Comfort & Style: 2025 GMC Sierra HD
After last year’s mid-cycle refresh, the Sierra HD cabin puts a bigger emphasis on luxury — especially in higher trim models. Now, along with their roomy cabins and supportive seats, these heavy-duty trucks offer startling sophistication with available Paldao wood trim, microsuede headliner, and leather-wrapped accessories.
Although the new Super Duty trucks aren’t quite as opulent, they offer their own take on upscale cruising. Upper trim models are decked out in materials like carbon-fiber interior trim and two-tone leather upholstery. And just like the Sierra HD, Ford’s heavy-duty trucks are big on passenger space, with three available cabin options. Seats offer long-term support, and upper trim models add amenities like front-seat heating, ventilation, and massage.
Thanks to its exclusive tech features, the Super Duty takes an easy lead in this category. In addition to the usual items — like infotainment and driver safety aids — Ford’s heavy-duty truck offers a variety of systems designed to help you work in a safe environment. For instance, the Onboard Scales & Smart Hitch system estimate payload or trailer tongue weight to help you maintain workable numbers. The Pro Power Onboard system keeps your battery-powered gear fully charged and ready for action. And the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system helps you back a trailer exactly where you want it!
Like its Ford competitor, the new GMC Sierra HD comes standard with touchscreen infotainment, wireless smartphone integration, and some high-tech safety features. And while it doesn’t offer anything quite like Ford’s power generator or trailer-backup system, you can add upgrades like a 360-degree parking camera or wireless smartphone charging.
Best-in-Class Power & Performance: 2025 Ford Super Duty
When it’s time to get the job done, there’s no heavy-duty truck that does it quite like the Super Duty. These pickups offer four powerful engine options, appealing to a wider range of heavy-duty performance requirements. With the available high-output Power Stroke turbodiesel engine, the Super Duty generates best-in-class power (500 horses and 1,200 pound-feet of torque). Better still, you can build a Super Duty that can tow (up to 40,000 pounds) or haul (up to 8,000 pounds) best-in-class figures!
