Choosing a heavy-duty truck is a big decision, especially when you want something that can handle real work and tough weather in Edmonton. The 2025 Ford F-350 and the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD are two strong choices. But when you look closer, it becomes clear that the Ford F-350 has the edge where it matters most. From bigger power to smarter features, the F-350 feels ready for anything. Let’s see why it stands out for drivers who expect more from their truck.
Built Strong for Edmonton’s Toughest Days
The 2025 Ford F-350 is made for hard work across Alberta. Whether you are towing heavy loads or driving through rough winters, this truck is built to handle it all. Ford gives you more choices too, with Regular, Super Cab, and Super Crew options, plus 4x2 or 4x4 setups. The Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD also offers strong builds, but its design changes for 2025 are smaller. Ford’s updates feel fresher and more focused on what real working drivers need.
Power That Works Smarter and Harder
When it comes to engines, the Ford F-350 gives you more strength and better options. You can pick from a 6.8-litre V8, a powerful 7.3-litre V8, or go diesel with a 6.7-litre Power Stroke V8. And if you really need the big numbers, Ford’s high-output diesel makes up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. The Silverado 3500HD starts strong too, but its diesel option peaks at 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. For serious towing, Ford gives you more muscle where it counts.
Towing That Leaves No Doubts
In Alberta, towing matters. The Ford F-350 with dual rear wheels can pull up to 35,000 pounds with a gooseneck setup. Conventional towing can reach up to 24,000 pounds. While the Silverado 3500HD offers a solid towing capacity too, it tops out slightly higher at 36,000 pounds only with very specific configurations. Most everyday setups for Ford are more flexible and easier for daily heavy work.
Smart Tech That Has Your Back
Ford’s technology in the F-350 feels built around real life. You get helpful tools like Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Onboard Scales, and the new 2-kW Pro Power Onboard system to power tools or gear wherever you go. The new camera on the tailgate even works with the gate down, making tricky jobs easier. Chevrolet adds good trailer tech too, but Ford stays one step ahead by making these features easier to use, even when you are wearing gloves out in the cold.
Interiors That Keep You Going
Inside the Ford F-350, you find comfort built for working days. You can choose simple and strong vinyl or go full luxury with ventilated, massaging leather seats. There is even a front console work table for when you need to get paperwork done on site. The Silverado 3500HD’s High Country trim is comfortable too, but overall, its interior still feels a little behind Ford’s best trims. Ford’s use of smart storage and better touchscreen layouts makes life easier when you are busy.
A Truck You Can Trust on Any Road
The 2025 Ford F-350 earned top marks for dependability in J.D. Power studies for heavy-duty trucks. Chevrolet’s Silverado 3500HD ranked well too but came in behind Ford. When the job is tough and the weather is worse, Ford’s proven track record makes a real difference.
