2025 GMC Sierra 2500 vs 2025 Ford F-250

Towing is only part of it. The 2025 Sierra 2500 HD and F-250 may be neck-and-neck in power and hauling capacities, but GMC knows how to whip up a truck that's easy and comfortable to use on top of it. That's why the newest GMC Sierra 2500 gets our vote, and why it's a popular choice among truck lovers in Millersburg who know their stuff.

Performance

401 ponies and 464 lb-ft of torque. That's what you get standard in the 2025 Sierra 2500, along with an Allison 10-speed auto. You can ramp up the power to 470 HP and a high 975 lb-ft of torque by upgrading to the groundbreaking 6.6L DURAMAX Turbo-Diesel engine. This one is a hot topic in Millersburg's trucking nation, and it's easy to see why. The Sierra 2500 can reach a high towing capacity of 36,000 pounds, which, undoubtedly, will be plenty for almost any given situation. Other available upgrades and enhancements for the 2025 Sierra 2500 include:

Multimatic DSSV dampers
Traction Select System with Tow/Haul mode
Rear electronic-locking differential
X31 off-road package with twin-tube Rancho shocks and skid plates

While the Sierra 2500 comes in a nice, easy package, Ford overcomplicated the F-250 with more powertrain variations than we can count on our hands. Shifting through the sea of options (many of them identical) can make it difficult to find what you're looking for, so we'll highlight the most common details. The F-250's standard engine can put out 405 horsepower, which is close to what the Sierra 2500's standard engine can make. Towing capacities between the two competitors are pretty similar, with minor discrepancies. One of the only notable upgrades you can opt for is the Trailer Brake Controller.

Safety Features

Between off-roading and using your truck for DIY or professional work, safety is as critical as ever when operating a heavy-duty truck. GMC takes your safety seriously with a solid package of standard features and available support for increased proactive awareness. The 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 is the perfect match for Canton drivers with its Sierra HD Pro Safety package that includes:

Forward Collision Alert
Following Distance Indicator
Front Pedestrian Braking
IntelliBeam
Lane Departure Warning
Buckle to Drive
Automatic Emergency Braking

The Sierra 2500 can be made more tow-friendly with thoughtful add-ons like available Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering, a Rear Camera Mirror, and up to 14 camera views, including HD Surround Vision and Transparent Trailer View. Every need has been considered and answered with these select upgrades in the new Sierra 2500.

For the 2025 Ford F-250, there are fewer popular upgrades outside of the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 safety package. F-250 owners can add auto high beams (which is typically a standard feature in other vehicles) and trailer tow mirrors. These mirrors still require much work from the naked eye, whereas live video and advanced sensors can help you react more quickly.

Interior

Comfort is the 2025 Sierra 2500's strong suit, and where we find the most pleasure in a heavy-duty pickup. Driver and front passenger bucket seats are both capable of supporting luxury features like heating, ventilation, massaging, and 16-way power adjustments with lumbar support. By adding soft perforated leather as the finishing touch, GMC has effortlessly elevated this heavy-duty truck to high-end territory. Choose how you drive in style with these available interior themes for the Sierra 2500 in Millersburg:

Exclusive Jet Black interior with Kalahari accents
Denali exclusives like authentic open-pore wood paneling and patterned aluminum accents
Obsidian Rush styling with technical-grain leather and Vanta ash wood
Alpine Umber interior elements like full-grain leather and authentic open-pore Paldao wood

When it comes to cabin design and amenities, the Ford F-250 falls short in almost every regard. The infotainment screen can only stretch out to a 12-inch display, while the Sierra 2500 offers an optional 13.4-inch infotainment screen. You already know that the Sierra 2500 supports up to 16-way power seating adjustments, but the F-250 only offers half as many. And while the F-250 only offers a single unique interior theme, the Sierra 2500 comes in a handful of options for more ways to customize your ride.
