Trucks like the Ford F-350 and the Chevy Silverado 3500 are known for their power. The 2023 F-350 has three options for you to choose from, while the Chevy Silverado 3500 has two. Let’s start off by talking about the three engines you can find on the Ford:

• 7.3-liter V8 engine: 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque
• 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine: 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque
• 6.7-liter High Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine: 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque

With up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque, you can head to any worksite with confidence when you’re behind the wheel of the 2023 Ford F-350. As for the Chevy, you’ll max out with the available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 engine.

While impressive, it falls behind with just 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque.

When it comes to cargo, you’ll find several ways to bring along your supplies. For starters, you can use the hitch on either of these models to attach a trailer. You can also load supplies onto the truck bed, if that’s more convenient.

Both the 2023 Ford F-350 and the Chevy Silverado 3500 offer more than 32,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, which will be more than enough for large trailers and all your supplies.

While you can easily tow a lot with either the Ford or the Chevy, we’re more interested in how much your truck can hold in the bed. Both models come with standard boxes measuring over six feet as well as available 8-foot boxes. However, one can carry more than the other when it comes to payload. Check out how the F-350 and the Silverado 3500 compare when properly equipped:

• Ford F-350 maximum payload: 8,000 pounds
• Chevy Silverado 3500 maximum payload: 7,571 pounds

With even more capability to carry all your supplies and equipment, the Ford F-350 is the better choice for your next job.

If you’re heading to a new jobsite, you may be carpooling with some of your coworkers. If so, you’ll want a cabin that can fit everyone comfortably. After all, you’ll want some space after a long, hot day outdoors. Both the Ford and the Chevy have spacious cabins, but you’ll find more options with the Ford:

While the Regular Cab seats three, the other two have room for six passengers. In comparison, the Chevy Silverado 3500 offers a Regular Cab and a Crew Cab, missing out on the additional SuperCab the Ford has.

Just like Goldilocks, you’ll want your cabin to be just right. The SuperCab is the perfect medium-sized option between the smaller Regular Cab and the larger Crew Cab, and you’ll only find it in the Ford.
