1. Ram 2500
The Ram 2500 despite being a heavy duty truck doesn’t feel like one to a good extent. The pickup truck is one of the finest machines when it comes to supple ride - thanks to the presence of coil-spring rear suspension that comes as standard. Classy interiors provide a feeling like you’re seated in a luxury car, thereby, adding to your driving comfort. Engine choices include 400 lb-ft 5.7-liter and 429 lb-ft 6.4-liter V8 gas engine. There is also an optional 6.7-liter turbo-diesel inline-six, offering 800 lb-ft of torque. The Ram 2500 has a maximum towing capacity of 17,980 lbs.
2. Silverado 2500HD
The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, for most folks, is the finest truck on site and off road. Equipped with a maximum towing capacity of 18,000 and 23,200 pounds (available with the 3500 HD model), this beast can handle and tow just about anything thrown at it. Look for a recent model at heavy duty truck auctions, as the new versions come with some major improvements. These include better sound insulation for quieter rides and intuitive touch screens for entertainment. The 2500 HD comes with a 6.0-liter V8 as standard. The 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V-8 engine producing 910 lb-ft of torque is optional.
3. GMC Sierra 2500HD
The GMC Sierra built on the same chassis of the Silverado 2500HD, looks more refined on the exterior - thanks to its Denali trim level. Improved features include an updated infotainment system and interiors. Although, the Sierra 2500HD is available in three engine trims, we recommend the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel that comes with the Allison transmission. The Sierra 2500HD has a maximum towing capacity of of 18,000 lb.
4. Ford F-250 Super Duty
Ford F-250 Super Duty is an ideal truck for buyers who cannot compromise on power, performance, and styling. You get a 6.2-liter V8 engine with maximum towing capacity of 15,000 lb as standard. If you go for the 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8 and you are equipped with a massive 32,500 lb at your disposal. Other notable features include six exterior cameras and My Ford Touch infotainment system boasting an 8-inch touchscreen.
Final Words
The heavy duty trucks listed in the blog post are built for performance, and by that we mean some serious towing. The manufacturers besides paying attention to power, have emphasized on classy interiors, so you would not feel like you’re driving a traditional truck. Register at online truck auctions and bid for these mean machines for almost half the cost of a new model. Be ready for some extensive research, though.
