As heavy-duty pickup trucks, both the 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the 2022 Ford F-250 offer some incredible performance equipment and capabilities. Both models offer a variety of engine options, including powerful V8 configurations as well as turbo-diesel options.
The Chevy Silverado comes standard with a powerful 6.6L V8 gas engine, giving drivers up to 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, providing a smooth ride.
While the standard engine on the Ford F-250 is an impressive 6.2L V8 engine, it only achieves up to 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
Additionally, both models offer a powertrain option that makes more than 900 lb-ft of torque, making it possible to tow more than a whopping 18,000 pounds of trailer weight when properly equipped.
When it comes to standard capabilities, though, the Silverado 2500 takes the cake. With its standard equipment and powertrain, this model can tow up to 14,500 pounds, while the F-250 can only handle 13,300 pounds of trailer weight with its standard equipment.
Power may be the first thing you think about when you choose a truck, but it’s just one aspect of your next vehicle. Another important category is the interior. How much room will your passengers have to stretch out, and how comfortable is the cabin?
Both the 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the 2022 Ford F-250 offer three cab options, including a cab that can seat up to six passengers. However, you’ll find the Silverado 2500 caters to the comfort of all passengers, while the F-250 lags behind:
Silverado 2500 |

|
F-250
|
|---|---|---|
| 44.53 inches | Front Legroom (Crew Cab) | 43.9 inches |
| 43.03 inches | Front Headroom (Crew Cab) | 40.8 inches |
While dimensions are important, you’ll also want to keep an eye on the amazing interior features available in these cabins. Both models are available with heated and ventilated front seats so you can ensure comfort year-round. In addition, you can equip dual-zone climate control on both the Chevy Silverado 2500 and the Ford F-250.
However, only the Chevy Silverado 2500 has an available 10-way power driver seat with lumbar. So, if you want to maximize your comfort, the choice is clear.
Inside the 2022 Silverado 2500, you’ll find much more than just six spacious seats and plenty of comfort features. You’ll also find an array of top-of-the-line technology features. Both the Ford and the Chevy models have a lot to offer in this category.
Let’s start with the standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, which has all kinds of features, including Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and even an available Wi-Fi® hotspot.
The 2022 Ford F-250 has a lot of the same features with its SYNC® system so you can enjoy your drive. Both models can be equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen, making it easy to pull up your music and follow directions from the optional navigation systems.
The Silverado 2500 doesn’t stop there, though. This model can also be equipped with an optional Rear Camera Mirror. This feature transforms your traditional rear-view mirror into a digital camera display that shows a live feed of what’s going on behind your pickup, enhancing your visibility on the go.
With the F-250, you won’t have the option to add the Rear Camera Mirror, as Ford does not offer a feature like this.
