Proven Power: Ford’s Engine Lineup Sets the Standard
Ford doesn’t just build engines — it builds legends. The 2025 Super Duty lineup offers a suite of powertrains that dominate the jobsite and highway alike:
-
6.8L Gas V8: 405 horsepower / 445 lb-ft of torque
-
7.3L “Godzilla” V8: 430 horsepower / 485 lb-ft of torque
-
6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel: 475 horsepower / 1,050 lb-ft of torque
-
High-Output Power Stroke® Diesel: 500 horsepower / 1,200 lb-ft of torque
Compare that to:
-
GMC Sierra HD / Chevy Silverado HD: Max 470 horsepower / 975 lb-ft (6.6L Duramax Diesel)
-
RAM Heavy Duty: Max 420 horsepower / 1,075 lb-ft (6.7L Cummins HO Diesel)
Ford’s class-leading 1,200 lb-ft of torque gives it the pulling power to handle the toughest commercial and recreational loads. Whether you’re towing heavy machinery or hauling a fifth wheel through the Ozarks, the Super Duty has the muscle to do it confidently.
Best-in-Class Towing and Payload: Built for Real Work
When Ford engineers say “Super Duty,” they mean it. Depending on configuration, the F-450 can tow up to 40,000 pounds and carry a payload over 8,000 pounds. These numbers aren’t marketing fluff — they’re tested, validated, and trusted by professionals nationwide.
By contrast:
-
RAM 3500: Tows up to 37,090 lbs
-
Chevy Silverado 3500 HD: Tows up to 36,000 lbs
-
GMC Sierra 3500 HD: Tows up to 36,000 lbs
The Super Duty’s fully boxed steel frame, stronger axles, and 10-speed TorqShift® automatic transmission give Ford an edge in both capability and control. It’s engineered not just for brute strength, but for dependable performance mile after mile.
Technology That Works Harder — and Smarter
Ford doesn’t just lead in strength; it leads in intelligence. Every Super Duty is equipped with purpose-built technology that makes towing, hauling, and driving safer and easier than ever.
Key Innovations:
-
Pro Trailer Hitch Assist: Automatically aligns hitch and trailer.
-
Pro Power Onboard: Up to 2.0 kW of power to run tools or campsite gear directly from your truck.
-
Smart Hitch & Onboard Scales: Measure tongue weight and load balance right from the dash.
-
360-Degree Trailer Camera System: Gives visibility around the truck and trailer for precision backing.
-
SYNC® 4 with 12-inch Touchscreen: Intuitive, fast, and voice-activated with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
While competitors like the Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD offer trailering tech, Ford’s systems are more seamlessly integrated — requiring fewer manual setups and offering more real-time data. RAM’s Uconnect® interface is polished but lacks the full suite of Ford’s smart-work features.
Built Ford Tough: Materials, Design, and Durability
The Super Duty isn’t just about numbers — it’s about lasting toughness. Ford’s military-grade aluminum-alloy body reduces weight without sacrificing strength, while the high-strength steel frame underneath ensures rigidity under extreme loads.
Chevrolet and GMC still rely on heavier steel bodies, which can lead to rust and reduced fuel efficiency over time. RAM’s design is solid but hasn’t kept up with Ford’s modern materials technology.
Ford’s use of corrosion-resistant aluminum, paired with over 20 million miles of durability testing, ensures that the Super Duty will outlast its rivals where it matters most — in the long haul.
Interior and Comfort: Refined Strength
Inside, the Super Duty proves that capability and comfort can coexist. Designed with both work and relaxation in mind, the cabin features:
-
Available Max Recline Seats (nearly flat for rest breaks)
-
Large digital instrument cluster and configurable displays
-
Heated, ventilated leather seating
-
Premium B&O® Sound System
-
Wireless charging and multiple USB-C ports
The Silverado and Sierra offer plush Denali and High Country trims, but Ford’s King Ranch®, Platinum, and Limited models deliver superior craftsmanship, quieter cabins, and a more functional layout. RAM’s interiors are competitive, yet Ford’s combination of ergonomics and durability gives it the win for those who actually use their trucks daily.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Ford equips every Super Duty with available Ford Co-Pilot360™ technologies, including:
-
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
-
Lane-Keeping System
-
Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage
-
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
GMC and Chevy offer similar safety systems but lag behind in trailer integration and interface simplicity. RAM’s suite is solid, but its adaptive towing safety tech isn’t as comprehensive.
Ownership, Service, and Value
Buying a Super Duty means joining the F-Series legacy — America’s best-selling truck line for over 45 years. Ford’s commitment to long-term value is unmatched, with strong resale performance and low total cost of ownership.
At Chuck Anderson Ford, our certified service team helps you maintain that value through expert maintenance, genuine OEM parts, and custom upfitting for work or recreation.
