are a lot of factors to consider, especially when you're looking at a heavy-duty model. Even though the optional engines for the F-250 do have slightly more power than the Sierra 2500 HD, that's not enough to convince us that it's better, especially when you take into account that your ride will most likely be rougher than you'd prefer. For this reason, we choose the Sierra 2500 as our winner. Not only can you expect to enjoy superior power, but you'll also enjoy the ride, no matter where you're traveling.
Not only will you want a pickup truck that can handle the work that you toss its way, but you'll also want a truck that delivers a design that's not only comfortable but extremely functional. Few trucks can compare to the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, especially when you opt for its high-end Denali trim, but the 2022 Ford F-250 is ready to give it a try. See which truck showcases an all-around better design from the inside out.
The GMC Sierra 2500 HD isn't just exceptionally easy on the eyes, it's filled with must-have features, designed to make your workday, weekend adventures, and everyday travels better. Its available six-function MultiPro tailgate, a world's first, is perhaps what sets this truck apart from the rest, offering you a variety of ways to configure the tailgate to maximize your day. Opt to turn it into a step, work desk, or handle difficult loads with ease, and with a best-in-class cargo bed volume of 83.5 cu. ft. in its long bed option, tackling more tasks is a breeze in the Sierra 2500 HD. Moving inside, you'll get to enjoy beautiful appointments, especially when you choose the luxurious Denali model, which features open-pore ash wood, perforated leather seating materials, heated and ventilated front bucket seats, and many more lavish enhancements throughout. Plus, with class-leading front headroom and legroom in its crew cab, getting comfortable inside the Sierra 2500 HD is effortless.
Few trucks can compare to GMC's arsenal, especially when it comes to style, and when you take a closer look at the F-250, you'll be left wanting more. Drivers report that even its highest level trims don't hold a candle to other offerings on the road, lacking design elements and comfort, which leaves us a bit disappointed. You also won't find the amount of space in the F-250 either, with its largest bed option only offering a maximum cargo volume of 78.5 cu. ft. You will be able to enjoy nicer appointments as you make your way up the trim levels, like leather-trimmed seating materials, ambient lighting, and massaging seats. If you're looking for something like the MultiPro tailgate, however, you won't find it included with the F-250.
It's true; nothing quite comes close to the style and function you'll find in the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. With pristine features, especially when choosing its elegant Denali trim, as well as a layout that emanates productivity, the Sierra 2500 HD blasts past most of its competition easily. The F-250 just doesn't offer as many design elements to provide ultimate comfort inside. It also doesn't offer as much space as the Sierra 2500 HD, and the absence of the configurable tailgate, in our opinion, solidifies our answer. There's nothing that can beat the GMC Sierra 2500 HD when it comes to design.
Shopping for a pickup truck, you know that you're looking for intense capabilities, as well as a design that's ideal for your travels, but what about technology? Pickup trucks need to offer drivers more than just infotainment features. They need to be able to deliver more helpful towing tech, driver-assist features, and more, and both the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the 2022 Ford F-250 do just that. Explore the innovation that lies within each of these esteemed trucks.
Your day may include everything from towing a heavy load to navigating unfamiliar territories, and the technology that resides in your vehicle matters more than you may realize. Take the Sierra 2500 HD, for example, as it showcases an arsenal of tech designed for a better experience behind the wheel, including an available HD Head-Up Display, a first in its class, and a Rear Camera Mirror. Not only are you more aware of pertinent information, like navigation prompts, speed limits, and other crucial details, you're able to have better visibility behind you, which is especially convenient when towing. Speaking of towing, you'll find an abundance of helpful towing tech, including up to 15 camera views, HD Surround Vision, and the ProGrade Trailering System. With an available in-vehicle trailering app, you're able to set up unique trailer profiles, control your trailer, and enhance safety on the road.
You'll find a number of helpful tech features in the 2022 Ford F-250 as well, including Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which provides enhanced control and confidence when backing up with your trailer, and a Blind Spot Information System for better visibility in your blind spots. A Rear View Camera also comes in handy, providing better views behind your truck, and Hill Descent Control allows for a more secure ride when navigating steep terrain. With many comparable features to the Sierra 2500 HD, you can expect a controlled and focused ride when you're traveling in the F-250.
Although you'll be able to find some of the same tech features in the F-250 as you would in GMC's model, remember that most of these features were first found in the Sierra 2500 HD. With many industry-first and world's first accolades, the Sierra 2500 HD has paved the way for other models to follow suit. That's why our winner is the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD when it comes to legendary tech that goes above and beyond, bringing safety and assurance to any drive.
