Heavy Duty Diesel Truck Showdown: Ford F-350 Power Stroke vs Chevy Silverado Duramax

Heavy-duty pickup trucks like the Ford F-350 Power Stroke and the Chevy Silverado 3500 Duramax are two impressive models. These diesel-powered workhorses offer solid towing and hauling capabilities and rugged durability making them perfect on an off the road for many Boise residents. However, when we compare the F-350 Power Stroke and Silverado Duramax head-to-head, it's clear the F-350 emerges as the clear winner, so let's find out why.

Performance

The Ford F-350 is powered by an impressive 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engine, which delivers an unmatched combination of power and performance for Twin Falls residents. The F-350 Power Stroke outputs 475 horsepower and a massive 1,050 lb.-ft of torque, surpassing the Silverado's Duramax 6.6-liter V8 Turbo Diesel, which produces 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft of torque.

Advanced Technologies

The F-350 Power Stroke is designed to enhance performance, safety, and convenience for Sun Valley and Blackfoot drivers. It offers features like a 10-speed automatic transmission, as well as the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist system that makes maneuvering with a trailer a breeze.

The F-350 also boasts the exclusive Live-Drive Power Takeoff Provision, which allows you to power upfit equipment and keep working even when the truck is in motion. If you're looking to pick up a new Super Duty.

While the Silverado Duramax offers its own array of technologies, such as the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission and various camera views, it can't quite match the F-350's cutting-edge features.

Off-Road Prowess

The Ford F-350 Power Stroke is ready to conquer any terrain when the job takes you off the beaten path. The available Tremor Off-Road Package transforms the F-350 into an off-road beast, with features like a front-end lift, off-road-tuned suspension, and 35-inch all-terrain tires. The package also includes a Rock Crawl mode, which optimizes the truck's performance for navigating challenging terrains like those found in the mountains near Boise.

While the Silverado 3500 offers the Z71 Off-Road Package, it doesn't match the F-350's off-road capabilities. The F-350's higher ground clearance, better approach and departure angles, and more advanced 4x4 system give it the edge when tackling more rugged landscapes.

Best-in-Class Towing and Hauling

The Ford F-350 Power Stroke is the undisputed leader when it comes to towing and hauling. With a maximum payload capacity of 7,850 pounds, the F-350 can handle even the heaviest loads with ease, outperforming the Silverado's max payload of 7,442 pounds.

With the available Power Stroke powertrain, the F-350 delivers staggering towing performance, even on steep grades you might encounter near Ketchum. The F-350's 37,000-pound towing capacity means you can tackle any jobs with confidence, whether you're hauling construction materials to a site in Burley or towing a heavy equipment trailer around Pocatello.

While the Silverado 3500 Duramax is a capable truck in its own right with a 7,234-lb. payload capacity and 36,000-pound tow rating, it simply can't match the F-350's superior towing and hauling numbers. The Duramax diesel engine provides plenty of torque, but the F-350's Power Stroke V8 delivers more power overall, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty towing and hauling.
